Y5 Literacy
Independent Writing
Here are just a couple of fantastic examples of our independent writing. We have been focusing on developing our narrative techniques and we think you’ll agree that we are making fantastic progress.
Alien Invasion!
In February, we had a suspected alien invasion in our school field and Year 5 were the first children on the scene! A member of the 3M (3 Martians) investigation team talked us through the evidence and we asked her lots of questions. We used the iPad’s to record the evidence and then wrote some fantastic newspaper reports on the whole event.
Class Debate
The children got to experience what it would be like to be a Member of Parliament when we held a class debate on the topic of respect. Jagoda and Wiktor were the lead speakers and put across their points of view very coherently. The rest of the class were able to express their own opinions on the matter.
Our Y4 Work
Mark Robertson Visit
Author Mark Robertson visited Year 4 where he talked to the children about his amazing illustrations and shared some of the work in his sketchbook with them. The children also had the opportunity to come up with some creative ideas for a new character, which he designed and drew right in front of them!
Book Swap
Year 4 children read with Year 3 on the Friday of Book Week.
Dragon Costumes
Everyone in school dressed up in dragony costumes to celebrate World Book Day. All of the children in Year 4 made a great effort with their creations - they were fantastic!
The Egg
When the Year 4 children came back after half term, they found their classroom an absolute mess, with upturned furniture, pencils scattered across the floor and what appeared to be salvia on the tables.
To our surprise, a large egg was left in the reading corner! The children investigated the scene and discussed where this fascinating egg could have come from. The origins of the egg are still unknown, as a few days later a window was left open and the egg disappeared.

Broadway Cinema
Year 4 and Year 6 visited the Broadway cinema to watch Disney's latest hit, Moana. Here are a few of their film reviews, written following the visit.
Our Year 3 Work...
Making Books
|
After reading Pigs Might Fly, a very amusing adaptation of The Three Little Pigs Story, we all wrote our own books based on the theme of three animals racing against a BIG BAD something! That something varies from tale to tale, but if you want to find out, come and read the exciting books in our classroom.
We designed the front covers using a computer art programme, made posters advertising the race for homework and even included a blurb and a review of a friend’s book. They are amazing and available to read in our classroom! |
