We are Willow Class (taught by Mrs Giles and Mrs Humble) and Alder Class (taught by Mr Hardwick). Our wonderful LSAs are Mrs Single-Bloom and Miss Iles!
Year 4 is an exciting time in your primary school journey, full of fascinating topics and projects for us to get stuck into! We are here to help you along the way, as you learn more about the world around you and participate in lots of experiences to enrich your school year.
On this page, we will share photos and news of our learning in school, as well as important information including spelling lists and curriculum newsletters.
As always, please get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.

Welcome to term 3! This term we will be having on focus on sustainability: what does it mean, what does it mean to live sustainably and how can we be better stewards of our world? In keeping with this focus, we will be exploring the excellent book ‘The Wild Robot’ by Peter Brown in English lessons, and finding out all about electricity and circuits in science. DT will also see us applying this learning as we attempt to create our very own battery-powered torches.
For further details about the year 4 curriculum in term 3, please see our Sway newsletter – Term 3

Megacities are cities whose population exceeds approximately 10 million people, and they can be found all over the world – though we did discover that there are obviously none on the continent of Antarctica, nor Australia which surprised us!
Please see below some examples of the work we undertook during the term…
