Our Class Noticeboard 

PE
PE will be held every Monday. Children should come to school in their kit on this day, dressed appropriately for the weather predicted that day.  Swimming will be every Friday until the Easter break, see previous letter for details.

Spelling homework 
Spellings will be added to the red Homework Book on a Wednesday each week.  They will be tested this day also from the previous week. The result will be sent home in the Homework Book on a Wednesday.
  
Books should stay at home during the week, so the spellings can be revised. 

Children receive two spelling teaching lessons per week, but learning the words at home is also important.
  
Times Tables Homework
The 99 club is used to test times tables knowledge twice weekly. You will receive completed sheets home to aid revision at home. 

Additional Help
See links for SpellingShed (where your child's weekly spelling words can be found,) and Rockstars (which is bespoke times table learning for your child,) on the right,  to practice these skills at home.  Use of this online learning is optional.

Please ask if any more details are required about anything above.

National Times Tables Test 



The National Curriculum requirement is for all Year 4 children to be able to recall instantly all the times tables up to x12 by June that year. 


Year 4 and Year 3 children should make this a focus for their learning at home. All maths can be linked to tables; knowing them well gives your child the foundation understanding essential in maths, (and knowing them takes that pressure away.) 

Times Table Rockstars National Test Simulation

Your child can practise for their National Times Table Test via 'Soundcheck' on Rockstars or using the National Test Simulation link above. In both cases, please encourage your child to allow the full 6 seconds to pass they are given for each question.  Do not hit enter after answering. This allows children time to correct their answer if needed and is an essential skills for the actual National Test they take in June of Year 4.
