Welcome to Year 4! Our curriculum offers a rich and engaging range of learning experiences, helping children develop their knowledge, creativity, confidence and independence across all areas of learning.

Throughout the year, children explore Ancient Egypt and Farming, Rainforests and the Natural World, and The Romans and Our Local History. They investigate ancient civilisations, compare environments, explore farming and discover the impact of Roman Britain, including Hadrian's Wall.

In English, children develop their reading, comprehension, spelling, grammar and writing through engaging texts, including The Explorer and Escape from Pompeii. In Mathematics, they build confidence in number, calculations, fractions, decimals, developing their problem-solving and reasoning skills. There is also a focus on timetables in preparation for the multiplication check! Science explores states of matter, living things and their habitats, animals including humans, electricity and sound, while computing develops coding, digital creativity and online safety.

Children express their creativity through art, music and design technology, exploring techniques such as printing, mosaics, construction and electrical circuits. Music lessons develop listening, composing and performing skills across a range of styles and instruments.

French lessons introduce vocabulary and conversation through themes including family, school, the local area. Religious education explores Christian beliefs, prayer and celebrations, encouraging reflection and respect. Through PSHE, children learn about relationships, diversity, personal safety, responsibilities and wellbeing, developing resilience, independence and kindness.

Physical education develops coordination, fitness and teamwork through swimming, gymnastics, dance, tennis and handball. Outdoor learning offers practical experiences such as shelter building, navigation, cooking, tool use and first aid.

Families can support their child's progress by reading regularly, practising multiplication tables, encouraging writing and talking about classroom topics.
