Welcome to Gauguin - Year 4!

Year 4 is going to be our adventure - where learning is fun, friends are heroes and every day sparks a new surprise!

In our positive and exciting Year 4 classroom, Miss Armstrong will be leading the learning adventure, supported by Mrs King, who will be working with all the children, along with the fantastic help of Mrs Nevitt and Mrs Sewell. This year promises to be full of fun, discovery, and new challenges as we grow together.

This half term in Year 4, our learning is guided by the powerful concept of Wisdom. Through thoughtful discussions, exciting investigations and creative projects, children will explore how wisdom helps us make good choices and have a positive impact on the world around us. Our class reader, The Wild Robot, will inspire deep thinking about kindness, resilience and learning from experience.

We’ll be asking big questions and sharing ideas as we dive into Philosophy for Children, explore stories from the Bible and the Torah, and think about how wisdom can guide our actions online and in everyday life. In Science, children will spark their curiosity by investigating electricity and circuits, while Geography takes us on a dramatic journey to discover volcanoes around the world, with plenty of opportunities for models and creativity.

Our creative talents will flourish too - from detailed William Morris inspired artwork to making music together on the ukulele. In PE, teamwork and skill-building take centre stage through football and gymnastics, and in French, we’ll be chatting about family and pets.

This half term is all about growing thoughtful, confident learners who enjoy asking questions, being creative and using their wisdom to make a difference - we can’t wait to see where their learning takes them!
