Year 4 have worked really hard this week on putting their own words to the picture book ‘Flotsam’. They have got to grips with adding adverbs and using commas when listing items.

Term 3 Week 2
Year 4 have been enjoying our wordless book Flotsam in Literacy where we learnt how an ‘old fashioned’ camera works. The children had all made predictions about what they thought the book would be about, I’m not sure any of them came close to guessing the surprise ending! Next week we shall be encouraging the […]
Spring Term 1
Year 4 have had a fab first week back after their Christmas break. Lots of fun was had in the snow at break time on Tuesday but they also got stuck back into their learning. In Literacy, year 4 have started reading ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’ by Andy Shepherd where they have discovered that […]
End of term 2 – Merry Christmas
Earlier in the week, year 4 were captivated by the animated version of the Iron Man, The Iron Giant. This version really helped to bring the story to life.

Today, Year 4 watched a live broadcast from Antarctica! Robert Swan OBE, the first person to walk to the North and South Poles, shared stories of his visits and also helped us to understand why it is so important to look after our environment. It was incredibly interesting and inspiring. If your child would like […]

We paused our work on the Iron Man briefly this week to do some reading comprehension practice.

For Big Write this week, we took the opportunity to […]
