Reading Books - Reading is amazing and can open up whole new worlds. We continue to promote reading for pleasure! It's so important that your child reads every single day. In Year 4 it is expected that children read between 15-20 minutes a day, and at least 3 times per week. Reading will be monitored on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday.. Children will have a home reader book and reading record which must be signed by an adult when they have read 3 times. 

Times Tables Rock Stars - Please click the link https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student The children have their own username and password for this site. It is important that they are regulalry learning their tables. Children should access three times a week for at least 15 minutes. All primary school-aged children are expected to know their times tables up to 12 x 12 by heart. In fact, they are expected to have mastered their times tables by the end of Year 4. when children have a Multiplication Tables check which is set out by the government. 

For SEN pupils, homework is set as appropriate to their individual profiles and targeted learning plans. Parents will be informed accordingly.
