Year 4

All About Year 4

In Year 4, we believe in team work and us all working together as one team which includes everyone of the year 4 children! Our staff team includes Miss Moulsher, Mr Breckwoldt and Miss McIntyre and we are supported by Mrs Morrey, Mrs Begley, Mrs Holmes and Mr Longshaw, we all work together very hard to ensure the year group makes good progress and has fun!

During the year we will study some great and interesting topics such as: Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Sound, European mountains, Animal habitats, Teeth and eating. We also hope to have some exciting visitors and take some trips to some intriguing places including an overnight stay!

We will also study a different class book each half term including: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Running on the Roof of the World and The Iron Man.

Homework

In addition to the set homework, pupils should be reading every evening and regularly practising their spellings and times tables (using TT Rockstars).

Meet your teachers!

Miss Moulsher

Hello, I'm Miss Moulsher! 

I'm originally from Huddersfield, as you might be able to tell from my Yorkshire accent, but have lived in Stockport for about 6 years now. 

This is my third year working at Great Moor Junior School and before that I taught in Thailand and other schools in Stockport. I love teaching History, Maths and PE and will be running an afterschool yoga club this year!

Year 4 is my favourite year to teach as we have such fantastic topics!

If you ever have any questions feel free to come and see me before or after school!

Mr. Breckwoldt

Hello, my name is Mr. Breckwoldt.

This is my second year teaching Year 4 at Great Moor Junior School. I am again with Mrs. Begley who is working alongside me as my Teaching Assistant. We have worked together as a great team for the last few years in Year 3 and in Year 4.

It is a great curriculum in Year 4 with such topics as the Ancient Greeks and Romans; learning about electricity in Science and using that to make nightlights in DT; the Alps in Geography; building on skills in computing (learning about repetition in Scratch and Logo); as well as a great set of books to read in English; lots of challenging and fun Maths; and much more besides. 

At present, I am one of the Computing coordinators. And I know those who did a lot of work during Lockdown gained a lot of Computing skills. 

I will be recommencing Code Club during the autumn term. So if you enjoy Scratch you will love it.

I also enjoy reading (fiction and non-fiction) and I am still learning the piano.

Miss Macintyre

Hello, my name is Miss Macintyre!

This is my first year teaching at Great Moor Junior School. I am very excited to teach Year 4 and work alongside Mr. Breckwoldt and Miss Moulsher. I completed one of my University placements here in Year 4 and thoroughly enjoyed it!

I look forward to supporting your children to grow in their ability and confidence throughout the year. Year 4 has lots of interesting topics such as the Ancient Greeks which I am sure the children will love! I love to teach Maths, Geography and Computing. 

Outside of school, I enjoy running, travelling and have recently ventured into skydiving! 

I hope the children thoroughly enjoy their time in year 4. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
