Autumn Term One

It has been a very busy first half term in year 4, with the children developing their writing of simile and metaphor poetry in our first writing unit. Initially, we began to explore and understand the difference between similes and metaphors and create examples of each to describe ourselves. We then explored different topics such as the weather, and different emotions to help us generate and extend our descriptive ideas. Here are some examples of our poetry writing:

The children in year 4 have also had the opportunity to start swimming this half term, with half of the class attending on Tuesday afternoons. This group have made an amazing start to the sessions, demonstrating confidence and resilience.

For the other children not attending swimming yet, we have had the enriching opportunity to take part in small group art sessions led by Hannah our resident artist. These children have worked over a period of a few weeks to create their own Anglo-Saxon decorative plate and jewellery, creating intricate designs out of Fimo clay inspired by Anglo Saxon metalwork and jewellery.
