GRADE 4

Grade 4 at Pelham Senior Primary is where the journey begins - the gateway into our vibrant school community and a year filled with growth, discovery, and excitement.

As the entry grade, we take special care to ensure a smooth transition. Learners start school one day before the rest of the grades, giving them the space to settle in without feeling overwhelmed. Each child is also paired with a caring Grade 7 “buddy” to help them navigate their new environment.

Our classrooms are alive with fun, engagement, and meaningful discussion, covering a variety of interesting topics that spark curiosity and a love for learning. Throughout the year, our Grade 4 educators aim to develop the skills, thinking techniques, and behaviours that enable learners to keep progressing positively throughout their time at Pelham.

Themes and topics are carefully selected to appeal to the interest levels of the learners, and, wherever and whenever possible, the learners are taken out of the classroom for outings and activities that make the learning experience relevant and exciting. In Term 1, our Natural Science programme comes alive with a guided tour of the Botanical Gardens, where learners explore living and non-living things and discover the wonders of different ecosystems. Later in the year, the much-anticipated Grade 4 camp offers an opportunity for team building, adventure, and strengthening the bond between classmates and teachers.

Grade 4 is a year where new friendships are forged, skills are developed, and a lifelong journey of learning and discovery begins.
