Year 4 offers a dynamic and varied curriculum designed to build independence and confidence. Pupils explore global climate zones, design virtual worlds, and perform original Horrible Histories scripts, recording in the TV studio. Highlights include the Eggy Challenge, where children engineer protective rocket launches for eggs in the summer term, and the Blackthorn Project, a Trust-wide competition driven by pupil-led creativity – they visit a local farm, are given a theme to design a presentation and display around and then work in classes to develop their entry into the competition. The one-night residential to Escot provides immersive outdoor learning, building on the provision of Forest School in Years 1 to 3, including Anglo-Saxon experiences and swamp exploration too. Visits to places of worship support reflective learning around the question, “Does worship need to happen in a special place?” Each term brings fresh opportunities for challenge, creativity, and growth.
