Grade 4 Curriculum Guide for Parents 2018-2019 - Raha International ...
Dear Parents

This Guide has been created to provide you with an overview of the curriculum offered in the Primary
School at Raha International School (RIS), with a particular focus on the learning that will be happening in
Grade 4.

At Raha International School we offer a balanced and academically challenging education which is
designed to develop individuals who are both independent learners and international citizens. Our
curriculum in the Primary School is based on the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years
Programme (PYP). The PYP is an international framework which focuses on the development of the whole
child addressing social, physical, emotional, cultural and academic needs for learners. RIS offers the PYP
from Early Years 1 (EY1) up to Grade 5.

The focus of the PYP is on student learning and developing an internationally educated person. The
framework offers a comprehensive, inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning, providing
opportunities for learners to construct meaning, principally through concept-driven inquiry. At RIS we
focus on the development of skills and attitudes we would hope to find in a balanced, self-motivated,
caring and ethical individual.

RIS was officially authorized in the PYP by the IB in 2010, and had its first post-authorization IB Evaluation
visit in March 2014. The school is committed to following and further developing the Programme to
ensure that learning is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant and meets the diverse needs of the
student.

At RIS we believe that strong partnerships between the school and parents provide an important

Developmental characteristics of a Grade 4 child
Although most of the children are nine turning ten, some are younger and others are older, one youngster may be
expected to differ widely from others in their group. Girls are more apt to be larger and stronger than boys. Largely
parents and teachers determine the kind of adults they will become. Our very best efforts may not be effective if
our children see in us traits of impatience, selfishness and fear.

Children will overlook many of our weakness if they know we really love them. They will have confidence in
themselves if they are raised in an atmosphere of confidence and security. Since childhood misinterpretation and
fears carry over into adulthood and are often the causes of maladjustment in later life, parents and teachers should
know the general characteristic and needs of boys and girls, should strive to create an atmosphere conducive to
good mental health.

The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)
Learner Profile
The IB learner profile promotes education of the whole person for a life of active, responsible citizenship emphasizing
intellectual, personal, emotional and social growth. The attributes and descriptions of the learner profile define the
type of learner RIS hopes to develop through its programmes. All members of the RIS Community including students,
teachers, administration, support staff and parents strive to develop these qualities.

Profile            Descriptor

Inquirers          We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently
                   and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life.

Knowledgeable      We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We
                   engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.

Thinkers           We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We
                   exercise initiative in making reasoned, ethical decisions.

Communicators      We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We
                   collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.

Principled         We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the
                   dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.

Open–minded        We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of
                   others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience.

Risk–takers        We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to
                   explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and
                   change.

Balanced           We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives—intellectual, physical, (spiritual)
                   and emotional—to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with
                   other people and with the world in which we live.

Caring             We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a
                   positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.

Reflective         We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our
                   strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.

The Essential Elements of the PYP
                                                                                    ‫إب ئي‬          ‫ي ل ن مج لس‬              ‫ل‬   ‫لع ص‬

The aim of the PYP, to create a curriculum that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant, is achieved through
structured inquiry and the development of five essential elements: knowledge, concepts, skills and action.

Knowledge: What do we want students to know?
While the PYP acknowledges the importance of traditional subject areas (language, mathematics, social studies,
science, personal, social and physical education, and arts), it also recognizes the importance of acquiring a set of
skills in context and of exploring content which transcends the boundaries of the traditional subjects and is relevant
to students. The PYP has six transdisciplinary themes that provide the framework for learning. These themes are
globally significant and support the acquisition of knowledge, concepts and skills of the traditional subjects. They are
 e isited th oughout the stude ts ti e i the PYP.

                                                                                                      ‫المعرف‬: ‫يعرف ه؟ أن الطا من نريد م‬
‫أن نرغ التي الم هي يتضمن الذ المحت ى‬   ‫يعرف ن الطا يكتش‬   ‫ خبرات مراع ة مع عن‬، ‫الري ضي ال غ خال من ذل الس ب‬       ‫الع‬    ‫الت ني‬  ‫الدراس‬
                                                                      ‫ الجم عي ال رد التع ي البدني التربي الم سي المرئي ال ن ن اإجتم عي‬.

