Numeracy Day 2026

To celebrate Numeracy Day, the children participated in a live event hosted by TTRS. During the session, they were given the opportunity to develop their oracy skills through engaging discussions based on a range of “Would You Rather?” questions with a mathematical focus, encouraging them to articulate their reasoning and justify their choices confidently.

Ancient Egyptian Diary

As part of their study of Ancient Egypt, Year 4 explored the significance of the River Nile and the annual flooding that provided fertile soil for growing crops. In English, the children applied their historical knowledge by writing diary entries from the perspective of an Ancient Egyptian farmer, describing their experiences on the day of the flood.

Class 4 - Summer 2026

Welcome back. I hope you have all had a good Easter. I am looking forward to working with the children and am excited for the term ahead. Starting with history in the first half term, Year 4 are looking at Ancient Egyptian time, where they will be looking at civilisation, gods and goddesses, inventions and the importance of the River Nile.

This promises to be an exciting term. Below are copies of the letter to parents, Curriculum Web and optional homework grid. 

Thank you for your continued support and keep an eye on the blog for regular updates.
