HOME READING

Please help your child to achieve their full potential as readers by ensuring that they read at home everyday. Evidence of reading at home must be recorded in their Reading Diary in order for their book to be changed in school.

REMEMBER as developing readers it is a good idea for children to read shorter books twice in order to develop both their decoding skills and comprehension.

HOMEWORK

Spellings
Children will be given up to 8 key words to learn at home each week. These will be sent home on a Monday in the reading diary.

Chilli Challenge
Keep an eye out for the next challenge!

Times Tables
With the MTC approaching in the Summer term for Year 4's, it's important to be helping your child practise their times tables. One helpful website with lots of activities and a mock MTC is www.timestables.co.uk

PE
Children will be taking part in PE on Mondays and Fridays this term. Please ensure that children have blue or maroon coloured shorts. As the weather remains colder, blue or maroon jogging bottoms and jumpers must be work.

Uniform
Please ensure that all items of clothing including pumps/trainers are labelled up to ensure they can be mathed to the right owner.
