Year 4 2026 'Meet the teachers and welcome' presentation
English
The bold story of Katherine Johnson, an African-American mathematician who worked for NASA during the space race and was depicted in the film Hidden Figures.
You''ve likely heard of the historic Apollo 13 moon landing. But do you know about the mathematical genius who made sure that Apollo 13 returned safely home?
As a child, Katherine Johnson loved to count. She counted the steps on the road, the number of dishes and spoons she washed in the kitchen sink, everything! Boundless, curious, and excited by calculations, young Katherine longed to know as much as she could about math, about the universe.
From Katherine''s early beginnings as a gifted student to her heroic accomplishments as a prominent mathematician at NASA, Counting on Katherine is the story of a groundbreaking American woman who not only calculated the course of moon landings but, in turn, saved lives and made enormous contributions to history.
Maths
Overview
In Year 4, we follow the First4Maths scheme, which carefully builds children’s knowledge and skills across number, calculation, fractions, shape, and measures. The scheme provides a clear progression that prepares pupils for the multiplication tables check, while also encouraging them to explain their thinking and apply strategies to solve problems. Lessons are practical, engaging, and designed to develop both fluency and reasoning in maths.
