Welcome to Year 4 - Mount Merapi. Here you will find all of the relevant information about your child's experience in Year 4.
Welcome to year 4 - a time for you to really establish yourself in Key Stage 2! This year will be filled with exciting challenges and chances to push yourself and learn new things. Miss McDaid and Mrs Cooper are our classroom teaching assistants this year. Together with the children we promote a hard-working, enthusiastic classroom environment that welcomes all children to learn fun and exciting new topics.
From swimming lessons to the times tables test, school trips, visitors in, play leaders and school council there's a place for everyone to shine this year.
As well as participating in the academic side of school, you'll also have the opportunity to have a role in the classroom where you will feel like you're really contributing to the class. We look forward to working hard with you in Year 4!
We'll also be looking at the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Volcanoes and use these as a stimulus to write story settings, newspaper reports and non-chronological reports.
In Maths, we will study a range of new skills from division and multiplication to geometry and perimeter with a focus on developing mastery of written methods. We will be working exceptionally hard on our arithmetic and especially on our quick recall of times tables.
Guided reading takes place in our classroom every day where we explore Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach, Butterfly lion, The Firework Makers Daughter, Beowolf and the Animals of Farthing Wood. We will also be enjoying a mixture of classic and new authors in storytime with How to train your dragon, A boy and his Dog and The Boy at the Back of the Class.
We are a unique bunch and we have fun learning every day!
