Housekeeping

• Times Tables ~ Year 4 will be sitting a statutory Times Table screening test in June 2026, where they will be tested on all of their times tables through a mixture of 25 questions and will have 6 seconds to answer each of them. They are expected to practice their tables at home. Times Tables (up to x12) needs to be practised daily (5-10 minutes) (all children have a log in for TTRS)

• Spellings/Phonics ~ will be set weekly on Purple Mash and will be tested/assessed weekly.

• PE ~ Please make sure that your child has a full labelled PE kit (T shirt, shorts and black pumps/trainers) in school that fits them.

• Uniform ~ Please make sure that all school uniform is clearly labelled with your child's name.

• Homework ~ Homework consists of:
• daily reading
• phonics/spellings/grammar set on Purple Mash
• times tables set on TTRS
• Weekly work linked to our maths topic on MyMaths.

Homework will be set on a Monday and marked the following week.

**Please make sure you read every night and complete your homework every week - it is really important that you practise the skills we teach in school at home and homework is always based on the skills you will need for the SATS or what we have been learning in class that week.**
