This is a year in which teachers nurture and encourage feelings of independent thinking, learning and decision-making. Home assignments become more common at this stage helping students practice & reinforce what they learn in the class. This stage is important for the development of social skills and emotional intelligence. They learn to work in groups, collaborate & build friendships. The School offers an array of extracurricular activities such as sports, horse riding, creative arts to provide a well-rounded education.

Critical time in a child’s education, where they build upon the foundational skills learned in earlier years and prepare for advanced academic challenges as they progress through the education process.

The wider curriculum

There are some great science topics that children love. Fun and engaging history and geography topics are also taught this year. These are the subjects that fire the imagination and that children remember.

In Maths and English, the teachers will be aiming to ensure that your child knows and understands particular key skills. Application of concepts is important and co-relating them is taught.

Overall, perhaps the single most important aspect of this year is children’s increasing independence and confidence in what they can achieve at school. Your child will be encouraged to start to think about their learning. They need to make decisions on how to present work, how and when to complete homework, and how to learn best.

Year 4 is also often the year that children earn their ‘pen license’ – that transition in writing which will stay with the child for the rest of his life. This in deed  is  challenging  for few children whose handwriting is not the neatest. It is good to have something to aim for and often raises the profile of handwriting.

However, don’t worry if your child is not writing with a pen straight away. They will get there eventually!

This year is a year of hard work and dedication towards academics and introspection. A year to start the preparations for the transition to secondary school. This is often a year when children grow in maturity.

They gain greater independence and confidence from being given more responsibility in their learning.
