Welcome to Year 4 / 5 !
The year 4 and 5 classes are led by Robbie Fortune and Clare Porter. The staff have the highest expectations for the children and will be supporting them to reach their full potential. The positive learning environments developed by the year 4 and 5 staff will encourage children to maximise their potential and to become thoughtful, independent learners. |

As well as focusing on academic progress, the children will be encouraged to develop their personal skills. Resilience, respectfulness, responsibility and being able to reflect are key personal qualities that the staff will support children with. There will be opportunities for the children to excel academically and through other sporting, artistic and musical activities.
Curriculum
In year 4 and 5, the children follow the National Curriculum. English sessions are taught through the Power of Reading approach. Children's reading and writing will develop through reading and responding to high quality texts. Children will also experience drama, poetry and art through the Power of Reading texts. Maths sessions follow the White Rose Maths teaching sequences and progressions. Mastery of maths through practical, pictorial and abstract experiences will ensure children have the deepest understanding possible.

Our foundation subjects (geography, history, science etc) are taught through the Cornerstones curriculum. This topic themed approach ensures children cover the National Curriculum through a broad range of exciting and progressive learning activities.
Children read for 30 minutes daily and their reading progress is tracked through the Accelerated Reader software. After reading a text that's suitably challenging, the children take quizzes to check their understanding of the book they've read. The software then recommends a new, suitable book for them.
