Year 4 2025 'Meet the teachers and welcome' presentation
English
A spell-binding tale of magic and mysticism for young readers that explores the wonder of nature, from award-winning Berlie Doherty.
The Queen of Darkness lives deep underground beneath a mountain with her child, Blue John, a boy she made from the blue of the glacier and the hot yellow light of the sun. Blue John is forbidden to leave his mother's side, but the lure of the light above is too strong. When a singing, dancing girl comes to the caves, Blue John must make a choice between darkness and light. A heart-warming story that embraces the beauty and colours of the natural world. High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.
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.
