Year 4 2025 'Meet the teachers and welcome' presentation
English
Join Tranio, the son of an actor, and his friend Livia, the baker's daughter, in witnessing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. Tranio, like most Roman boys, likes to watch whatever is going on: tradesmen selling their goods, ships unloading their exotic cargoes, politicians making speeches in the forum. But one hot August day a very different scene unfolds. The ground begins to shake, the sky to darken. People run gasping for air. Heading for the harbor, Tranio and his friend Livia hide on a boat and witness one of the most terrifying moments in recorded history-the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of their beloved city, Pompeii.
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.
