Welcome to our Year 4 page
Year 4 is packed full of fun and lots of exciting topics are covered. History is rich with learning about the Vikings, the Greeks and WWII. Unsurprisingly, we make lots of excellent cross-curricular links with these units; these include Greek cooking and WWII-linked Design and Technology.
Our big educational visit in Year 4 is to the Imperial War Museum which makes for a fantastic day. WWII has many links to our local area which helps to bring learning alive. Did you know that Winston Churchill visited the Shoebury Garrison and that many of our brave cockle fishermen went to Dunkirk?
Music in Year 4 is interesting and rather eclectic with subjects ranging from grime to gospel and the Beatles.
In Year 4, the children sit the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) in June. This is a national test which assesses the children’s grasp of the times tables.
