Sounds and Syllables

It is important that your child spends time learning the words given in this section of their homework as these words form part of the Statutory Spelling list for Year 3 and 4 and may well feature in future formal assessments.

They are also really useful words to know how to spell when writing. 

Each week we are going to give you a five words from the Year 3/4 Statutory Spelling list, this is a list of spellings that you need to be able to spell accurately by the time you leave Year 4.

We need you to use your Sounds and Syllables techniques to Say the Word, Snip into syllables, Say the sounds and draw the sound lines and then check your spellings. As this will help you learn them. 

Each week some spellings from the previous week will appear to ensure that you keep practising them, we have not made a mistake we are asking you to over learn words that you have already seen before. 

We have included a Technique bookmark to remind you what to do and also a separate answer sheet for parents so that they can support you.  

Please spend between 5 and 10 minutes every day having a go at this. 

Maths - KIRF -  4 times table

This week we would like you to continue to work on the 4 times table. This is in addition to learning the times table that we have asked you to learn for the times table challenge. Spend some time completing this written task but also use the games for the 4 times table that is at the top of the Homework hub. 

Remember the more time you spend learning your times tables now, the easier all your Maths will become and the better prepared you will be for the Year 4 Multiplication Check next June!
