Here’s what we’ll be covering this term in Year 4:
English
In English this term, the children will learn about and write a variety of texts such as: poetry, arguments and stories with a dilemma.
We will start by exploring emotive poetry which will focus on animals in captivity. The children will then write their own.
We will then be writing short stories with a dilemma. This will be based on the text Sam’s Duck.
After this, we will be writing a balanced argument based on ‘Should animals be kept in zoos?’
We will be reading The Ancient Egypt Sleepover.
