Year 4, Summer 1

Context:

At Liskeard Hillfort Primary School, all children have access to a broad and balanced curriculum. This ensures that children are well prepared for their future journeys into secondary school and beyond! For learning to be effective, it is important that the skills that children develop become incrementally more challenging. Over the years, the tasks get harder having been built upon solid foundations.
