Class 4

Welcome to Year 4,

Mrs Thomas, Mrs Medlin and Mrs Garland warmly welcome you into Class 4.

As a class team, we are always supporting each other to strive to ‘Be the best we can be’.

In Year 4 all kinds of exciting learning takes place, covering subjects such as the Vikings, alongside digestion and electricity. We learn about the local heritage of our lovely village, Mylor Bridge and topics further afield such as the rainforest and South America. A particular focus in maths this year is knowing all of our times tables and we work hard to make learning these fun, with songs and games. English continues to build on learning from Year 3. Examples of what the children will be writing are diaries, defeating a monster stories, a newspaper report, persuasive writing and poetry.

In Year 4 we pride ourselves on working alongside our community to support our learning and will continue this with visits to the church and receiving visitors to enrich our learning. We are very lucky to be located in a beautiful village. Class 4 is known for our many exciting outings and trips! One of the trips we always look forward to, is the St Piran’s day parade in March. Everyone wears colours of the St Piran's flag and we dance around Falmouth which is great fun! We have a residential trip in September, will be learning to play brass instruments and of course- excitingly, we learn to sail on the beautiful Helford River- a real hi-light of Class 4!

What to expect in Year 4

Year 4 is a special year group where the children continue to take more control of their own learning and continue to develop Resilience, Resourcefulness, Relationships and Reflection skills- our 4 R's!

We provide opportunities for children to develop their own skills but, more importantly, there is the chance for children to develop their collaborative skills to become strong team members who are able to support each other in their learning.

Reading

Please encourage your child to read aloud to an adult, as well as start to read independently. Your child will bring home reading books and of course, they can also read books you have at home.

Children should be encouraged to talk to adults about the books they are reading; discuss reading choices and features of the book. It is also great to read books by the same author and compare the similarities and differences.
