FOURTH CLASS 2025-2026

Welcome to 4th Class!

This year, our class will be working hard to cover the curriculum through a variety of engaging and effective approaches. We believe that learning should be active and enjoyable, so we’ll be using play, hands-on activities, group work, and creative tasks to help children explore and understand new concepts. Our aim is to create a positive, supportive environment where every child can thrive, grow in confidence, and reach their full potential.

🖼️ART🎨

We’ve begun our art curriculum this term with a focus on landscapes, helping children learn how to observe and draw them with accurate proportions. This not only builds foundational drawing skills but also strengthens their attention to detail, spatial awareness, and patience. By learning to see the world more carefully, children develop both their artistic abilities and critical thinking skills—setting them up for success in art and beyond.

➕MATHEMATICS📏

We’ve launched our maths curriculum this term with a focus on number and operations, using a playful, hands-on approach to support learning. Children have been exploring number identification, addition, and multiplication through fun activities like dart board games, which make abstract concepts more engaging and meaningful. This approach helps build confidence, improves mental maths skills, and encourages a positive attitude towards learning maths in an enjoyable and memorable way.

📚HISTORY🕰️

This term, our class has been learning all about the Celts and what life was like in ancient times. To bring our learning to life, we designed and built our very own Celtic village! We researched Celtic homes, clothing, food, and daily life, then worked together to create models of roundhouses, farms, and community spaces. Our village project helped us imagine what it might have been like to live as a Celt and gave us the chance to be creative while learning about history.

🎃HALLOWEEN🧟

As we reached the end of the Halloween half term, our school was filled with excitement and creativity! Pupils enjoyed dressing up in their favourite costumes, taking part in spooky crafts, and joining in with fun Halloween-themed activities. It was a fantastic way to celebrate everyone’s hard work this term and to finish on a high note before the holidays. We wish all our pupils and families a safe, happy, and relaxing half term break!

⌨️TECHNOLOGY🧑‍💻

Technology plays an exciting role in our classroom, especially with the use of iPads! iPads help students learn in fun and interactive ways through educational apps, videos, and games. They make it easier to practice reading, writing, maths, and research skills while encouraging creativity and teamwork. Using iPads also helps students become confident, responsible users of technology as they learn and grow.

⛪RELIGION✝️

Religion is an important part of life in our school. Each day, we begin with prayer and take part in lessons that help us learn about Catholicism, its values, and traditions. We enjoy visiting our local church, which helps strengthen our connection with the parish and builds a strong sense of community. A special highlight of the year is our annual Christmas Nativity, which we proudly perform in the church, bringing pupils, families, and staff together in celebration.

🍕CHRISTMAS PIZZA PARTY🍕

Our class uses a reward system called Dojos to encourage positive behaviour in a fun and motivating way. Through Dojos, pupils are rewarded for showing kindness, respect, responsibility, and teamwork, helping them understand clear expectations and goals. The system builds confidence by recognising effort and achievements while promoting a positive and supportive classroom environment. By working together and making good choices, the class successfully earned a pizza party, which was a well-deserved celebration of their hard work and self-discipline.
