Welcome to Year 4

Mrs Bebbington & Miss Butt

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

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

CULTURE: We promote our Christian ethos in daily worships and RE lessons. We look at the historical importance of our local area.

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

UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD: We look at real life problems in maths lessons. We attend educational trips which consolidate our learning and give our children real life experiences.

READING: We have been lucky to have a new library this year. Reading is a big part of our learning. The children can swap their books in the library, each week.

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

GROWTH: All of us in year 4 experience the growth mindset learning pit. With perseverance and determination, we manage to overcome our difficult challenges. Jigsaw lessons help us to grow.

ENQUIRY: We carry out many enquiries in Year 4. We complete science enquiries and investigations and make geographical enquiries.

In English, we will begin the term with a Poetry unit based on Roger McGough's The Lost Lost-Property Office. We will then move on to our writing unit using Leon and the Place Between by Grahame Baker Smith and Angela McAllister.

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 them questions to support comprehension.

P.E.

P.E. will continue to be on a Friday, please send your child in wearing their P.E. kit. This half term we will be focusing on gymnastics.
