Year 4

Welcome

Welcome to Year 4! This year, your child will be taught by Mr. Barrett and Mr. Lloyd. As we continue through Key Stage 2, pupils will further develop their skills across the full range of National Curriculum subjects, including English, Maths, Science, and the foundation subjects.

During the Summer term, children in Year 4 will take the statutory Multiplication Tables Check, which tests their fluency in times tables up to 12 × 12. Regular practice at home is a great way to help them feel confident and prepared. Reading regularly and discussing books at home also supports learning across the curriculum. We’re looking forward to a brilliant year of progress and achievement!

Our Class Saint: St. Maximillian Kolbe

Our Class Saint is St. Maximilian Kolbe. He gave his life to save another person and showed great courage and love. He is the patron saint of prisoners and families. His feast day is 14th August, and his life teaches us the Catholic Social Teaching of ‘Life and Dignity of the Human Person’ by reminding us that every life is precious and worth protecting.

What will my child be learning in Year 4?

PE Days

PE days in Year 4 are on Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure your child is in the correct uniform on these days.

During Summer 1, Year 4 will be having swimming lessons at Ladywood Swimming Baths. It is important for children to develop confidence in the water, as a key expectation is that by the end of Year 6 they should be able to swim 25 metres.
