Year 3/4 weekly homework
Homework will include:
- Spellings on Ed Shed, these should be played 'little and often' throughout the week. Mrs Hagan will award 'dojos' based on how many times the games have been played in the week.
- Maths: a Maths activity will be provided on My Maths
-Reading: reading should be completed at least 5 times per week. Reading books and reading records must come to school on a Monday and Friday to be checked/ changed - including free readers!
The children should be able to access their homework as independently as possible, with some guidance or support. If you have any problems with the homework set, please talk to the teachers.
Reading records need to be in school everyday and will be checked every Monday and Friday. It is expected to have 5 adult signatures a week.
Times Table Practise please practise times tables with your child regularly. Little and often is the best way! There are some excellent online games and apps which we will add to the useful links section.
Project Home Learning
As a school we set the children an extended piece of home learning linked to our project. This is an opportunity for the family to work together on something and you will always have a few weeks to complete this, ready for our outcomes.
Autumn 2
This term our writing journey is inspired by The Barnabus Project by The Fan Brothers. Our writing outcome will be an information page about our own 'failed pet project' and how to look after them. After lots of discussions about how nobody is 'perfect' and everyone should be accepted for who they are, the children designed their own 'failed pets' to be sold, looked after and loved. First, we took part in a draw along to learn how to draw a 'mash up' animal with one of the Fan brothers them selves! Then, we used that inspiration to design our own pets.
Autumn 1 - 2025
For our first writing journey of the year, we were learning to write instructions. We made robot hands and then wrote instructions to teach someone else to make one!
This term in science, we are learning about forces and magnets. Today, we have been investigating if the biggest magnets are always the strongest... what is your prediction?
