Persuasive writing
Year 4 have been writing persuasive letters. Can anybody share any tips or suggestions on how to write persuasively?
Minibeast information texts
Year 4 have been linking Science and English this week: using their knowledge of non-chronological reports to produce an informative booklet about a chosen minibeast. They also included references from any websites or books they used to find their facts.
These have been published online using Book Creator. Click on the links below.
Story writing
Year 4 used their literacy skills to write science fiction stories over Easter. (They are great to read. If you want to have a sneaky peak, you can click here to read short extracts from three of the stories).
I was wondering if anyone could share any top tips about writing an effective story. My tip would be to write an opening to get the reader interested… beginning with action is one way to do this.
Romans
Our new history topic is “The Romans in Britain.” Year 4 will use this blog to share their learning, so check back here for fascinating Roman Britain posts.
