THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK
Homework: Week 3
Spring Year 4
SPELLINGS
We have completed
our medium frequency spellings for this year- the pupil’s scores should be with
them- please practice any they got wrong as these are the most important words
to learn. If your child had more than 5 wrong, they will be practising these in
their spelling lessons- if they didn’t then they will be working on different
spelling patterns, like last term.
This week’s pattern
– the suffix - ation. Adding this onto the end of words
information
sensation
preparation
investigation
frustration
operation
MATHS - Number work
Our focus this term is the 3, 4 and 8 times
table. If you have the time, please support your child with instant recall with
these facts. Your child can also practice by themselves by using the link below
for a fun times tables game – the link is also on the blog to save you typing
it in!
There is also a
worksheet to support the 4 times table this week
TOPIC WORK – OPTIONAL
Please could you
collect pine cones! If you are out and about on the weekend we need some pine
cones for our Forest schools work, so if you could get some pine cones that
would be much appreciated!

focussing on the children’s independence in their work! Outlined below are some

Our P.E days will be on
Monday and Thursday this term. Please can you ensure that all pupils make every
effort to bring their kits into school for this essential area of child
development. For this term (up until Easter) Yr 4 pupils will be swimming on a
Monday. Pupils need to bring appropriate kit for this activity.
Sycamore class are
also part of an exciting new creative project linked to The Arts Council of Wales and will be undertaking a range of dram and oracy based activities to
help support mathematical development. This will usually take place on a
Tuesday and is hoped to enthuse all children with numerical skills!
We will also be undertaking
some ‘forest schools’ skills with an outside agency- children will need to
bring on old clothes for these days- more information will follow nearer the
time.
Reading will take
place both individually and as part of group reading. Any extra reading is a
huge benefit to your child - sharing a book daily will make a huge difference
in their understanding and enjoyment. Times tables are also an important part
of numerical development. Please support your child in learning these, they
will be tested and their progress monitored throughout the year!
Homework will be
given out either on Thursday or Friday, starting next week, to be returned by
Wednesday unless stated. Homework will
also be put on the blog wherever possible.
If you have any
queries I am usually available in the classroom after school. Thank you for
your support and I look forward to a busy and productive autumn term.
Yours faithfully,
Mr C Munday
