Axe Making - 22nd September 2020
Year 4 have been making axes (out of cardboard!) as part of their work studying the Vikings. They've used them as props in their freeze frames of some of the scenes in the story of Beowolf that they have been learning in their English lessons.
Beowolf - 21st September 2020
To support children with developing their writing skills, we use Pie Corbett's Talk 4 Writing process throughout the school. This involves children learning a story, including actions, which they can then use to support their own independent writing. We hope you like the story that children in Year 4 have been learning.
