Home Learning

20th September 2019

All home learning will be set here every Friday and will be tested the following Friday.

Spellings
This week’s words to learn are:

though

although

therefore

surprise

suppose

Parents: all words are selected from the age-appropriate National Curriculum lists, 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. This week we learnt some new strategies to help learn how to spell a word. 1. Look Cover Write Check 2. Bubble writing 3. Draw the shape of the word. Not forgetting the ‘pyramid’ strategy. Ask your child to show you how this works. Please encourage them to practice at home during the week, and carry out an occasional test to prepare them for Friday morning.

This week’s times tables to learn are:

6x

We have been using a video called 6 times table pop song on YouTube to help us this week.

We will test the children up to 12 times 6.

On Friday after school, please ask your child their score. We’ll talk to you about them during our Parents’ Evening appointment.
