There are 30 children in class four aged between eight and nine. The children cover a wide range of topics across the year which run across several areas of the curriculum.

In the Autumn term, Henry VIII and the Tudors form the basis of our work on historical stories and newspapers in literacy. Interviews with Henry VIII and work on word-processing skills and formatting in ICT all come together to produce our own newspaper, The Tudor Gazette.

In the Spring term, science topics include a unit on moving and growing in which children learn about how the skeleton is related to movement and support. Children enjoy the opportunity to measure their own bones and to compare their length with those of others in their family. Making measurements and recording and presenting their findings helps to reinforce work done in numeracy on measurement and data handling.

In the busy Summer term, children look forward to a variety of learning opportunities both indoors and outdoors. From improving their skills on the athletics track and exploring habitats, to studying about life in India and learning about the Anglo-Saxons, pupils enjoy the wide-ranging possibilities that the curriculum offers.
