Year 4
Our Teacher is Mrs Brodie,
Our Teaching Partners are Miss Eustice and Mrs Hageman
Welcome to our Year 4 page! Come and take a look at some of the fascinating learning experiences your children will be enjoying this year.
In spring, we will be exploring the Ancient Maya in history, investigating the life and society of the ancient civilisation. We will investigate how archaeologists use evidence to find out about the past and build on our knowledge of the Maya by examining key archaeological discoveries.
In geography, we will explore how rivers are formed and the journey of a river from source to mouth. We will also look at the effects of river pollution and consider the different ways that we can help!
Science lessons will be full of hands-on discovery as we investigate electricity, constructing our own simple series circuits and identifying and naming its parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers!
We will use our learning about electricity to design and create illuminated signs in DT, whilst in art, we will be using a mixture of techniques such as drawing, painting and sketching to explore landscape art.
In PE, the children will be developing their balance and coordination through gymnastics, helping to build both skill and confidence.
Please head to our school Instagram page to see more of our learning in action!

Growth Mindset
Growth mindset is about having a positive attitude and supports being a successful learner.
Showing a growth mindset helps us face challenges, overcome failure and
be resilient. At WCP we celebrate mistakes in all subjects as we know that that can be the first attempt in learning. We discuss how our
learning behaviours contribute to be successful in school and relate this to
future ambitions. Each term we focus on a particular learning behaviour
that is linked to growth mindset and certificates are awarded to children who show these learning behaviours in school.
