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 suspense stories.
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?’
