Year 4
Welcome to Year 4!
Welcome to our class page.
Year 4 is taught by Mrs Woodstock and Miss Hussain with the support of Mrs Hibbert. Mrs Woodstock will be teaching the class on Mondays and Tuesdays. On Wednesdays, both Mrs Woodstock and Miss Hussain will work together. Thursday mornings will be covered by Ms. Kehoe, allowing us time for planning and preparation, while Miss Hussain will take over for the remainder of the week. We are delighted to be assisted by Mrs Hibbert full-time, providing support to individuals and groups throughout the week.
If you have any concerns or questions, please arrange a meeting with us via the office, where either of us will give you a call or arrange a meeting with you. Additionally, we are available for a quick chat on the playground most days after school. Alternatively, you can write a message in your child’s reading diary and ask your child to show us.
Kind regards
Mrs Woodstock and Miss Hussain

Yr 4 Spring Term Highlights
Religious Education
English
This term our focused text was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and then linked our learning to our geographical topic, Rivers.
Children planned, wrote and edited their narrative writing.
Pupils were able to show their creativity by creating posters with the intent to persuade.
To interlink learning, pupils were given the fantastic opportunity to create brochures and look into the poem The River by Valerie Bloom, which was later used by pupils as inspiration to write their own poems.
Maths
In maths, we looked at mixed fractions.
As well as interpreting discrete and continuous data, we collected our own discrete data and presented this in bar charts.
Science
This term, pupils investigated the different properties of solids, liquids and gases. Children also looked at the process of melting, freezing, evaporating and condensing.
We also explored sound and vibration, where pupils had the opportunity to further strengthen their understanding by exploring varied instruments.
Geography
Geography this term entailed a rich topic of rivers.
Pupils were also able to explore the Rye where pupils looked at the Dyke, the Greenland and natural habitats for animals. Pupils were also able to explore how rivers were used by locals from the area.
