Chestnut Class Information

PE |
PE is every Monday and Thursday afternoon. PE kits are to be in school and children will get changed after lunch. |

Reading |
Children are expected to read to an adult daily (around 15 minutes) and recorded in their diary. These will be checked on a weekly basis and reading completed at home will contribute towards the reading challenge. The children are responsible for changing their own school reading book when necessary. |

Children need to have a named school water bottle in school which they can refill as needed throughout the day. |

Homework |
English and maths homework will be set on a Friday, to be completed and handed in the following Friday. |

Times Tables |
In Year 4, there is a large focus placed on Times Tables due to the Multiplication Check. We would expect children to feel fluent in their times tables by Spring/ Summer Term. We do fortnightly times tables challenges in class to reinforce their multiplication and division knowledge. Below are some suggested websites to help children practise. We also encourage children to participate in TTRS little and often and take part in a weekly competition to see which class has participated the most each week! Particularly for Year 4, the Soundcheck section on TTRS is most beneficial as this is timed for 6 seconds per question- which will be the same when they come to completing their multiplication check. https://www.ttrockstars.com https://www.timestables.co.uk/ |
