Reading
As I have already said, Year 4 is a busy year, however we shall endeavour to listen to all children read at least once a week and in our guided reading sessions weekly, please ensure you child has their reading record and reading book in school every day. We thank you for continuing to listen to your children read at home. In the past, parents have asked about suggestions to keep children reading, so you might like to try listening to audio books or using ebooks on a tablet device as an alternative to a traditional format. As children become more confident readers, please continue to encourage your child to read out loud to an adult at home. Please record anything they read aloud into their reading records
Homework
Homework will re-start after the first week back. Homework is issued on a Friday, and should be returned by the following Wednesday. Please encourage your children to be as creative as possible.
