Welcome to Year 4
Class teachers: Miss Edwards & Mrs Sellars
A very warm welcome to Year 4 at Kirkby and Great Broughton Primary School!
As we begin another exciting year of learning, our school ethos continues to guide everything we do:
Shine within ourselves Shine for our community Shine out to the world
Together, we light the way for others.
Year 4 is a wonderful opportunity for the children to become even more confident, independent and curious learners. We encourage everyone to have a go, ask questions, learn from mistakes and celebrate their achievements along the way.
This year, our History and Geography learning will take us on some fascinating journeys. We will explore a range of topics and investigate some big questions, including:
· Were the Vikings raiders, traders or settlers?
· What was life like in Tudor England?
· What did the Ancient Greeks ever do for us?
· How is our country changing?
· What are rivers and how are they used?
· Can you come on a Great American Road Trip?
We will also explore some important questions through our Religious Education learning, including:
· What kind of world did Jesus want?
· What is the Trinity?
· Why do Christians call the day Jesus died Good Friday?
· What does it mean to be a Hindu in Britain today?
· What does it mean if God is holy and loving?
· What are the meanings of festivals?
Year 4 brings new challenges and increased responsibility. The children will be encouraged to take greater ownership of their learning, develop their organisation skills and produce work that they can be proud of. They will also continue to be positive role
models within our school community and show younger children what it means to be kind, respectful and responsible.
Our classroom is a place where everyone belongs. We value friendship, kindness and teamwork, and we want every child to feel confident to be themselves. We look after one another, listen to different ideas and treat others with care and respect. We also understand the importance of looking after our school, our local community and the wider world.
There is so much to look forward to in Year 4, and we hope it will be a year full of discovery, creativity, laughter and memorable experiences. We love sharing what we get up to with our families through Seesaw, so you can join us in celebrating the children's learning and achievements throughout the year.
We can't wait to see what adventures Year 4 will bring!
Thank you,
Miss Edwards and Mrs Sellars
