Reading - Read, read, read! Try to read with your child every day. In order to develop a love of reading, it is important that you read to your child as well as listening to them read.
Spelling - children will be working on spelling patterns at school. The common exception words for Year 1 and 2 and Years 3 and 4 are saved in the files section on this page. Please practise these at home.
Maths
This term we will be focusing on improving our understanding of place value.
We will be recognising the value of digits in 3, 4 and 5 digit numbers, writing numbers in digits and words. We will also be comparing, ordering and rounding numbers. We will learn through playing games and lots of practical work.
In Class Three, we will focus much of our maths work on learning times tables.
Years Three and Four are the years when children need to become fluent on all multiplication facts to 12 x 12.
In Year Three, children need to know multiplication facts for the 2, 5,10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables by heart.
In Year Four, children need to know these, plus facts for the 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12 times tables

To practise the Year 4 times table test go to https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/477/Multiplication-Tables-Check
You can programme individual tables to be tested on or a random mix.
All children have a login for Times Table Rockstars which is a fun and engaging way to practise! We will often have battles against children in our class or even Class Four! Have a look at your individual heatmap which will highlight tables that you need to practise.
Oxford Owl have a great guide to learning times tables with hints, tips and games.
