Year 4 Poetry Recital

We loved learning, understanding and sharing Some Other Names for Rain by Kate Wakeling. We even invited an audience into class to listen!

Black History Month 

This month we learnt about several significant black people linked to creativity! One of them was Benjamin Zephaniah. He created a wonderful poem that unites us all. Year 1 did a brilliant job reciting the poem!

Autumn Gilt by Valerie Bloom 

This half term Year 3 Jemison have recited their new class poem, which is all about Autumn.

Watch us perform it here!

Year 4 Class Trip to YSP

Having learned about Barbara Hepworth and her love of nature in our art research, we were very excited to see her work for ourselves. We enjoyed discussing The Family of Man and walking around, appreciating the stunning surroundings. After lunch, we participated in a Walk, Talk, Make workshop based on our experiences.

Acrostic Poems

We explored a range of acrostic poems to learn about what they are and gather inspiration for our own writing.

Autumn walk…

We went on an autumn walk around the school grounds. We collected lots of autumn objects. We will use these as inspiration for our poetry writing.

Autumn word banks

We worked in groups to create class word banks for our autumn poems. We gathered exciting adjectives we could use to help us describe a range of autumn objects.

Autumn Acrostic Poems

We created some beautiful Autumn acrostic poems. We used our real-life experiences and our shared word bank to support our writing.

Headings and sub-headings

We have explored headings and sub-headings in non-chronological reports. We know that a heading tells us what the whole report is about and that a sub-heading tells us what each paragraph is about.
