Oaklands Primary Academy

Year 4 is an exciting year which looks to develop the children’s independence and challenge the children to reach their full potential. The children are now role models for younger children in the school and are therefore expected to demonstrate the correct attitude, work ethic and behaviour in everything that they do. The development of independence is supported with the lower school prefect roles and the thought-provoking activities that are set throughout each subject area.

The children’s knowledge and skills are developed through our fascinating and inspiring IPC topics. ‘Chocolate’ opens the children’s eyes to how one of our favourite food stuffs are produced and also the history and geography of where and when chocolate comes from.  Our ‘Active Planet’ topic gives them an insight into the geography and science of hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes in a hugely fun and active way. Finally our ‘Tombs and Treasure’ topic in the summer term explores the Egyptians in a very creative way, beginning with our entry point where the children will be archaeologists exploring tombs for treasured artefacts.

We believe that the knowledge, skills and experiences that the children gain throughout Year 4 provide them with the perfect foundations for life in the upper school and a great opportunity for children to go on to fulfil their full potential.
