Welcome from Miss Spence

'The teachers are excellent'

Parent Survey

2021

Hello, I’m Miss Spence the Year 4 Teacher and Science subject lead. I love being apart of this fantastic community and am passionate about teaching, learning and creativity.

PE

We do PE on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Please ensure your child does not wear earrings or that these are taped and comes to school in their PE kit.

Although homework at Primary School is not compulsory, we believe that it is an important part of a child’s school life.

  • It provides great opportunities for them to learn independently.
  • It allows children to take responsibility for their learning; setting time aside and being organised – a valuable tool when moving through Key Stage 2 and onto secondary school.
  • Reinforces and consolidates classroom learning.
  • Provides opportunities for parents and children to enjoy learning together.
  • Inspires children to want to extend their learning.
 

Children will be set the following homework:

  • Daily reading 20 minutes
  • Times Tables Rockstars (TTRS)
  • A weekly MyMaths task.
  • Weekly spellings will be worked on in class, but parents will be given the y3/4 statutory spellings should they wish to give extra support to their child.
 

Times Tables
Here is a helpful link for you to use with your child to help them practice more if you wish.

Further Guidance on Homework
Homework should never cause unnecessary stress or anxiety for the child or parent. Please let the class teacher know if you feel this is the case. We recommend that children in Yr 3 and 4 do not spend longer than 30 – 40 minutes in any one homework session.

Please encourage your child to take pride in the good presentation of their homework.
