Year Four Homework
Reading
The most important thing you can do to help your child is to read with them everyday.
Your child needs to read with an adult every night. Please practise reading aloud and talk to them about the book.
You can change your book regularly at school.
Each child can do extra reading on Get Epic Your child has been given a class code
Maths
Your child has access to:
MyMaths - this is set by the teacher each week.
Doodle maths - this is set individually for each child at their level of learning.
TT Rockstars - this is to help your child learn their times tables.
You can help your child even more by doing everyday activities at home that need maths. For instance, ask them to help work out the cost of shopping. If you enjoy cooking, why not get them to help with the recipe? Measure the amounts of flour, sugar, count the eggs and use the clock to work out when your cake will be baked. When you are sharing food like pizza or cake, ask your child to help you share it equally between the number of people eating. Plan dates using a calendar and use timetables for train and bus journeys. Talk about time. For example, get them to work out what time you need to leave the house to get to school on time.
Reading and maths are very important, but exploring the world and enjoying experiences together are equally important. Talking whilst having fun can accelerate learning in lots of ways. How many of these challenges can you complete in Year 4? Make sure you check with your parents first.
