Welcome to Year 4!
In Year 4, we continue to have a huge focus on developing children as lifelong readers, who are exposed to a vast range of quality fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts which are weaved throughout our whole curriculum. We want our children to love learning and Year 4 is a great opportunity for them to build on the skills and independence that they have developed in previous years at our school whilst still having lots of fun!
Alongside the core subjects of English, maths and reading, we teach a broad range of engaging subjects that our classes love and which encourage children to be curious about the world around them, whether that’s exploring volcanoes, and experimenting with electrical circuits or designing a functional and attractive phone case! We also want the children in our care to be happy and have a positive experience of school, where they learn lots whilst feeling safe and happy.
Some of the topics covered over the course of the academic year are:
Autumn
- The Roman Empire
- Volcanoes
- Electricity
Spring
- The impact of the Roman Empire on Britain and the Anglo-Saxons
- Coastlines
- Classifying living things and food chains.
Summer
- The Vikings
- Energy – How do we get our power?
- Sound
If you have any further queries or questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you,
The Year 4 team
