“Year 4 at Waterloo Primary are extremely hard workers and Fun Friday should be compulsory for all!” – King Henry VIII, just before he beheaded wife number five!

As well as the daily opportunities to improve and enhance reading, writing and numerical skills, Year 4 children experience wide-ranging opportunities from a rich and well-resourced curriculum. Part of the Year 4 journey witnesses children visit Ancient Egypt via Tudor England, learn about water and rivers, continue their French lessons, participate in weekly Fun Fridays, design a T- shirt for the T- shirt machine, dance to “Thriller”, create, perform and video gymnastic sequences as well as learn to swim during the spring and summer terms and much, much more.

Mr Truelove, Mr Woodcock and Mrs Coughlan teach the three Year 4 classes and are supported by three fantastic LSAs in Mrs Gray, Mrs Haynes and Mrs Al- Idari. The Year Four team believe in a creative and fun learning environment and aim to cater for all children by meeting visual, kinaesthetic and audio learners’ needs. There is a balance between nurture and encouraging the children to become more independent as they prepare for the upper junior years.
