For anyone who was unable to make our 'Meet the Teacher' meeting in September, please find the slides below.
Maths
Keep practising your times tables using TTRS. You need to be able to quickly recall your facts up to 12 x 12 and their corresponding division facts.
Year 4 children will need to complete the Multiplication Tables Check so regularly practicing 'Soundcheck' on TTRS will really help you!
Reading
It's really important to read everyday to develop fluency and intonation. Please remember to record your daily reading in your reading diary - if you complete 5 reads in a row you get to have afternoon tea with Mr Getty!
This term our Book Club text is The Goldfish Boy by Lisa Thompson.

Spelling
This week's spelling focus: Strategies for learning words: words from statutory and personal spelling lists
Common exception words
These are words which children are expected to spell by the end of either Year 3 & Year 4 and then Year 5 & 6.
Please practice these words with your children at home.
Years 3 and 4 statutory word list
Some ideas to practice are:
Rainbow writing
Pyramid words
Trace, copy and replicate
Drawing around the word to show the shape
Words without vowels
Be as creative as you like with your spelling practice!
Important things to remember:
PE days in Term 6 are Mondays and Thursdays (swimming continues)
Please ensure you bring your water bottle to class - with a sports cap lid.
Please make sure you have a reading book in school every day.
