Summer Term 2025

Friday 25th April- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 2nd May

Welcome back to the Summer Term! Thank you to the children who have already handed back their maths booklets that Mrs Sharma gave out for Easter Holiday homework- if you have not given it back to Mrs Sharma, please make sure you do so.

This week the children have been working on adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator (bottom number of the fraction). When the denominator is the same, the children only add the numerator (top number) to work out the answer, the denominator stays the same.

There are 2 activities below for Going for Gold and help for getting the Gold. There are 3 sheets in Going for Gold, you do only need to complete 2 out of the 3.

Spring Term 2025

28.03.25

I have extended the below homework for TT Rockstars for another week, to try and get more consistent engagement from all children as at the moment there has only been a small uptake in what has been practices over the past 7 days. Please let Mrs Sharma or Mrs Johnson know if you are experiencing any problems with logging on.

Friday 21st March- to be completed on TTRS over the week for us to check progress on Friday 28th March

This week, now we have given out the heatmaps at PTCs to show their times tables knowledge, we would like the children to spend this week practising their times tables on their TTRS log in. All log ins are stuck on the inside cover of their reading record books. If you haven't yet got your child's heatmap or want to see it on the child's log in please follow the instructions below:

To view a heatmap on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS), log in with your child's account, click their avatar, select "My Stats," then scroll down and click "Fluency" to see their heatmap

Mrs Sharma and I will be logging in across the week to see how well the children have been engaging with it. Any problems, please let us know.

Friday 14th March- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 21st March

This week, the children are working on reading scales in the context of mass. Below is an activity for them to measure using grams. Please choose one of the activities for them to complete.

Friday 7th March- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 14th March

This week the children have continued their learning of fractions. We have been looking at equivalent fractions, working out which set of fractions are equal using number lines and the fraction wall.

Below are some activities to complete on equivalent fractions. I have also uploaded a fraction wall for the children to use a visual resource. Please only choose one of the sheets for the children to complete.

Friday 28th February- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 7th March

This week, we have started our new maths topic of fractions. The children have been familiarising themselves with a unit fraction. This week- we have set a task top compare and order different unit fractions. To help us remember the quantity of a fraction, we have practised that:

The bigger the denominator (bottom number) the smaller the fraction

Below is an activity to support this, as well as the knowledge organiser for our fractions topic. Please only choose 1 of the activity sheets to complete, the concepts get more complex through the activity sheets.

Half Term Homework- Friday 14th February

The children have worked really hard to master some of their maths skills in measuring, particularly with perimeter. 

Perimeter is the total length of all sides of the outside of a shape.

Below is an activity for the children to complete and a knowledge organiser to show all the skills the children have been focusing on in the last few weeks in maths.

Have a lovely half term! If you would like to share any photos of your week to dojo, please feel free as we know some of you are off on exciting holidays! We will share them when we come back on Monday 24th February.

Mrs Johnson and Mrs Sharma

Friday 7th February- to be completed on Purple Mash by Friday 14th February

This week, the children have been exploring equivalent measurements between mm, cm and m. This week we have set a '2do' activity on purple mash to practice converting between the different measurements. Please make sure the children log on to complete this activity and we will comment on them on there as they are submitted.

Friday 31st January- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 7th February

This week in maths we have started our new topic of length and perimeter. The children have been familiarising  themselves in measuring accurately in units of mm, cm and m.

For this week's homework, we would like the children to choose 6 items around their house to estimate the length of then measure and record their answers using the correct unit of measurement. If you would like to borrow a ruler from school to complete the activity, please let Mrs Johnson or Mrs Sharma know. Below is a sheet for them to record their findings, then answer some questions based on their results.

Friday 24th January- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 31st January

This week the children have completed their second unit of multiplication and division. Next week, we will be moving onto length and perimeter. For their homework, we would like the children to complete an activity called 'How many ways' where the children will have to work methodically to work out how many different possibilities or combinations there can be to a question. 

The sheets that are available below start with a more simple concept of the same idea and increase in complexity in the second and third sheet which is the more challenging ideas. Please only complete ONE of the three sheets based on your child's current understanding of the concept.

Friday 17th January- to be logged on TT Rockstars by Friday 24th January

We are continuing our work on multiplication and division. To apply their number facts to multiply and divide with higher numbers, their times table knowledge is really beneficial. Therefore, this week we would like the children to log onto their TT Rockstars account (all children have log in details in their reading record books) and play some of the games that are available. We have placed the children in groups on there so that they can focus on sets of times tables based on their current understanding. We have attached a parent guide that explain each of the games that are played and how to make adjustments to support children further. We will be logging in over the week to see how much children have played, and each child that makes it into the top 10 on the school leaderboard will be awarded with a special certificate. Year 4s are hugely competitive ad it would be lovelt to see some of the Year 3s challenging some of them who are in the top 10!