Who we are                               An inquiry into the nature of the self; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental,
‫نك ن من‬                                  social and spiritual health, human relationships including families, friends, communities,
                                         and cultures; rights and responsibilities; what it means to be human.
Where we are in place and time           An inquiry into orientation in place and time; personal histories; homes and journeys;
‫الزم ن المك ن من نحن أين‬                 the discoveries, explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationships between
                                         and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations, from local and global
                                         perspectives.
How we express ourselves                 An inquiry into the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature,
‫أن سن عن نعبر كيف‬                        culture, beliefs and values; the ways in which we reflect on, extend and enjoy our
                                         creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic.
How the world works                      An inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world
‫الع ل يعمل كيف‬                           (physical and biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of
                                         scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and
                                         on the environment.
How we organize ourselves                An inquiry into the interconnectedness of human-made systems and communities; the
‫كيف‬    ‫أن سن بتنظي ن‬                     structure and function of organizations; societal decision-making; economic activities
                                         and their impact of humankind and the environment.
Sharing the planet                       An inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with
 ‫الك ك في المش رك‬                        other people and with other living things; communities and the relationship within and
                                         between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution.

The PYP is both a curriculum framework and a philosophy that facilitates structured inquiry. Through inquiry, the
students are encouraged to question, wonder, doubt, speculate and generalize as part of their learning journey to
construct meaning about the world around them. Students are also encouraged to consider situations from multiple
viewpoints and have the opportunity to explore significant local and global issues .

                                                                 7
Concepts: What do we want students to understand?                         ‫الم هي‬: ‫ي م ه؟ أن الطا ُ من نريدُ م ذا‬

In order to develop a holistic approach to learning the PYP identifies key concepts that have relevance within and
a oss su je ts. These o epts ofte fo the asis of uestio s that a e used to d i e hild e s i ui a d lead
to a deeper understanding of what is being learned. These concepts include:

●   Form: What is it like? ‫الشكل‬: ‫يبد ؟ كيف‬
    Observing, identifying, describing and categorizing.
●   Function: How does it work? ‫ال ظي‬: ‫يعمل؟ كيف‬
    analyse the function, role, behaviour and the ways in which things work.
●   Causation: Why is it like it is?   ‫السب‬: ‫هكذا؟ يبد لم ذا‬
    P o pti g stude ts to ask Wh ? a d of helpi g the to e og ize that a tio s a d e e ts ha e easo s a d
    consequences.
●   Change: How is it changing? ‫التغيير‬: ‫يتغير؟ كيف‬
    Realization that we are growing up in a world in which the pace of change, both local and global, is accelerating.
●   Connection: How is it connected to other things? ‫الص‬: ‫أخرى؟ ب شي ء يتصل كيف‬
    helps focus on the relationships within and among systems are often complex, and that changes in one aspect
    of a system will have consequences, even though these may not be immediately apparent; that we must
    consider the impact of our actions on others, whether at the immediate, personal level or at the level of far-
    reaching decisions affecting environments and communities.
●   Perspective: What are the points of view? ‫المنظ ر‬: ‫هي م‬       ‫النظر؟ ج‬
    Helping students reject simplistic, biased interpretations, towards seeking and considering the points of view of
    others, and towards developing defensible interpretations.
●   Responsibility: What is our responsibility? ‫المس لي‬: ‫مس ليتن ؟ هي م‬
    This concept was selected because of the need to develop in students the disposition towards identifying and
    assuming responsibility, and towards taking socially responsible action. This concept is directly linked to the
    action component, one of the essential elements in the PYP curriculum.
●   Reflection: How do we know? ‫اإنعك س‬: ‫نعرف؟ كيف‬
    Challenges the students to examine their evidence, methods and conclusions for potential bias or other
    inaccuracy.

In addition to the above key concepts, children will inquire into related concepts in all curriculum areas. Instead of
simply gaining knowledge and skills in mathematics, for example, they will deepen their understanding of concepts
such as pattern, multiplication, place value and bias.

Skills: What do we want students to be able to do?
In order to conduct purposeful inquiry and be prepared for life-long learning, students need to master a whole range of skills.
The PYP framework identifies some skills which transcend the disciplines and are therefore called trans-disciplinary skills.

In the PYP program, the students are challenged to take action and reflect on how they can make a difference to the world. In
the PYP such action is student initiated and results from a genuine concern for and commitment to others.

Assessment
Beliefs/philosophy
RIS believes that assessment is an integral tool that drives learning and teaching. Assessment allows us to identify
what students understand, know, can do and where they are in the learning process. Both students and teachers
are involved in assessing progress as part of the development of their wider critical thinking and self-evaluation skills
as well as demonstration of Learner Profile. We identify desired results, determine acceptable evidence and plan
learning experiences and instruction to ensure success. A wide range of strategies and tools are used for assessment.
By understanding our learners we can adapt and change our instruction to help students and teachers reach
expectations set forth by our programme.

Feedback
Teachers at RIS are aware of the importance feedback plays in the learning process of a child. Feedback is given so
children can reflect on their work and further refine and develop their skills. Teachers at RIS are aware of the

Learning Goals
An important part of the PYP is the setting of personal goals by the students; these goals should be achievable and
measureable. All children should have their goals in a prominent place both at home and at school.

