What makes our Year 4 special?

Welcome to our wonderful year 4! In our year group, we bring enthusiasm and entertainment as well as providing a safe environment, where your child will find a true love for learning! Year 4 is full of aspiration; energy and our primary aim is to empower pupils on their journey to becoming confident and independent life-long learners. No two days are the same in our year group. You will find a year group full of hard-workers, deep-divers and innovators! We ensure that we have fun on our learning journey by providing pupils with memorable learning experiences that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Mr Derbyshire, Mrs Doyle and the awesome year 4 team promise to do everything in their power to support pupils and their families, each and every day. We encourage pupils to embody our core values and maximise their potential! Both 4D and 4J are safe and innovative learning environments, where your child will receive the best possible education we have to offer. We will encourage and motivate every child to succeed, as well as equipping them with fundamental life skills needed to reach their own hopes and dreams in life. Teamwork, respect and friendship are at the heart of our classrooms!

No day is the same in our year group. Your child is provided with a creative and exhilarating learning experience, full of practical and inclusive lessons. In year 4, we aim to sculpt each child into becoming lesson-loving, classroom-cherishing and school-succeeding learners, who will develop the skills to independently tackle any problem placed in front of them! They will enter a supportive and connected environment in which they feel safe, and they will be provided with the opportunity to dive deep into a number of exciting and stimulating topics!

Throughout the year we will be exploring many interesting topics. Science topics will allow us to investigate the power of Electricity, with opportunities to construct our own circuits. If that’s not enough, we will also uncover the wonderful world of living things and their habitats. If that doesn’t excite you then hop aboard the year 4 time machine, as we travel back thousands of years to a time when pharaohs ruled and pyramids were built in fascinating Ancient Egypt. Thirsty for more? Our Geography topics of Rivers and the Water Cycle provide all the water you need to dive head first on a geographical adventure around the world. These are just some of the many amazing topics we will study in year 4!
