Homework
This year, the children will be asked to complete two pieces of work from their CGP homework books. These will be checked at school each Friday.
Alongside this, we have set the expectation that the children read a minimum of three times per week which should be recorded in their reading records. Finally, complete 10 minutes of Times Table Rockstars each week. Logins can be found in your child's reading record.
If you would like to complete any additional spelling practise with your children, please find below the spelling rules that we will be covering this term.
Reading
We are incredibly passionate about creating a love of reading within your children. Therefore, please listen to your child read aloud a minimum of three times a week. Even if they are a confident reader, it is important that they heard reading aloud to check for any mispronunciations and to practice expression and fluency within their reading. This doesn’t always need to be a reading book; your child could read recipes, information online, magazines etc. If you would like any tips for reading at home or more information about our general learning in year 3/4, this can be found in the middle of their reading records.
PE
PE kits should be brought into school at the beginning of each term.
Redwood PE days - Tuesday & Friday
Beech PE days - Monday & Thursday
Maple PE days - Monday & Thursday
Communication
Please do not hesitate to speak to a member of the Year 3 & 4 team if you have any queries, questions or to share anything that is important for us to know.
