In Class 4 the pupils are expected to:

Read their school book or another book every single day at home for around ten to twenty minutes. Discuss the way we read punctuation as well as words, how bold or italic words are read differently. Look for how advanced punctuation is used. For example, speech marks, brackets, commas, apostrophes etc. It is very important that adults discuss these things with their child as they are not likely to notice them on their own.  

Practise writing at home -  these activities will be based on the elements of what they are learning at school. Writing entire stories, poems or reports would benefit your child enormously but is not usually the kind of practise that children in these age groups are given for homework.

Practise their times tables daily for around ten to twenty minutes.  By year 4, all children need to consolidate their times tables and improve the speed of their recall and learn what the corresponding division facts are.
