Cocoons Home Learning
English
Reading
Reading is one of the most important things you can do to support your child at home. Please ensure you are hearing your child read for at least 20 minutes every day.
In school we use VIPERS to support reading comprehension.
For more support with reading go to the 'Reading at Home' page on the school website... or come to see me!
Spelling
Words will be sent out via Spelling Frame to practise and test at home.
Further spelling and grammar support activities can be found below.
SPAG Mats
Further information about spelling expectations can be found on the Oxford Owl website here.
Maths
I will set Maths homework via MyMaths. This will be linked to the current learning as a consolidation activity. I may also set times table activities via other platforms or programmes. Notifications about any extra homework will come out via Marvellous Me. :-)
Times table fluency is essential to many areas of mathematical learning and in Year 4 the children will take the Multiplication Tables Check. Here are some links to help your child practise these.
You can also visit Maths Frame which replicates the government test and you can adjust the test conditions to suit.

Please send in your colour poem ideas for Harvest as per my email. I have attached the documents below for your reference and the colours each child should complete. Remember, use your senses to think of ideas for what each colour smells, tastes, looks, feels and sounds like. My example is below. Thank you so much. Mrs P :-)