Parent- Tea her First I pressio s Co fere es

We hold a Parent Teacher Conferences after the first few weeks of the new school year. These provide an
opportunity for the homeroom teacher and parents to discuss how the child is settling emotionally, socially and
academically in their new class.

Three Way Conferences

In December we hold our Three Way Conferences (TWC). Three Way conferences involve the student, parents and
teacher. Students discuss their learning and understanding with their parents and teacher, who are responsible for
supporting the student through this process. Prior to the end of the conference new goals SMART goals are set,
with all determining how they can support the achievement of the goals.

Student Led Conferences

On April 30th we will hold our Student Led Conferences (SLCs). All students participate and are responsible for
leading the conference between themselves and their parents. The conferences enable parents to gain a clear
insight into the work their child is doing through discussion with them.

Programme of Inquiry (POI)

Inquiry is the primary pedagogical approach of the PYP. Inquiry learning means students are actively involved in their
own learning and to take responsibility for that learning. The PYP curriculum model is built from a framework of
Transdisciplinary Themes that help teachers and students to explore and acquire essential knowledge and skills and
to take socially responsible action. The PYP sets out six themes to offer continuity and progression of learning. All
grade levels from Kindergarten onwards study one Unit of Inquiry under each theme (Pre-K address four of the six
themes).

Introduction

The learning process simultaneously involves learning language—as learners listen to and use language with others
in their everyday lives; learning about language—as learners grow in their understanding of how language works;
and learning through language—as learners use language as a tool to listen, think, discuss and reflect on information,
ideas and issues (Halliday 1980).

Effective language teaching and learning are social acts, dependent on relationships with others, with context, with
the environment, with the world, and with the self. Such learning is relevant, engaging, challenging and significant.
Exposure to and experience with languages, with all their richness and diversity, creates an inquisitiveness about life
and learning, and a confidence about creating new social interactions.

At ‘I“ e elie e that lea e s eeds a e est se ed he the ha e oppo tu ities to e gage i lea i g ithi
meaningful contexts, rather than the learning of language as an isolated series of skills to be acquired. Fragmenting
learning into the acquisition of isolated skill sets can create difficulties for learners—for example, learners may be
able to read, write and spell words correctly in isolation but may not be able to read, write or spell those same words
in other contexts.

Our teachers plan learning experiences that enable learners to develop language within meaningful and enjoyable
contexts, learners are able to make connections, apply and transfer their learning to different situations. The
programme of inquiry provides an authentic context for learners to develop and use language.

PYP Language Strands

The PYP has identified three strands—oral language, visual language, written language—that are learned across
and throughout the curriculum, with each strand being an integral component of language learning. Each strand has
been considered from both the receptive aspect—receiving and constructing meaning, and expressive aspect—
creating and sharing meaning

The Grade 4 Language Curriculum
Within the Grade 4 classroom, the language profile of every student is unique. This is typical in any school, but
particularly so in an international school where students come with such varied experiences of English, many as
second language English learners. At RIS the range of learning needs is recognized and we differentiate our
programme accordingly. Language in the Primary School is supported by the First Steps frameworks for reading and
Writing and the IB PYP continuums for Oral Language and Visual Language. Both the First steps frameworks and the
IB PYP continuums are designed as diagnostic tools to assist teachers in planning learning experiences for students,

therefore presented in developmental phases rather than by age range.

Oral Language – Listening and Speaking
(In Grade 4 the majority of students will be working predominantly, but not exclusively, within Phase 4 for Listening
and Speaking.)

Overall Expectations

Phase 1
Learners show an understanding of the value of speaking and listening to communicate. They recognize that sounds
are associated with objects or with symbolic representations of them. They are using language to name their
environment, to get to know each other, to initiate and explore relationships, to question and inquire.

Phase 2
Learners show an understanding that sounds are associated with objects, events and ideas, or with symbolic
representations of them. They are aware that an object or symbol may have different sounds or words associated
with it in different languages. They are beginning to be cognizant about the high degree of variability of language
and its uses.

                                                         16
Phase 3
Learners show an understanding of the wide range of purposes of spoken language: that it instructs, informs,
e te tai s, eassu es; that ea h liste e s pe eptio of hat the hea is u i ue. The a e o pili g ules a out
the use of different aspects of language.

Phase 4
Learners show an understanding of the conventions associated with speaking and listening and the value of adhering
to those conventions. They are aware that language is a vehicle for becoming knowledgeable, for negotiating
understanding and for negotiating the social dimension.

Phase 5
Learners are able to understand the difference between literal and figurative language and how to use language
differently for different purposes. They are aware that they are building on their previous experiences and using
language to construct new meaning.

