Homework
This week, we will be asking the children to research a particular African Country and present this in a creative way to hold as an exhibition.
Homework will normally be set every Monday on Google Classroom to be handed in on Friday. We will be focusing on Reading, Spelling and Times Tables practice.
In Year 4, we know how important Reading is to develop the children in all subjects. Therefore we expect the children to read for at least 10 minutes each day, 5 times per week as part of your their homework. The children can read a book from the Class Library, from Bug Club online or a book from home. In Year 4, it is important to do a mixture of independent reading and reading with an adult and for your child to independently record their opinions about the book in their Reading Record.
