Times tables
Your child’s login details for Times Table Rock Stars is stuck intheir homework books. Please login and practise regularly. I haven’t set specific times tables this week as I want to get a good idea of what times tables your child is confident with and which they need support with. If they’re struggling on any, that’s okay as there’s still a few tables they haven’t been taught yet.

This week’s spellings relate to the ‘j‘ sound at the end of a word. They will be tested on Friday 18 September 2020.
The j sound is spelled -dge straight after short vowel sounds (eg badge – the ‘a’ is making a short sound) and -ge (eg change – the ‘a’ is making a longer ‘ay’ sound) after all other sounds.
| badge |
| edge |
| bridge |
| fudge |
| charge |
| huge |
| change |
| village |
Take a look at our spelling guide for some suggested methods for learning these spellings.
