Welcome to Year 4

The Year 4 team are looking forward to working with you to help your child to learn and grow this year.

By the time your children join us they are familiar with the routines and expectations of the Junior School.

In Year 4 we aim to provide an enjoyable and interesting curriculum where the children have fun but also see the importance of learning. We build on all the hard work of the Year 3 teachers and continue to prepare them for the challenges in Year 5 and 6.

Our aim is to ensure that the children enjoy their learning through practical activities which are varied and imaginative. We encourage independence although they are given opportunities to work with others.

The teaching staff are: Mrs Durose (4D and Year Leader), Mrs Hemming (4H Class Teacher) and Miss Williams and Mrs Camwell (4W Class Teacher), Mrs Jones, Mr Ade and Mr Cooke (Teaching Assistants).

We look forward to working with you and your children this year.

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’.
