Homework in Year 4 will be completed on Class Dojo, where children can do the activities electronically or a photo of their written work can be uploaded. The weekly template for homework includes:
- A piece of English homework
- A spelling list
- A piece of Maths homework
- Times table practice
It is vital that the homework is regularly completed, so feedback can be given. It is also important that you hear your child read on a regular basis, ideally this would be for a minimum of 10 minutes a day.
We would like the children to complete a homework project this half term based on our topic of the Anglo-Saxons. The homework can be in any form that interests your child, for example it could be art work, a piece of writing or a PowerPoint. We look forward to seeing what they produce and it may be placed on display or even in the school museum.
