Welcome back Class 4

Our topic for this term is World War 2. We made gas masks.


Ready for an air raid. 
                                                                                                                             
                  

We will base descriptive writing on our topic, so we are busy collecting fantastic figurative language, powerful verbs and creative openers.


Today we were wartime children - every time we heard an air raid siren we had to put on our gas masks and scramble quickly to get under the table for shelter. We woke up the whole school!

Poetry day - 22nd May 2014

We watched a clip of Pie Corbett sharing a poem 'If only...' 

Children collected objects from the school grounds to give inspiration for ideas.

We each selected our preferred line from our individual 'If only...' Poems to create group poems ready to film at the BBC studios tomorrow.



  

We are working on self portraits now ready to add poetic lines to this afternoon...






Recording podcasts of our work...

Today we were outside photographing freeze frames of key moments in the story.


Children were taking on roles of different characters.

Smugglers - Whodunnit? Theme

Today we're publishing our smugglers stories set in 18th century Britain. We've worked hard to edit and improve our writing.
