Spellings - Year 3 and 4 Common Exception Words and Ideas to Practise Spellings

In Year 3, children are expected to know the 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times table. They have been learning 2, 5 and 10 in Year 2 so this year we will be learning the 3, 4 and 8 times tables. These can be found at the back of their reading diary. Children will be tested every Friday on their tables so any support you can give your child to learn them would be fantastic. They will have times tables mixed in  tests to practise for the online test we do in school at the end of each term. 

Click here to practise times tables using the online test. Click Play Game, Adjust Difficulty, then deselect 6,7,9,11 and 12 times tables.
