Welcome to Year 4

The Year 4 team are really excited to be working with you and your child this year as we continue their journey of learning and growth.

By the time children join us in Year 4, they are already familiar with the routines and expectations of the Junior School. Our focus is to build on this strong foundation, helping them grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity. 

We aim to create a curriculum that is both enjoyable and inspiring, where children can have fun while recognising the importance of their learning. Building on all the hard work of the Year 3 team, we also prepare them for the exciting challenges that lie ahead in Years 5 and 6. Learning in Year 4 is hands-on, varied, and imaginative. Children are encouraged to think independently but also have many opportunities to collaborate and learn together.

You can keep up to date with all the exciting activities and events happening in Year 4 by visiting our school Twitter page: St Laurence Church Junior School (@StLaurenceJnr) / X

Our Year 4 teaching team is:

• Mrs Durose (4D Class Teacher & Year Leader)

• Mrs Hemming (4H Class Teacher)

• Miss Williams (4W Class Teacher)

• Mrs Earp (Teaching Assistant)

•  

We are very much looking forward to a wonderful year ahead, working together with you and your children.

Year 4 2023-24

We travelled by train into Birmingham City Centre to visit Singers Hill Synagogue. We learnt about what happens in this beautiful place of worship, when services take place and how Jewish people worship.

We made chromatography flowers whilst learning about the 'Poison Garden' in Alnwick. In our quiz, we identified different flowers, learnt about where they are found and what they are used for.

During our Italian Inspiration Day, we ate Italian food, learnt some Italian words and even chose an Italian car for our ‘tour around Italy’.
