In Year 4, the children will enhance their knowledge and develop a wide variety of skills by participating in interesting and engaging lessons across the curriculum. Although all our different subjects are taught discretely, we strive to make connections across the curriculum wherever possible to further enrich the children's learning opportunities. Further details about what the children will be learning can be found in our Annual Framework and Termly Curriculum Overview documents in the downloads area below. We are committed to fostering children’s compassion, curiosity, and confidence across all areas of our curriculum!

This year in Year 4, the children are required to complete 10 minutes Times Tables Rockstars  each week. We also encourage all children to practise their targeted times tables and read regularly at home. We recommend at least 10 minutes each night reading with an adult, as daily practise really does make a huge difference to reading and writing ability, as does talking about what has been read with someone at home too. Please remember to sign your child's home/school diary once reading has taken place and ensure your child brings their reading book back to school every day.

RWI Spellings are given out and tested every two weeks, this comprises 6 spellings with a focus we have been learning in our RWI lessons.

P.E. will take place on Wednesday and Games on a Thursday in Year Four and the children will come to school dressed in their P.E. kits on those days in order to preserve precious learning time. The correct PE kit consists of: a white t-shirt, navy shorts and plimsolls for indoor sports. Trainers are requested for outdoor activities and a plain navy blue tracksuit for outdoor activities is advisable when the weather is colder. After the February half term, we will be going to the Meres Leisure Centre for swimming lessons. Please ensure your child has a swimming cap and swimming trunks, if they are a boy, or a one-piece swimming costume if they are a girl.
