Spellings

Lists will be given out every Friday to be learnt by the following Thursday.

Reading books

Home school reading books should be brought back into school when the children are ready to change them. Reading is still very important, please try to read regularly with your child.

Water Bottles

We do ask you to provide your child with a see through water bottle which they can fill in school if need be. These can be bought in school if you wish. The water bottles must go home each day to be washed in hot soapy water.

The children will need to have their P.E. kits in school for our P.E. lessons on a Wednesday and Friday.

The children will need to bring their PE bag into school containing their red P.E shirt, school sweatshirt, dark jogging bottoms, leggings or shorts and trainers on these days.

TIMES TABLES

Times tables are really important and by the end of year 4 it is expected that you should recall your times tables up to 12 x 12. In school we will be playing daily times tables games including TT Rockstars. This is to ensure the children achieve the best result they can in the Times Tables test in June

This website gives you an example game of what the test will be like so you can practise one here as much as you like. You will have to get used to the time element - I do understand that the time element can upset some children and make them anxious but if we start now and practise as much as we can, we can build up their confidence for when it comes to the actual test.
