Welcome to Year 4!
Our teachers are Miss Burland (4B) and Mrs Dyke and Mrs Swales (4DS) and our teaching assistant is Mrs Caborn.
Our inspirational characters are Jane Goodall (4B) and David Attenborough (4DS)
Throughout Year 4, we aim to create the opportunity for all children to immerse themselves fully into Key Stage Two and the exciting challenges that it brings! After successfully transitioning into Key Stage Two, the children now understand their role as independent learners within school. The wellbeing and happiness of our children always remains at the forefront of everything we do. Our first week in the Autumn term will be focused on wellbeing and expressing emotions. This will then be underpinned by our weekly ‘Jigsaw’ PSHE lessons.
We have high expectations both pastorally and academically, working hard to master key skills such as: self-organisation and time management to become life long learners, in our true Silverhill style – ‘being yourself’.
Teaching and learning does not stand still! We are constantly striving to excite, challenge and motivate our pupils, particularly through our three ‘Theme’ topics’ (‘Living Things and Their Habitats, All Things British and The Anglo-Saxons). The content and rigour of our Year Four curriculum raises expectations and inspires our pupils to achieve the very best they can, in a fun and imaginative way! We enjoy bringing learning to life and immersing the children in real-life experiences as much as we can. This includes our extremely exciting residential trip to London!