Friday 10th January- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 17th January

This week in maths, we have been looking at multiplication. This week there are some reasoning questionings for the children to complete. The document that has been uploaded is progressive in its difficulty so please choose only one of the sheets for the children to complete based on their current understanding.

Autumn Term 2024

Christmas Holiday Homework

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for all your support with homework this term. 

Christmas is such a special time to relax and enjoy time with loved ones, and the children (and adults!) deserve a well earned break!. We will not be setting any homework over the holidays. The children are welcome to share what they have been up to over the holidays on Class Dojo. The teachers will also be having a break too so will respond to anything that is uploaded over the holidays when we return in January 

Continue to enjoy reading, playing games and having lots of festive fun.

From the teaching team at King's Court, we will all our families a very Merry Christmas and we will see you again in the new year.

Friday 13th December- to be uploaded to Dojo by Friday 20th December

Over the past couple of weeks in maths we have been practising and developing our knowledge of the 3, 4 and 8 times tables. Below are some mindfulness colouring based on these multiplication facts. There is a key to show what colour to use based on the answer to the times tables question.

Friday 6th December- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 13th December

The children have continued to really impress us with acquiring and improving their times table knowledge. This week, the focus has been around counting in 4s. This has included looking at pictorial representations and understanding how to extract information from word problems to write the correct number sentences both for multiplication and division sums.

Please see below the activity to support the learning completed this week. There is a Going for Gold and a support for getting to gold activity. Please choose only one of these to complete

Friday 29th November- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 6th December

This week in maths- we have been focusing on different strategies to solve multiplication and division problems. We have been linking this to counting in 3s which we are working on improving on recalling at speed in different contexts as well as familiarising ourselves with the pattern of counting in 3s.

Below is a Going for Gold activity which is a 3x table mastery mat to help support this concept. If your child needs support getting to gold, then please complete the alternative activity below. Please only choose 1 activity to complete, there is no need to complete them both.

Friday 22nd November- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 29th November

This week we have been using different strategies to multiply 2 numbers together. The children have showed real skill and confidence with this.

Below I have uploaded a set of activities for the children to choose from to complete. Just like in our maths lessons, the first few questions start off with the simple concept and as the activities progress, they challenge the more deeper understanding of the concept. Please choose ONE out of the 3 sheets for the children to complete. If they need some support still with the concept then choose the first page, but if you feel they are confident then challenging them to the second or third page where they will have to explain their reasoning based on the concept. Please do not make the children complete all 3 sheets. It is where they are currently in their understanding of the concept.

Maths Homework- 15.11.24- to be uploaded to dojo by 22.11.24

This week in maths we have been looking at compliments to 100 which is the same as number bonds to 100. We have been using our number fact knowledge of lower number bonds to apply to tens numbers to 100 

Eg:

4+6=10

40+60=100

Part of the activity is using a number line to work out the missing value to make 100. The children need to add up to the next 10s number first then add in 10s until they get to 100. 

Eg:

58 + __ = 100

58 + 2 = 60    60 + 40 = 100  so the compliment/bond to 58 will be 42

If you need support getting to gold there is an activity below with lower number bonds.

Maths homework 8.11.24 - to be uploaded by Friday 15th November

Maths Homework 25.10.24 - to be uploaded by 8.11.24

This week we have continued our learning on addition and subtraction.  Some of us have been ready to move on to adding and subtracting larger numbers with exchanging.  We have identified that you need to exchange when a number in the column is greater than 10.  

Maths Homework- 18.10.24- to be uploaded to dojo by Thursday 24th October

This week the children have been using columns to add and subtract numbers without exchanging.

The going for gold challenge is below.  You may choose to complete both sections but you are not expected to complete them all.

If you need help getting to gold- try using some slightly lower numbers, you could take the H column away and just add T and O.

Maths Homework- 04.10.24- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 11th October

This week the children have been exploring 1, 10 and 100 more or less than any given number up to 1000. We have focused on making sure we only look at the column we are changing eg: if we are finding 100 more then only looking at the hundreds columns as the rest will stay the same.

The going for gold challenge is below- there are 3 different activities you can choose from. You are not expected to complete them all.

If you need help getting to gold- try finding just 10 more and less first using some slightly lower numbers.

