WELCOME TO YEAR 4 2025-26

Homework

Spelling Review

As we review our spelling scheme for September to ensure we continue to provide the very best learning experience for our children, Spelling Shed will not be available to use.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding while we complete the review. 

Thank you for your continued support.

In Year 4, homework will alternate each week between grammar and mathematics.

• Grammar tasks will be set in the children’s CPG Grammar workbooks.

• Mathematics tasks will be set in the White Rose workbooks.

These tasks are designed to help the children revisit and practise the skills they have been learning in class, giving them time to build confidence and independence.

This week, homework will be given times table practice in preparation for the Multiplication Timestable Check which will be taking please early in Summer 2. Please use this opportunity wisely to practice those multiplications you still find tricky!

Times Tables Rockstars

As you know, times tables are a really important part of Year 4 learning. To support your child, we encourage regular use of TT Rockstars at home.

Children should try different game modes such as:

• Garage – for practising their set times tables.

• Jamming – for choosing tables to focus on themselves.

• Soundcheck – to prepare for the statutory Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check in the summer term.

Short, regular practice (around 5–10 minutes a day) makes a big difference and will help your child feel more confident when recalling their multiplication facts quickly.

If you have any questions about homework, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
