It has been great to see so many children in over the last week. They have all been so excited to be back and have settled back to school quickly, even with some new rules and routines.
Today we have uploaded the home learning grid for this half term onto Google Classroom. These activities are some of the creative tasks that the children can complete over the half term We are asking for 3 to be completed before half term in October. There are a lot of tasks linked to our history topic of the Celts which we will start in a few weeks time. Encourage your child to be as creative as possible as we love to see their imaginative projects.
Alongside these creative tasks, we also expect the children to read at least 5 times a week in addition to reading in school (all have a book to bring home) and have their reading record signed by an adult/carer each time. We will be reading with each child over these first few weeks to check they are on the correct level, not just for fluency but also understanding. 
Each child will also need to continue to learn their times tables. At the end of year 4 there will be a national multiplication check (hopefully) which we will prepare the children for, but we do need your support to encourage your child to learn any times tables that they are unsure of. Using TT Rockstars is a great way to do this. Please ask for their log-ins if unsure.
Finally, all the children will have been sent home with a folder with their spellings for the week. This week we are focusing on double consonants which is a year 2 spelling pattern but always causes issues. The children have already had a spelling lesson in school where we have spoken about the rule and how to use it. Their home learning is to complete the ‘look, cover, write, check’ sheet and complete 4 sentences using 4 of the spelling words. This needs to completed neatly and using the word in the correct context. Some may need to check the meaning in a dictionary first. This sheet should be returned by Friday, after which they will be tested on the words. At the moment, all children will have the same words to learn but some may be given words more suitable to their needs over the next few weeks.
