Year 4
YEAR 4:
Hello and welcome!
We are so excited to be teaching Years 4 this year. Our aim is to ensure that all pupils achieve both national curriculum and individual goals whilst feeling supported, challenged and happy throughout the year. Children will continue to build on their prior knowledge, with learning scaffolded or deepened according to their needs. While sequential and progressive learning remains at the heart of our approach, pupils will also be challenged to think more critically—making connections between past and present learning, forming their own opinions, and engaging in meaningful debate.
Here are just a few of the wonderful things pupils will be learning over the year:
- Understanding the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England
- Learning about the water cycle and rivers
- Discovering and exploring new artistic skills in printmaking and collage
- Building an understanding of sound and electricity
By the end of Year 4, we are confident your child will have had an enriching experience which has built on their understanding of key topics and personally developed them as individuals.
Parent Support:
We value the offer of support from parents in any way. Parents have supported the school by hearing children read, volunteering in the classroom & for school trips, helping at whole school events, managing the library, and many other fantastic ways. Additionally, parents have offered their time and specialised skills such as decorating corridors with engaging art displays or building structures for plants in the playground. Furthermore, some parents have purchased equipment and resources through their child’s year group ‘Amazon Wish List’, which you can do here:
Please note, this is not an expectation of parents / carers to do.
In the presentation below is further information that we think parents may find useful but please don’t hesitate to speak to us directly if you would like further details on anything.
