Year 4

This year, our Year 4 classes, the Fabulous Foxes and Learning Lemurs, are continuing their educational journey, diving deep into the National Curriculum with our broad and balanced curriculum linked to a variety of subjects and skills.  

Our young explorers will delve into the world of the Anglo-Saxons, uncovering their settlements, culture, and impact on British history. This historical adventure will not only enhance their understanding of the past but also develop their research skills. Geographical explorations will bring us closer to home as we investigate the locality of Birmingham and how it is set within the wider context of the country.  

A keen sense of place and an understanding of human and physical geography will be developed along with how to read OS maps using 6 figure grid references.  

In addition to History and Geography, the Fabulous Foxes and Learning Lemurs will strengthen their skills across English and Maths, Science, the Arts and sports which are all designed to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning.  

In Year 4 the children will take part in a key assessment called the MTC. The children will be assessed on their ability to rapidly recall timetables facts. Please allow time for children to access TTRS as the soundcheck on there is an accurate representation of what the assessment will entail. 

This year, the Fabulous Foxes and Learning Lemurs will embark on a journey to discover their aspirations and potential future careers.  

Through engaging activities and exploration, we aim to inspire our children to dream big and see the real-world relevance of their studies, setting the foundation for a bright and ambitious future.
