Spellings

This week’s words to learn are:

early

earth

learn

actual

actually

They will be tested on Friday 9th October in school.

Parents: all words are selected from the age-appropriate National Curriculum list of statutory words. 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. Please encourage them to practice at home during the week, and carry out an occasional test to prepare them for Friday morning.

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

This week’s math’s home learning is to become fluent in the first 6 multiples of 4

eg    1 x 4 = 4      2 x 4 = 8      3 x 4 = 12      4 x 4 = 16       5 x 4   20        6 x 4 = 24

Don’t forget that that, in multiplication, the answer will be the same if the question is asked the other way round …

eg   4 x 1 = 4      4 x 2 = 8       4 x 3 = 12       4 x 4 = 16      4 x 5 = 20      4 x 6 = 24

Hopefully last week’s counting in fours will help with this.

If you want to challenge yourself see if you can spot any patterns in this counting in 4’s sequence

On Friday after school, please ask your child their score.
