Parson Cross CE Primary School
Welcome to Year 4!
We are a class of 30 wonderful children who all have a true love for learning. Our class teacher is Mr Schofield and our teaching assistant is Miss Cawthorne.
Have a look at what we are getting up to this year!
____________________________________________________
Year 4 is an incredibly exciting year - a year where we are able to grow in confidence through developing our sense of independence. We will strengthen our ability to think independently, make decisions about our own learning and have an awareness of how to handle any situation life throws at us!
For half of the year, we will take part in weekly swimming lessons at Hillsborough Leisure Centre. This opportunity will allow us to work on our confidence in the water, develop basic swimming techniques and most importantly, understand how to be safe in and around the water. In addition to this, we are lucky enough to recieve weekly cornet lessons throughout the year. This opportunity allows us to develop both the physical and mental skills needed to play an instrument as well as understanding what commitment, dedication and practice can achieve.

In Year 4, we believe in ourselves and each other, we know that we can achieve absolutely anything that we put our mind to and most importantly, we celebrate each and every success that we make along the way.

Year 4 - Overview
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In Maths, we aim to ensure children have a secure knowledge of basic arithmetic. It is important that children are confident in both their mental and written calculation skills. Once children have grasped the simple facts, we move forward on to using larger numbers and fractions. Children will also be introduced to new concepts such as decimal numbers, negative numbers and Roman Numerals.
Year 4 is a crucial year for developing the children’s understanding and quick mental recall of multiplication facts. In June, the children will sit the 'National Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check'. This check is fantastic in identifying children who struggle with times tables and require extra support before they move into Year 5. We ensure this test is stress-free by doing regular practice throughout the year to increase confidence and ability.
In English, the children will build key skills in both reading and writing. During Year 4, children will become increasingly confident with their reading as the develop their fluency and expression. We also focus heavily on improving children’s comprehension as they come across new texts and unfamiliar words. Throughout the year, our children will continue to write in various styles and genres using a variety of books to inspire us from 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' by C.S Lewis to 'The Land of Roar' by Jenny McLachlan. Children are also taught a range of spellings and grammatical techniques to advance their skillset and equip them with the skills to produce high-quality writing. As well as this, they will be introduced to more complex punctuation, such as commas, inverted commas and apostrophes which they will practice implementing accurately in their writing.
Finally, children in Year 4 will enjoy many interesting topics in Science, History and Geography. These include: Sound, Electricity, Anglo-Saxons, Ancient Civilisations and Rivers. Children will be immersed in a broad, engaging curriculum and are bound to leave Year 4 with many new skills and memorable experiences.

Year 4 - Spring 1 - William Morris
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
During Spring 1, we will be learning about and be inspired by the work of 'William Morris'. Morris was a highly influential artist whose designs became popular during the 19th Century. His work continues to influence modern life through its use in wallpaper, furniture and stained glass windows. Throughout this topic, we will be learning how to design our nature-inspired prints true to the style of Morris.