Maths Homework 27.09.24- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 4th October

This week in maths, we are finishing off our unit on place value. The children have been using the more than, less than and equals symbols to compare numbers to 1000. We have talked about the signs being the mouth of Charlie the Crocodile, who always eats the biggest number. 

Please complete the activities set as '2 Dos' on their Purple Mash log ins. 

Maths Homework- 20.09.24- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 27th September

This week, we have continued our work on place value, including finding 1, 10 and 100 more or less than any given number. This helps the children understand further the value of the digit that is changing.

We have uploaded a Four in a Row place value game for the children to play based on this concept. We have uploaded a few different games that increase in difficulty. Please allow the children to select which game they would like to play. We would love to see photos on dojo of the children playing this with someone at home.

Maths Homework- 13.09.24- to be uploaded to dojo by Friday 20th September

This week in maths, we have been looking at partitioning both 3 and 4 digit numbers by explaining what each digit of the number is made up of. For this week's 'Going for Gold' Homework, the children have an activity to complete to partition either 3 or 4 digit numbers.

If you need help getting to gold, use the pictures of the dienes on the sheets to help you partition the number, this is the same resource that we have been using in class which all children were successful at.

Summer Term 2024

Maths Homework To Be Uploaded To Dojo By 19.07.24

For this week's homework activity we would like children to collect their own set of data and create a pictogram, bar chart, or table with the results.

If children struggle, please provide prompts using the 3D shapes poster attached. 

Maths Homework - To Be Uploaded To Dojo By 21.06.24

In Owl class we have been working very hard on our new topic of shape. We have previously explored angles and are now moving onto parallel and perpendicular lines. For this week's homework activity, we would like children to become more accustomed to the vocabulary and understand that these tricky (and long) words are names for slightly less complicated concepts. Please complete either page 1 (bronze), page 2 (silver) or page 3 (gold) from the attachment below. 

Maths Homework - To Be Uploaded To Dojo By 14.06.24 

This week we have started our new topic of 'shape'. We have looked at angles and turns in class this week with a focus on right angles. For this week's homework activity we would like children to ensure they have a good understanding of turns and angles. Using the activity attached, the children are asked to discover which shape their character will face  using right angle turns either clockwise and/or anticlockwise. Please complete 1 of the 3 worksheets (bronze - 1 star, silver - 2 star, gold - 3 star). 

Maths Homework - To Be Uploaded To Dojo by 24.05.24

As mathematicians this week, we have continued deepening our understanding on time. We have explored how to tell the time on analogue and digital clocks, to five minutes and one minute as well as understanding the difference between a.m and p.m.. For this week's homework activity, we would like children to complete the activities around telling the time to five miniutes to strengthen their understanding. 

10.05.24- Maths Homework- to be uploaded to dojo by 17.05.24

This week in maths, we have started our unit on time. Attached is a little challenge for the children to complete over the next week of things they can do in 10 seconds, 1 minute and 5 minutes. They are going to make an estimate first of how many of the activity they think they will be able to do, time themselves then record the actual amount.

Maths Homework - To Be Uploaded To Dojo By 10.05.24

This week we have continued to focus on our topic of money. We have explored adding and subtracting money as well as working out how much change we would receive from certain amounts. We have really enjoyed learning our current topic as we can make lots of links to the real world! Please choose one of the challenges to complete from below. 

Maths Homework- to be uploaded to dojo by 03.05.24

We have moved onto our new topic of money this week. Below are some activities to practice using pounds and pence. If you choose bronze, please choose 2 of the activities to complete- you do not have to complete them all!

Maths Homework - To be uplodaed to Dojo by 26.04.24

As part of our new topic we have been working to deepen our understanding on fractions. This week we have covered adding and subtracting fractions as well as finding fractions of certain amounts. We would like children to consolidate this learning at home through this weeks homework. Children can choose their challenge from the activity below. 

Using their times tables skills will be so importnat when finding fractions of amounts. The denominator will be the times tables that they will need to focus on counting in. eg: 1/5 of 20, they would count in 5s until they get to 20 (5, 10, 15, 20) 4 times so 1/5 of 20 is 4.

Easter Holiday Homework

Over the Easter Holidays, please can the children continue to practice TT Rockstars to build on the fluency of their times table knowledge and recall. 

If the children would like to get on our school leaderboard, they have to play 'studio' we have talked about it and the children are really keen to get competitive with Year 4! Playing 'Gig' mode will enable them to develop their heat map and it then targets specific questions for them to focus on.

Have a lovely Easter!
