We would like to welcome you to Years Three and Four.
On this page you will find useful information about your child’s homework, weekly timetable, links to useful apps and other important information.
Homework
Homework is given out weekly and should be returned by the following Tuesday. We alternate between setting English and Maths homework.
We encourage children to regularly practise their times tables and spellings as they will complete weekly tests. Children are encouraged to use Times Table Rock Stars to practise their times tables.
We recommend that children should be reading at home for at least 20 minutes each day. Children should be filling in their own reading record and parents are asked to sign the reading records each week.
Our school uses Accelerated Reader to monitor our children’s reading progress. Children will select a book from the KS2 Library that is within their reading range. Children should take a quiz on Accelerated Reader before changing their book. This can be completed at home or in school but must be completed independently.
PE
We ask that children have their P.E kits in school at all times. Children are expected to have both an indoor and an outdoor PE kit. Please refer to our school Uniform Policy for further information.
PE times are as follows:
3N – Wednesday Dance (Indoor Kit) and Thursday Games (Outdoor Kit).
3/4JB – Tuesday Swimming and Thursday Games (Outdoor Kit).
4C – Wednesday Dance (Indoor Kit) and Thursday Games (Outdoor Kit).
Music
Years Three and Four are extremely fortunate to benefit from Whole Class Instrumental Teaching (WCIT) from Dudley Performing Arts (DPA). In the Spring Term, 3N will be participating in these lessons on a Friday morning.
Water bottles
We encourage our children to stay hydrated throughout the day and welcome water bottles to be brought in. Please could you ensure that the bottle is labelled to avoid it getting misplaced.

While at home could children in Years 3 and 4 complete the following tasks:
Addition and Subtraction B on Maths.co.uk (KS1, KS2 Standardised Maths Tests and Primary Maths Assessments Online)
30 minutes on Garage on TT Rockstars (Times Tables Rock Stars: Play)
These are not long tasks and we hope you are able to have fun and play in the snow.
Have fun and stay safe!