Visual Language – Viewing and Presenting
(In Grade 4 the majority of students will be working predominantly, but not exclusively, within Phase 4 for Viewing
and Presenting)

Overall expectations

Phase 1
Learners show an understanding that the world around them is full of visual language that conveys meaning.
They are able to interpret and respond to visual texts. Although much of their own visual language is spontaneous,
they are extending and using visual language in more purposeful ways.

Phase 2
Learners identify, interpret and respond to a range of visual text prompts and show an understanding that different
types of visual texts serve different purposes. They use this knowledge to create their own visual texts for particular
purposes.

Phase 3
Learners show an understanding that visual text may represent reality or fantasy. They recognize that visual text
resources can provide factual information and increase understanding. They use visual text in a reflective way to
enrich their storytelling or presentations, and to organize and represent information.

Phase 4
Learners show an open-mindedness about the use of a range of visual text resources to access information.
They think critically, and are articulate about the use of visual text to influence the viewer. They are able to use visual
imagery to present factual information, or to tell a story.

                                                            17
Phase 5
Through inquiry, learners engage with an increasing range of visual text resources. As well as exploring the viewing
and presenting strategies that are a part of the planned learning environment, they select and use strategies that
suit their learning styles. They are able to make connections between visual imagery and social commentary. They
show more discernment in selecting information they consider reliable. They are able to use visual imagery to
support a position.

Overview of Reading Phase 3: Early

GLOBAL STATEMENT

Early readers recognise a bank of frequently used words and use a small range of strategies to comprehend texts. These include short
literary texts and structured informational texts that have familiar vocabulary and are supported by illustrations. Reading of unfamiliar
texts is often slow and deliberate as they focus on reading exactly what is on the page, using sounding out as a primary word-identification
strategy.

CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS
● Different types of texts serve different purposes.
● What we already know enables us to understand what we read.
● Applying a range of strategies helps us to read and understand new texts.
● Wondering about texts and asking questions helps us to understand the meaning.
● The structure and organization of written language influences and conveys meaning.

Overview of Reading Phase 4: Transitional

GLOBAL STATEMENT
In this phase readers are beginning to integrate strategies to identify unknown words and to comprehend text. These
strategies, combined with an increasing bank of sight words, enable readers to read texts such as novels, newspapers
and websites with familiar content, fluently and with expression. Transitional readers reflect on strategies used and
are beginning to discuss their effectiveness.
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS
● Reading and thinking work together to enable us to make meaning.
● Checking, rereading and correcting our own reading as we go enable us to read new and more complex texts.
● Identifying the main ideas in the text helps us to understand what is important.
● Knowing what we aim to achieve helps us to select useful reference material to conduct research.

O er ie of ‘eadi g Phase         Profi ie t

GLOBAL STATEMENT
Proficient readers have developed a multi-strategy approach to identify unknown words and comprehend demanding texts
such as subject-specific textbooks, novels and essays. They are able to select strategies appropriate to the purpose and
complexity of the text. Readers have a greater ability to connect topic, grammatical, cultural/world and text-structure
knowledge with what is new in the text. Proficient readers identify the target audience of a text. They draw on evidence
from their own experience to challenge or question the text.
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS
● Authors structure stories around significant themes.
● Effective stories have a structure, purpose and sequence of events (plot) that help to make the autho s i te tio lea .
● Synthesizing ideas and information from texts leads to new ideas and understanding.

Overview of Writing Phase 3: Early

GLOBAL STATEMENT
Early writers produce a small range of texts that exhibit some of the conventions of writing. Texts such as retells, reports
and emails are composed to share experiences, information or feelings. Early writers have a small bank of frequently used
words they spell correctly. When writing unknown words, they choose letters on the basis of sound, without regard for
conventional spelling patterns.
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS
● We write in different ways for different purposes.
● The structure of different types of texts includes identifiable features.
● Applying a range of strategies helps us to express ourselves so that others can enjoy our writing.
● Thinking about storybook characters and people in real life helps us to develop characters in our own stories.
● When writing, the words we choose and how we choose to use them enable us to share our imaginings and ideas.

Overview of Writing Phase 4: Transitional

GLOBAL STATEMENT
Transitional writers show increasing control over the conventions of writing such as punctuation, spelling and text
organisation. They consider audience and purpose when selecting ideas and information to be included in texts. They
compose a range of texts, including explanations, narratives, brochures and electronic presentations. Writing shows
evidence of a bank of known words that are spelt correctly. Transitional writers are moving away from a heavy reliance on
sounding out and are beginning to integrate visual and meaning-based strategies to spell unknown words.
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS
● Writing and thinking work together to enable us to express ideas and convey meaning.
● Asking questions of ourselves and others helps to make our writing more focused and purposeful.
● The way we structure and organize our writing helps others to understand and appreciate it.
● Rereading and editing our own writing enables us to express what we want to say more clearly.
