It is a new half term, so that means a new KIRF!

To help you feel better prepared for the MTC in Year 4 the ideal is for you to know the 2, 3. 4, 5, 8 and 10 times table by the end of Year 3 .

In Year 2 you were asked to work on the 2, 5 and 10s, so this year we have been working on the 3, 4 and 8s. This half term is the turn of the 8 times table. 

In addition to whichever times table you are working on individually, you need to learn the 8 times table this half term. 

To help you with this we have included a parent support sheet and some homework to get you started. 

You need to be able to recall the times tables you are working on quickly and efficiently, out of order and without having to count them, as this will support your Maths work going forward. 

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.
