Spellings
Spelling practice: Spelling words of the week will be sent home each term. At home they should use the Cradle Hill 8 strategies to support their learning of the words. You can also find free websites on which the children can play games which include the statutory Years 3/4 spelling words.
Spelling lessons and games take place at school weekly.
Multiplication Tables
Children are expected to be fluent in their multiplication tables by the end of Year 4 and will take the statutory Multiplication Check (MTC) in June.
The best way to prepare your child for this is through regular use of TTRockstars. The Studio game allows them to increase speed of recall. The Sound Check game mimics the MTC.
Reading
- Reading: Reading for pleasure for a minimum of 10 minutes each day, preferably with an adult. Please click on the image below to see our letter about the importance of reading at home and how this will be celebrated in Year Four.
