In Year 4, we focus on developing children's independence and resilience. Our lessons are to engage and encourage the children to develop their own interests and feel a sense of confidence and achievement in their learning. We strive to create an environment where the children are excited to come to school and feel safe and nurtured during their time with us.
Every day, we start with early morning work which is followed by Spelling or Handwriting practice. Maths, Literacy and Guided Reading are taught every day, RE is taught on a Friday. Our afternoons are spent working on Science, Topic, Art and D/T, PSHE, Computing and Music.

The Dog's Trust visited the school and taught the children how to be a Dog's Best Friend. The children made promises to their own and other dogs at the end of the session.
Today the children enjoyed an Egyptian Theme Day. They learnt about Egyptian writing and numbers and had a go at some activities. They then acted out mummification and completed some writing. In the afternoon they had a go at making some collages of Ancient Egypt.
Children had a visit from Wareham Waste Dump to talk about food waste. They learnt about electricity being made from food waste and what they could recycle food wise. They completed a wordsearch and a quiz.
