English
Year 4 English focuses on developing reading comprehension, fluent writing, vocabulary, and technical grammar. Children learn to structure complex sentences, use advanced punctuation (like inverted commas and apostrophes), and confidently extract meaning and inference from various fiction and non-fiction texts. The English curriculum includes:
Reading: word reading and comprehension
Writing: transcription (including spelling and handwriting) and composition
Writing: vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
Spoken Language
At Hatton Hill, we place a very high focus on reading - both within our curriculum and for pleasure. Each classroom has its own designated reading area and at the end of each day, children gather together to enjoy a story together.
Handwriting is taught following 'letter-join'. Parents will receive informatiion explaining how to access handwriting games and activities at home.
Please visit your child's class page for more information and suggested reading books for Year 4 children.
Our Intent and Impact (I&I) sheets below list the questions we want children to be able to answer once they have completed their learning. They also highlight key vocabulary which children must learn.
