Welcome to Owl Class

Our Year 4 team : Mrs Casewell (Mon - Thurs) Mrs Hollands (Fri) supported by Mrs Reynolds (Mon and Tues) and Mrs Thompson (Weds-Fri)

In Year 4, we consolidate and build upon the children's knowledge and skills learnt in Year 3. Our goal is to support the children in acquiring greater independence and resilience, take increased responsibility and develop self-motivation over the year, as we prepare them for Upper Key Stage 2.  

On our class webpage you will find our Yearly Overview which outlines our topics. Each term, a new curriculum map will become available to inform you about what we will be learning. Further down the page, you'll find the current spelling booklets as well as some useful websites that you can use to support your child's learning at home or for them to extend their knowledge further through independent study. 

The Year 4 Team look forward to working with you to ensure that your child has a happy and successful year.

Thank you for your continued support at home.

Geography: Are all settlements the same?

In Geography we will be exploring our local area and how land is used as well as changes over time. We will develop skills in reading maps, looking at OS symbols and legends. We will make comparisons between where we live and New Delhi looking at both physical and human features and how they impact peoples' decisions on where to live.
