Class 4

Welcome to Class 4

Welcome to Year 4.

Welcome to Year 4!

Mrs Kirkwood is the class teacher with Mr Cornish working closely alongside her to support classroom learning. Throughout the year, we’ll focus on reinforcing prior learning from Year 3 whilst introducing new, more challenging concepts in all of our subjects. We will also work hard to begin to prepare the children for the Multiplication Tables Check that all children in Year 4 have to complete later in the year.

Our work in English will be planned around some exciting class texts to inspire the children to further develop their love for reading. We also have lots of different and exciting learning opportunities planned to develop the children’s knowledge and skills across the range of subjects. Swimming lessons are a key part of the curriculum in Y4, alongside beginning to learn a musical instrument; finding out about life in Roman Britain and the impact of invasions by the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings; and developing knowledge of a variety of science topics through practical and outdoor learning. The children will have fun developing their creativity and understanding in art, DT and computing projects and will continue to build their confidence and language skills in French. They will enjoy linking this learning to finding out more about Europe in geography and can look forward to carrying out some fieldwork activities around Ferryhill. Our RE and PSHE lessons will give children chance to discuss and find out more about different beliefs and ideas to develop values of respect and tolerance and promote physical and mental health.

This is just a taste of some of the learning and activities that the children will enjoy in Year 4. There will be so much more to look forward to as a class, including extra-curricular events for PE and other subjects. Look out for posts about our adventure together on Class Dojo, Facebook and the school website.
