Primary Year 4 Scheme of Work

Content overview

The purpose of this document is to provide teachers with support and information on planning,
creating and delivering their lessons throughout the year. Teachers will need to refer to this
document when planning and delivering both their textbook-based and non-textbook-based
lessons.
The Scheme of Work is divided to sections which provide the following information and content:

1. Content and organisation of the Scheme of Work
This section provides teachers with an introduction to the Scheme of Work and an explanation
of how the textbook-based and the non-textbook-based lessons are organised within the
Scheme of Work.

2. Supporting information

This section provides teachers with an explanation of the information contained within the
Scheme of Work template. This section also gives teachers advice on completing the Scheme
of Work template for their own non-textbook-based lessons.

3. Pre-lesson and post-lesson tasks

In this section, teachers will find some suggestions for pre-lesson and post-lesson tasks. Pre-
lesson tasks are short tasks that come at the beginning of the lesson to help pupils warm up
and to introduce or review learning. Post-lesson tasks come at the end of the lesson to review,
summarise, personalise or talk about learning in the lesson, so they consolidate learning and
provide closure to the lesson. Many lessons in the Scheme of Work guide teachers to choose
pre- and post-lesson activities from this section.

4. Differentiation strategies for Primary pupils
This section provides teachers with a number of suggested differentiation strategies that
teachers may wish to use in their planning to help meet the needs of the pupils in their class.

5. Glossary of terms in Year 4
Teachers should refer to the Content and Learning Standards contained within the Scheme of
Work when planning their lessons. These Content and Learning Standards come from the
Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) and the Curriculum
Framework documents.

This section provides teachers with supporting explanations for some of these Content and
Learning Standards. It also provides explanations of important terms used in some of the
lessons. These terms are mainly found in the Learning Outline section (see the first table in
the Glossary of Terms).
