At Elworth Hall, we value our parents support in all that we do. Home Learning is to consolidate all that we do in school. 

Reading:  Year 4

Children in Year 4 should read and record 4 times a week to develop their skills in fluency and comprehension. Where possible, this reading should be shared with an adult.   Children are assessed by staff, as and when appropriate, to determine their book band. Children will bring home a banded reading book from school to read at home. If your child is not enjoying their selected school book band book, they are able to read a book of choice, but please ensure this is recorded so the appropriateness of these texts can be checked by the teacher. 

Please note that books and reading records should be in school every day.  Reading books will be changed on a Monday. 

Spelling

We follow the Ready, Steady, Spell program to deliver spelling lessons 3 times a week. The children will complete a spelling word check each Friday. Spellings will be sent out at the start of each half term. Please support your child to use the strategies detailed to practise and prepare for the word check. 

Maths

The children are expected to practise multiplication facts up to 12 x 12 at least 4 times a week for approximately 10 minutes. The children have access to TTRS and each Monday a Blooket QR will be posted. The children can also practise these facts verbally with an adult or through the use of off line games and activities- a pack of cards is great resources for times table practise as are dice. At points throughout the year, your child may receive additional Maths homework to practise and consolidate learning in school.
