We would welcome any parent helpers, especially those who can spare time to come and listen to readers or help us with our times tables. Please contact Miss Maxwell to arrange coming in. Any amount of time you can spare is extremely helpful.

Homework

We encourage children to read as often as possible at home and for you to read to them. Please let us know how they doing through making a note in their homework diary.

Homework will be given out every Friday and is to come in by the following Wednesday.

As children are required to know their multiplication tables up to 12x12 by the end of Year 4, a key area of focus is to develop our multiplication tables knowledge. Strong multiplication tables knowledge is crucial in many areas of maths and children should be able to recall these quickly and confidently. On top of your child's weekly mathematics homework, children should spend some time each week practising their times tables. Please enjoy exploring the times table activities below:
