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.

In Year 4, children will build:

A love for themselves and others.

The courage to try new things and keep going, no matter what!

Hope for the future.

​​​​​​​Faith in who they are, inspired by our school’s Christian vision.

Autumn 2: “Change Is All Around Us!”

This half term, Year 4 are diving into our exciting new concept — CHANGE! We’ll be exploring how our choices and actions can make a difference to the world around us, both big and small. Inspired by our class reader, The Land of Roar by Jenny McLachlan, we’ll be thinking about imagination, teamwork, and how even the smallest acts can help create a brighter future. Our big question is: How can we change our actions now to change our future for the best?

In our learning, we’ll be investigating change in lots of ways! In Science, we’ll discover the amazing journey of food through our bodies as we explore the digestive system (with some fun experiments along the way!). In Geography, we’ll travel the globe to learn about different countries and how the world is connected. We’ll also become courageous advocates by using our persuasive voices to support Fairtrade, finding out how small changes in how we shop can make a big difference for people across the world.

Our creative side will shine too! In Art, we’ll be inspired by William Morris as we explore texture and pattern. In Music, we’ll be playing the glockenspiel, and in PE, we’ll be perfecting our hockey and dance skills. Throughout it all, we’ll be learning how change can bring new challenges and opportunities - and how we can embrace it with courage and kindness! 

We can’t wait to see how our learning, creativity and teamwork help us be the change this term!
