Year 4
Welcome to the wonderful world of Year 4
The children will enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum with a focus on embedding learning from last year as well as mastering the Year 4 curriculum.
Year 4 will further develop independent thinking, learning and decision-making. The children are familiar with the routines and expectations of the school and so Year 4 is about deepening their understanding of the curriculum, themselves and their emotions.
We want all children in Year 4 to feel empowered and to know that the possibilities in life are infinite. We encourage a growth-mindset attitude to learning with children working towards becoming independent learners as they gain more responsibility through self-marking, home learning and leadership roles within the class.

Module 1: Created and Loved by God
LKS2 Module One: Created and Loved by God explores the individual. Rooted in the teaching that we are made in the image and likeness of God, it helps children to develop an understanding of the importance of valuing themselves as the basis for personal relationships.
Module 2: Created to Love Others
LKS2 Module 2: Created to Love Others explores the individual’s relationship with others. Building on the understanding that we have been created out of love and for love, this module explores how we take this calling into our family, friendships and relationships, and teaches strategies for developing healthy relationships and keeping safe both online and in our daily lives.
Module 3: Created to Live in Community
LKS2 Module Three: Created to Live in Community explores the individual’s relationship with the wider world. Here we explore how human beings are relational by nature and are called to love others in the wider community through service, through dialogue and through working for the Common Good. In Life to the Full Plus, further exploration of careers and money lead to understanding that true happiness comes from knowing God’s love and finding our identity and worth in Him.
