Overview
In Year 4 there are three classes. The pupils’ timetable is structured as follows: spellings, maths, following the White Rose planning scheme; and English, which is based on fiction and non-fiction texts linked to our topic themes. Reading Masters lessons are based on Schofield and Sims lessons which include a variety of genres where we encourage children to explore vocabulary, use inference, make predictions, explain, develop retrieval skills and summarise events. The wider curriculum subjects are taught either discretely or through a whole school creative and connective approach.
