Home Learning

Spellings

Spelling lists will be set at the beginning of each half term and children can select the list which they think is most appropriate to them. If they feel confident spelling the words in the ‘Practice’ list that week, they should learn the spellings from either the ‘Develop’ or ‘Expert’ list. The words in the ‘Expert’ list are slightly more challenging.

You can find the spelling lists for each term below:

Class 4 Spellings Autumn 1 2020-21

Class 4 Spellings Autumn 2 2020-21

Class 4 Spellings Spring 1 2020-21

Children have their own logins for Spelling Shed, where they can practise the spelling rule from the lists. This is assigned weekly, on the website. They also have access to the common exception words and the Year 3/4 spelling words lists for the whole year.

Times tables

The times tables focus for each week is detailed on the termly spelling lists. Children also have their own logins for Times Tables Rockstars, where they can practise the tables set each week.

Reading

Children should try to read at home as much as possible and record this in their reading records. Reading records should stay at home and will be collected in at the end of the half term, for teachers to look at.

It would be fantastic if children could access a wide variety of reading materials at home. This might include fiction and non-fiction books, newspapers or magazine, instructions and recipes, online articles or stories, leaflets and letters. Listening to stories being read by an adult or older sibling is also very valuable for children, as it can encourage their love of reading, help develop their comprehension skills and provide a model for fluent, expressive reading.

Below are some websites where children can listen to stories being read aloud:

https://www.storylineonline.net/

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/audio-stories/zh3t2sg

https://stories.audible.com/discovery

E-schools

If children are isolating, or our class bubble closes, online learning will take place on E-schools, which can be accessed at https://st-michaels-rc-primary.eschools.co.uk/  Each child has their own username and password to access their class page.

On the class homepage, there are a range of different activities, resources and videos to support spelling, times tables, handwriting and reading. These can be used to support children at home, even when they are still attending school.

Optional spelling and times tables homework is set on e-schools weekly, so the children can choose to complete these tasks to support them with the learning of their times tables and spellings for that week.

If children are isolating or the class bubble closes, resources, teaching videos and activities will be uploaded to e-schools daily. Children will need to check the ‘Projects’ and ‘Homework’ sections of their e-schools in order to access these.
