Year 4
Our year 4 curriculum is designed so that children at home and children at school are receiving the same learning opportunities, ensuring equality of provision. Our paper packs also provide the same learning opportunities. Bespoke work is provided for all children at 3 different levels (support, for all and challenge) where appropriate. Our online learning platform also provides differentiated work for children with additional needs and bespoke paper packs are also provided for children unable to access this platform.
Every morning we hold an online registration, which we allows us to provide some teaching input around the learning for that day. To support the learning further, we use a combination of commercially produced videos, such as Oak Academy, and videos made by the class teachers for the core subjects, and other subject areas as appropriate. We also provide guidance documents if required.
To promote our focus on reading we have a Teams meeting daily for the class teacher to read to the children, we set a daily speed read in addition to the shared reading task, and encourage the children to use MyOn as well as reading their own books daily. The children are also expected to practise times tables using TTrockstars, and practise spellings using Edshed on a daily basis. We also set daily differentiated arithmetic practice for all children to keep these skills sharp.
Parents and children can contact us for support through class dojo, and parents can call us at school. We acknowledge that this is a difficult time for the children and adults, and will do everything we can to make learning accessible, achievable and enjoyable for all.
