This might be a Maths activity, a Writing activity, times tables, spelling or something specific to your child’s needs.
Children are also welcome to attend Breakfast Club at 08:15am (paid) or 08.30am where toast, crumpets and juice are provided free of charge.
At the end of the day, children are to be collected from the hall gate at 3.05pm.

Homework Expectations
In Year 4, children are expected to read for at least 15 minutes four times a week with an adult at home. Please can this be recorded in their reading records daily. This is a crucial element to the children’s progression in school. If children are not showing that they are reading consistently at home (with it written in their diary), then they will be asked to attend reading club on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday break time for 10 minutes.
Year 4 children will be given a weekly spelling list that focuses on the spelling pattern we are learning that week. We will have a spelling test every Monday and record scores to track progress. Please make sure your child is practicing these spelling words each week.
Please can children be using Times Table Rock Stars to practice their times tables four times a week. Please ensure your children are practicing regularly and understand the importance of knowing their times tables.
