Spellings

This week’s words to learn are:

strange  straight  strength  straw  strike

The children will be tested on these words on Friday 12th March 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. ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT THE PYRAMID AND THE WORD SHAPE STRATEGIES. They’re a fun way to help learn spellings. 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.

This week’s math’s home learning is to become fluent in the second 6 multiples of 8

ie 7 x 8 = 8   8 x 8 = 16    9 x 8 = 24   10 x 8 = 32   11 x 8 = 40   12 x 8 = 48

Don’t forget that there are lots of different ways to ask times tables questions eg What are seven 8s ? What is 12 times 8 ? What are 7 lots of 8 ? What is 10 x 8.

Practicing counting in eights will help with this.

The children will be tested on these words on Friday 19th March in school.

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