Key Dates for the Diary

PE is on Tuesday. Children can come into school in their PE kits.

4P Class Assembly - Friday 10th March 2023

Inspire Afternoon - Monday 20th March 2023

 

 

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 Victorians. 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.
