Year 4 2021 - 2022

Welcome to Year 4. 

The Staff ensure that there are regular routines for the class and that the children play an active role within these routines.

We have used the PATHS teaching to agree and adopt our indoor and outdoor rules and have signed these as part of our Class Charter. The class are now using the PATHS strategies for recognisng and managing their emotions and dealing with conflicts during unstructured times. The PATHS Problem box and the Worry Box are now used very effectively. We also use the Secret Friend model and House Point spotters to encourage kindness with our class.

Our Curriculum- At Garswood Primary we strive to provide an innovative and diverse curriculum and ensure that the children experience a broad, balanced, exciting learning experience. We follow the National Curriculum 2014 which was made statutory from September 2014  and as a whole school team we have developed our curriculum intent: to provide children with a rich array of opportunity to learn a deep body of knowledge and vocabulary, always building on their prior knowledge. We have thought carefully about each subect and at the start of each topic we are recapping prior knowledge and establsihing any gaps before commencing new learning. 

The Y4 class will also have enrichment activities this year including learning how to play the guitar and the opportunity to learn a brass instruement. 

We have a planned a series of activities and trips to further support the learning and development of our children including a Chester Roman experience, supporting our local church and their Dementia Cafe and a PGL trip later in the year.
