Spellings and times tables

Spellings
This week’s words to learn are homophones/near homophones:

accept/except

fair/fare

groan/grown

They will be tested on Friday 16th July.

Parents: all words are selected from the age-appropriate National Curriculum lists, 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 practise 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.

Times Tables
This week’s home learning is to revise a variety of multiplication and division facts:

9 x 0 =                     64 ÷ 8 =

108 ÷ 9 =                28 ÷ 4 =

12 x 12 =                  4 x 4 =

63 ÷ 9 =                   8 x 8 =

0 x 5 =                     9 x 8 =

33 ÷ 11 =                 32 ÷ 4 =

We will test the children with an emphasis on speed of recall. The aim is to have ‘instant recall’ so practise, practise, practise!
