Welcome to Year 4. During this year, we hope the children will enjoy developing their knowledge and learn lots of new skills. We always encourage the children to aim high and challenge themselves. In Year 4, there is an emphasis on learning the times tables because of the National test in the Summer Term. This year's highlights usually include French Day, a visit from the Life Education team, the Lancaster Schools' Music Festival, a river's trip, a Greek workshop and Intra-sports.
Use the drop-down menu on the left-hand side to find our class blog. It contains lots of information about what has been going on in Year 4.
In each of the sections below, you will find information about what we are learning each term. Please note that updates will be added as each new term begins.
