Homework

Reading: It is really important that children continue to read aloud to an adult as much as possible. Even just 5 minutes a night can make a HUGE difference to your child's fluency, confidence and enjoyment of reading. We are replacing paper reading journals with an online reading record called Boom Reader. (Details of this to follow shortly) Make sure you bring your reading book with you every day.
 
Spellings: 
Spelling homework will be set on a Monday using the Spelling Shed app.
The children are encouraged to log in and complete their weekly assignments little and often throughout the week. House points will be awarded for all completed assignments the following Monday.  Log in details can be found in the children’s homework folders.
 
Times Tables:
This is a big focus for us this year! As well as practising regularly at school, please encourage your children to log onto TT Rockstars and complete their weekly assignments. It is better to do this little and often rather than all at once. The children are expected to know all their multiplication facts up to 12x12 by the end of the year.

Class Gallery
Take a look at some of the fun learning we have been doing...

Egyptian Hook Day...

In Year 4 we became Egyptologists for the morning! We found out all about where Egypt is using an atlas and had a go at becoming archaeologists, excavating Egyptian artefacts! We also had a go at dancing like an Egyptian! It was great fun!

Egg Drop...

We put our team work skills to the test, designing and making out own egg carriers. We had to design and build a carrier that would protect our egg when dropped from 2 metres. We did a fantastic job as only one of our eggs cracked!!
