Our Class Noticeboard 


PE

PE will be held every Monday and Thursday, (but not on the first day back in Sept.) Children should come to school in their kit on these days, dressed appropriately for the weather predicted that day.   


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.


Help at home

Please do support your child with their learning at home. This is important, so they see that home is a place of learning just as school is. Support with reading alongside your child, practising times tables or reading / listening to a piece of writing they have created is all important for this reinforcement that learning is valued.


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

Please send in signed reading records everyday, we will count reads every THURSDAY. All reads go towards our 'Reading Rewards' scheme.  The children also get 2 house points for every home read.

 

Reading is a life skill and needed for every subject across the curriculum. 

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.
