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 Homework - KIRF - The 8 times table

This half term our KIRF is the 8 times table. This is something that you need to practise alongside and in addition to any other times tables that you have been asked to learn.

We have, as ever, included a parent guide to the KIRF with tips on how to learn it. For your homework, we need you to complete the work below and to keep practising both the times table you are on AND the 8 times table. There are other games at the top of the homework hub to help you with this.
