Year 4 is an exceptionally exciting year in students’ primary journey; it is usually the year that children become fully independent learners and their personalities truly begin to flourish. Our key texts grow in complexity as the children progress and expose children to a wide range of authors and genres; from the mysterious descriptions of ‘The Iron Man’ to the cultural diversity represented in the tales of ‘A Thousand and One Arabian Nights’. Our books engage and inspire our children to become life-long readers.
In Year 4 we begin to tackle more mature themes, such as ‘deforestation’ and ‘socio-economic discrepancies between settlements’ in Geography. These always generate some fascinating and engaging debates! Without a doubt, a highlight of the Year 4 experience is our overnight residential trip to Hooke Court. On this trip children are able to take risks, work as part of a team and achieve feats they never thought possible. Year 4 represents the bridge to upper Key Stage 2 and through our knowledge-rich curriculum, inspiring activities and dedicated staff team, we truly believe we are setting up students with the best possible chance of success both in their education and wider life.
