Y4 Curriculum Overview
Welcome to our Year 4 curriculum page. We believe that children have a right to expect a curriculum which is fun, motivating, interesting and most importantly purposeful.
We think Acre Heads Primary brings something special to every child that walks through our doors – we offer an exciting curriculum experience to all our children. Our school ethos is built on our core values: BELIEF, DETERMINATION, RESILIENCE and TEAMWORK and enables children to achieve extraordinary things.
On this page, you will find further information about our Year 4 curriculum, useful videos, links and resources for starting Year 4 with insights into the activities and learning environments within the year group.
Contact your child’s class:

Drax used the VR headset to explore a virtual reality Egyptian Pharaoh tomb similar to that which Howard Carter discovered in 1922 when he discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb.
They will use this experience to write their own newspaper report based on the discovery

Drax finished reading their Whole Class Reading book today. It is safe to say, they absolutely loved reading Beetle Boy! Such a brilliant adventure with hilarious characters.
I wonder if Santa will deliver any Beetle Boy books this Christmas?!
