Year 4 

Welcome to Year 4 (Y4)!  We believe in providing the children in our care with quality learning experiences delivered through our creative curriculum.  Our creative curriculum is taught through our wide ranging topics. From ‘Tomb Raiders’ to ‘Where’s Wally?’ our topics are created to encompass all core and foundation subjects.

An essential part of our curriculum are our Markeaton MINDS; that we strive to embed in all areas.  We encourage all children to try their best and have a positive attitude towards their learning.  As a consequence we hope to develop the message that all children are capable of achieving whatever they set their mind to (explore the website to find out more).

As part of our efforts to develop your child as a whole, we also give the children the opportunity to participate in a residential trip to Condover Hall in Year Four.  The aims of the trip are to develop your child’s independence, communication skills and teamwork skills.

We hope that through our new website, you gain a stronger insight into your child’s experience of Year Four.  We are thoroughly looking forward to sharing the exciting and innovative activities that we undertake throughout the year.  Read our 'Everything you need to know' booklet below for more info!!

Many Thanks,

The Year 4 Team
