Spring 2024
In Year 4, we have been reflecting on the events that happened in Jesus's life that we remember during Lent. We described our understanding of what the Lenten season is and we wrote down some special things we will do this Lent.
In Year 4, we have been learning about fables. We looked closely at the fables - The Boy Who Cried Wolf and The Turtle and the Eagle. We discussed the features and purposes of fables and we used this to write our own fables with the moral- No one believes a liar even when they tell the truth.

For our first piece of writing for this academic year, Year 4 have been writing a leaflet about their very own adventure park inspired by our work on Go Ape. In our lessons we took the time to imagine and create our own adventure park including creating its very own name, slogan and activities. Some of the activities you can find in our adventure parks are history based activities, Oreo tasting activities as well as others. As part of our grammar focus at the start of the academic year we have covered and included in our pieces subordinating and coordinating conjunctions as well as using different pronouns to avoid repetition. Our success criteria has also included using exaggerative language and rhetorical questions to capture the readers' attention. Year 4 have also been practising our skills of using headings and subheadings in our work as well as using bullet points to help us lay out our work. It has been an engaging and fantastic piece of writing which has allowed our students to be creative and write about something a little bit different.

We explored the possibility of a dead wolf coming back to life as predicted by a God and
