Welcome to Stoat class!
I hope you all had a lovely summer holiday. I’m excited to start this new school year with your child and look forward to a year filled with learning and growth.
I will be teaching the class and Mrs Bourne is our class TA. Our PE days will be on Tuesdays, so please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit. Other important information:
Please ensure that your child is:
- Reading at least three times a week
- Completing their Mymaths homework
- Visiting Rockstars at least twice a week
- Practising Year 3/4 spelling words
- Learning and practising the Autumn 1 KIRFs
I’m eager to get to know your child and build a strong, supportive learning environment together. If you have any questions or need to discuss anything, feel free to reach out.
Here’s to a wonderful year ahead!
Many Thanks
Mrs Lesser
Autumn 1 - Homework
Please find below some links which will support your child when completing their homework for this term.
Year 4 - Multiplication test
In June, your child will need to take a short online test to make sure their times tables knowledge is at the expected level, answering questions up to 12x12. As well as practicing times tables and Rockstars at school, please ensure your child is recalling multiplication facts at home too. You can find further information about the test at: Information for parents about multiplication check
Below I have attached a link to what the Year 4 times tables test will look like, this will be very useful for children to use at home: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/
Guided Reading
This week in guided reading we started our new text, 'Head kid' by David Baddiel. After reading the blurb, we made predictions about the book. We also used inference to start to build up picture of the main character. This book has had some humorous parts and we are enjoying it.
KIRFS
We have sent home KIRFs sheets with their homework. These are Key Instant Recall Facts that the children need to know to support other areas of maths. There is a set stuck in their homework books and a second set of the same facts to display somewhere at home to help you with regular practise. They will get a new set each half term.
