VALUES DRIVEN LEARNING

Please find below an overview of year four’s curriculum for 2024/25

At Litherland Moss we have a values driven approach to learning. Below is the ‘Rainbow Pathway’ for our current curriculum focus.

Geography- Global Caretakers

We are learning about the Earth's climate zones and biomes and discussing how we can care for our planet. 

Science - Classification

We are learning about how we can sort living things by their similarities. We are learning about animals and sorting vertebrates and invertebrates. 

Art- Drawing and Sketching 

We are experimenting with different pencil types and how to draw accurately. 

PE- Cricket 

Class Novel

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White 

This is the tale of how a little girl named Fern, with the help of a friendly spider, saved her pig, Wilbur, from the usual fate of nice fat little pigs.

TimesTables

In Year 4, we work very hard to learn our timestables. These are assessed at the end of the year. Please practice these as often as you can. Memorising timetables strengthens our ability to perform mental maths. Timestables are important for completing standardised tests, like SATS, in a timely manner.
