Year 4 2022 - 2023

Welcome to Year 4

Miss Burke  &  Mrs Bowles

'The child grew and became strong in body, mind and spirit.'

At St. Peter’s C.E. in Year 4 we have embedded the COURAGE CURRICULUM into our school ethos, and it is interwoven into all aspects of our school life.

COURAGE: We have promoted our Christian ethos in daily worships and RE lessons. We have looked at the historical importance of our local area.

ORACY: In lessons we have had discussions and debates. We have been able to express our own ideas and opinions.

UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD: We have looked at real life problems in maths lessons. We have attended educational trips to the Catalyst Museum, Tatton Park and Clonter Opera Theatre. These trips have consolidated our learning and give our children real life experiences.

READING: We have been lucky to have a new library this year. Reading has been a big part of our learning. Every Wednesday, Year 4 can swap their books in the library. 

ARTS: We have had opportunities to perform and act in music, PE and art lessons.

GROWTH: All of us in year 4 have experienced the growth mindset learning pit. With perseverance and determination, we have managed to overcome our difficult challenges. Jigsaw lessons and KABS lessons have helped us to grow.

ENQUIRY: We have carried out many enquiries in Year 4. We have completed science enquiries and investigations and made geographical enquiries.

Homework is now on Century Tech. Children should spend a minimum of 30 minutes a week completing nuggets or activities on their recommended pathway. 

Spellings & Times tables tests

The spelling & times tables tests are on a Friday and Autumn Term 2 (2022) can be found as a document on this page.

Reading

Each child has a reading book to bring home. They should read each day and update their reading records. Please listen to your child read and it would be great if you could ask him/her questions to support comprehension.
