Welcome back to school and to Rowan class.  I am really excited about the fantastic things we are going to be doing this year.

All the children have settled into Year 4 extremely well and I am positive that we are going to have a successful year.  Watch this space for news and photos of what we are doing.

Homework Expectations

Each night, the children will be set the following homework which should take 20 minutes and could include:

• Maths – to reinforce the learning in class.
• Reading – regular reading with your child will greatly benefit their progress in school. If your child is a fluent reader, talking to them about what they have read independently is more beneficial. Children can also practice their comprehension skills through readtheory.org. They all have individual log ins for this.
• Spelling – this could be an investigation into spelling rules, learning words with a particular phoneme, learning tricky words for a new topic or learning words that your child has spelt incorrectly in their general work.
• Other – this could be some research or writing to help any topic area.
