Year 4
“Deepening Knowledge and Skills”
In Year 4, pupils strengthen their knowledge and skills across the curriculum. Through rich texts such as Christophe’s Story and The Iron Man, they explore powerful language, character and imagination in their writing. Science covers digestion, electricity, sound, habitats and states of matter, with plenty of opportunities for investigation and problem-solving. History spans the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and the Maya, while geography explores food production, rainforests and rivers. Art, DT and music provide opportunities for creativity and expression, and PE builds confidence in games, athletics and dance. Children grow in responsibility, enquiry and independence as they deepen their understanding of the world.
