Spellings

This week’s words to learn are:

mention

position

situation

explosion

occasion

They will be tested on Friday 20th November in school.

Parents: all words are selected from the age-appropriate National Curriculum list of statutory words. These are words your child has to know by the end of Year 4. Children are being taught strategies for learning spellings as part of their work at school. ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT THE PYRAMID AND THE WORD SHAPE STRATEGIES. They’re a fun way to help learn spellings. Please encourage them to practice at home during the week, and carry out an occasional test to prepare them for Friday morning.

On Friday after school, please ask your child their score.

This week’s math’s home learning is to become fluent in the second 6 multiples of 3

ie 7 x 3 = 3   8 x 3 = 6    9 x 3 = 9   10 x 3 = 12   11 x 3 = 15   12 x 3 = 18

Don’t forget that there are lots of different ways to ask times tables questions eg What are three 3s ? What is 2 times 3 ? What are 5 lots of 3 ? What is 6 x 3.

Practicing counting in threes will help with this.

If you want to challenge yourself see if you can spot any patterns in this counting in 3’s sequence

On Friday after school, please ask your child their score.
