More story writing in 4MR!

Children in 4MR have loved seeing their work shared on the blog and have asked to share more!

Over the past week, the children have been writing their own imaginary stories set in the Stone Age. This work was completely independent and gave the children the chance to apply the skills and sentences they had learnt to their own story.

Poppy used word banks to extend her range of vocabulary - great work!

Oliver included lots of detail and description in his writing. What a lovely read!

Izzie loved writing her story and was eager to share it on the blog - amazing!

 Charlie applied the range of exciting sentences he has learnt to his story. It was a gripping read!

4MR imaginary world stories

For the past two weeks, children in Year 4 have been learning how to write stories set in imaginary worlds. They have learnt how to paragraph, use exciting vocabulary and describe the five senses of a character.
The children have also learnt how to construct and apply 2A sentences, one pair sentences and choice-question sentences. Amazing!

We have loved watching the children write so enthusiastically and express their creativity within their writing. We even had children asking to stay in at break times to continue writing!

Below are some examples of children's work in 4MR...

Amelia - what a great range of vocabulary!

Alex - great independent work and use of a thesaurus!

Clement - an excellent imagination!

Phoebe - great variety of sentences!

Szymon's Electrical Game

Well done to Szymon who brought into school today this fantastic electrical game that he'd made at home. We're learning about electricity and electrical circuits at the moment and it's wonderful to see someone carrying out extra learning in their own time.

He may be able to help out other parents and children on Electrical Games Day...

Scratch - Imagine, Program, Share

This week, Class 4MH have been exploring the program Scratch in their computing lessons. They are working towards creating their own game and are becoming more and more familiar with the different scripts, costumes and sounds. In this lesson, you will see the children learning how to change their sprite, add motions to their sprite and to add sounds to their sprite. Most children created their own background and designed more than one. Children who attend code club were eager to help and share their ideas with the others.
