Maths: Will sometimes be online, using the MyMaths website (information to follow). Other weeks the homework will be paper based. All activities will be based on current class work or a revision activity.

At the beginning of term the children will be given a number of homework activities. It will be up to you which activity you and your child complete, and in what order. HOWEVER we do except a piece a week. Handed in on a Wednesday.

Late homework will be noted as received, initialed, but will not be marked.

Grammar focus: Word Consolidating Year 3: Formation of nouns using a range of prefixes (for example super–, anti–, auto–) Use of the forms a or an according to whether the next word begins with a consonant or a vowel (for example, a rock, an open box) Word families based on common words, showing how words are related in form and meaning (for example, solve, solution, solver, dissolve, insoluble) Word Year 4 The grammatical difference between plural and possessive –s Standard English forms for verb inflections instead of local spoken forms (for example, we were instead of we was, or I did instead of I done)

Children will be responsible for changing their own books and will be reminded/given the chance to do this every day if they wish. Children will be given the choice of a range of books that have been carefully banded, according to difficulty, where appropriate. Children should be encouraged to write comments in their reading record every day. We would appreciate your co-operation in ensuring that the book is signed at least three times a week, along with the date and any comments you may wish to make with regard to your child’s reading. A teacher or TA will look at every child’s reading record every Tuesday. It is extremely important that your child reads daily. We expect children to read for at least 10 minutes every day. Even the most independent of readers will need to discuss the content of the book with an adult. Please ensure that they understand the vocabulary and that they are reading with expression and above all enjoyment!
