The curriculum in Class 4 continues to support the children
through the essential time of change. Their inner storms are
reflected in the robust Norse myths that form part of the Main
Lesson content of the year. The geography and history of Glasgow
and the children’s own neighbourhood places them securely in the
here and now. The world of nature is explored in a Main Lesson
called ‘Humans and Animals’ – accurate natural history linked to
human physiology. The changes in pupils outlook in life are
reflected even in the maths Main Lessons, which split numbers
into fractions. In English, the class works with the tenses;
they write increasingly adventurous stories and poems. the
children also start to write the foreign languages which up to
now have been studied orally.
