Weekly spellings and times tables

Reading – Please encourage your child to read over the weekend. It’s also great for children to have the opportunity to read with an adult. Please write in their Reading Record Books and ensure these come back on Monday. If children need to complete a book quiz at home, then simply follow the link- Renaissance – Log In (renaissance-go.com).

TT Rockstars – We really want the children to develop their times tables this academic year. We have set up an account on TT Rockstars for the children and their username is stuck in the back of their Reading Records. To access the website, follow this link – Times Tables Rock Stars: Play (ttrockstars.com).

Lexia- For those of you that also have Lexia accounts, why not login at home? Who knows, maybe you’ll make it onto our leaderboard in the 2%er assembly on Thursdays! – Lexia Core5 Reading – Login and Student Program

Spellings

The spellings for this week are:

forward(s)

fruit

grammar

group

guard

Spellings will be tested on Thursday 16th November (a lot of the children will be on a school trip on the Friday).

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. Please encourage your child to practice at home and carry out an occasional test to prepare them for Friday morning.

Times Tables

We would like the children to have a go at learning the…

11 x table

The children will have questions on the eleven times table that go all the way up to 11 x 12. Try to encourage your child to learn as many 11x table questions as possible without needing to start back at the beginning, for example knowing that 11 x 11 is 121 rather than have to count in 11’s up to the answer.

______________________________________________________________

On Thursday after school, please ask your child to see their scores. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
