The homework in Year 4 for Term 1 will be based around reading. By this stage, your child should be able to read continuously for 20 minutes. Have your child choose a chapter book for their home reading this term, if they don’t have one please visit our library. Regularly discuss with your child the book they are reading. Ask them questions about the characters, the plot and their predictions/hopes for what will happen next.

In addition to reading each child is required to practice their multiplication facts every night, a skill that is invaluable throughout their education and beyond.

In preparation for a speaking and listening assessment, your child may be asked to prepare a short presentation.

SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD’S LEARNING

A wonderful way to support your child’s learning, is to spend quality time listening to them read and discussing their thoughts and feelings about what they are currently learning at school.
