Year 4 Homework

Reading - We expect the children to read at least three times a week. They should record this in their school planners, on the yellow pages. We ask parents to sign this weekly. After finishing a book the children should log onto the accelerated reader website to complete a comprehension quiz to show their understanding of the text. Children should then record their score in their planner. Planners are only checked on Wednesdays by class staff.

Spellings - Children are given spellings to learn every Wednesday, these are stuck into the blue pages in their school planner. On the following Wednesday the children will be tested on these spellings on the pink pages in their school planner. The children should be practising their spellings throughout the week using strategies taught in school. They should do this on paper at home and make use of Spelling Shed (an online resource available to all pupils to support the learning of spellings set).

Log book tasks - One log book task is set approximately every half term.

English and Maths - One piece of either English or Maths homework will be sent home on alternate weeks. This will be set on a Tuesday and will be due in on the following Monday. If no homework has been completed the children will complete the outstanding homework during their lunchtime on Tuesdays.
