Welcome to Year 4
Miss Mason and Mr Loxham are really looking forward to meeting you all again on Thursday 3rd September. We will be focusing on re-connecting and re- engaging with school life so all children feel happy, safe and secure.
Homework
Homework will continue to be set on a Friday to be completed by the following Wednesday. We are moving to providing this online, making use of TTRockstars
and Purple Mash. The children frequently use these apps in school and have their individual log in details. Each week there will be an activity set up on Purple Mash which should appear as a 'to do' notification for the children. We would encourage the children to also spend a minimum of 5 minutes per day using TTRockstars to build confidence with multiplication recall. We will also be setting weekly spellings to learn shortly but the children can also make use of spelling games in Purple Mash and using the spooky spelling game.
Reading Challenge
Here at Puss Bank School, we also love to promote reading for pleasure! So reading for homework every day is also encouraged. Find a cosy, comfy place to read, read, read! We know you will read your book banded books as well as books by your favourite authors but why not try our reading challenge so that you can enjoy lots of different types of reading? Can you complete all of the tasks before Christmas? Use the reading challenge sheet below at home to inspire you to read more widely. We'd love to see what you get up to in your organiser. Try one new challenge each week.

How to stay safe online:
How to help at home:
Reading- Try to find time to listen to your child read every night or share bedtime stories together, they are never too old despite what they may say! This is a key year for extending your child's comprehension too, now that they can read more fluently, so do ask questions about the text. This will develop key reading skills such as summarising, predicting and retrieving information. It is also useful to help the children discover the meaning of new vocabulary. We'd also love to have some volunteers to listen to readers in school. Please consider helping us if you can.
Spelling - The key to children becoming good spellers is regular practice. Word searches, hangman, anagrams, speed writing, oral letter by letter recounting can all help make it more fun to learn spellings, but it is also important that children know what each word means. There are also lots of apps to help with this too. We follow the National Curriculum Objectives for Spelling using the No-Nonsense scheme for Year 4 and as such weekly spellings are vital to learn.
