Home Learning
Children in Year 4 will be set weekly online homework. This will be set on a Thursday and due by the following Wednesday. See the details below for what we expect the children to complete:
Maths
Pupils will be set a task on Freckle based on the learning that has taken place within the classroom. This is an opportunity for children to apply their knowledge independently and consolidate learning. Follow the link and enter the class code to access the homework.

Spelling
Pupils will be set weekly spelling tasks on Spelling Shed which will allow for further practice of the spellings/rules that we have been focusing on within class. Children have been given their log in details. See below for an overview of the Y1 & 2 words as well as the Y3 & 4 word lists that we will be working on throughout the year.

Reading
Although your child will be taught to read at school, you can have a huge impact on their reading journey by continuing their practice at home. Children will bring home a book that is based on their reading ability. We expect children to read at least 5 times a week. Once your child has completed a book, they will need to complete a quiz on Accelerated Reader. We will monitor the amount of words your child has read as well as their understanding of the text frequently. Children will be given stickers once they have completed quizzes and keep these as record of their reading throughout the year. Pupils have the log in and the link is as follows:
TT Rockstars
During Year 4, children are tested on their recall of times tables. We will use TT Rockstars as a way for children to regularly practice these facts. We recommend at least 3 minutes a day in order to have an impact on their speed of recall.
