Reading

Please read together at least three times a week and record in the reading record book. Children can record their own reading in their yellow diary, this can include school and home reading books. The focus should be fluency, expression and comprehension.

Spelling

For the majority of the class, we have a new scheme in school which follows a fortnightly pattern and uses an investigative approach.

Year 3/4 words - the children will be introduced to these over two years in class focusing on the areas of the word that are difficult or tricky to remember. This list will be sent home later in the year as appropriate.

The children may also be set spelling and grammar tasks on

spag.com from time to time.

Maths

A mathematics task will be set most weeks using Mathletics. This will link with the work covered in class that week.
