Weekly spellings and times tables  

Weekly spellings and times tables
 

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 Tuesday.

 

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) By the end of Year 4, children are expected to know all of their times tables up to 12 x 12 and TT Rockstars is a fantastic way to help your child achieve this.

 

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 Thursday! –  Lexia Core5 Reading – Login and Student Program

 

Spellings
 

The spellings for next week are:

 

arrive
believe
bicycle
breath
breathe

 

They will be tested on Friday 23rd September.

 

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 (they should be familiar with these as they also began learning them in Year 3). Please encourage your child to practice at home during the week 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…

 

 4 x table

 

The children will have questions on the four times table that go all the way up to 4 x 12. Try to encourage your child to learn as many 4 x table questions as possible without needing to start back at the beginning, for example knowing that 4 x 7 is 28 rather than have to count in 4’s up to the answer.

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