Poetry is Year 3/4’s first English unit this term and they have been looking at different Blitz Poetry. They generated vocabulary about the Blitz, edited and improved their word choices and combined sentence strips to create a group poem.
Finally, they wrote and performed their own Blitz poem.
In the Autumn term, Y3/4 are instigating ‘What was life like in WWII?” To launch out topic the children spent the day in the life of an evacuee. The children came dressed up for the day and we had some fantastic costumes!
The children were evacuated to different classrooms were they decided what to pack in their suitcase, wrote letters home, created some evacuee artwork and made a meat paste sandwich.
The children learned what it was like to be an evacuee and are excited to find out why children like them were evacuated.
Children from different year groups have been working hard to create a fabulous hoarding panel that will be used whilst building work takes place during construction of the new foot-bridge over Clive Sullivan Way. Look at the link below to see how they did it…
After our trip to Tropical World, Year 3 designed and created their own version of Tropical World. They thought carefully about what materials they should use to create each animal. The end products looked fabulous!
Year 3/4 had a great time on their trips to Tropical World. They got to see some rainforest animals in real life and got to experience the climate of the rainforest. It was very hot and humid!
Year 3 and 4 have been learning about French Artist Henri Rousseau.
They have looked at his famous art pieces and used these as inspiration for their own art.
We think they look fabulous!
To launch our new topic, ‘Why do we need Rainforests?’, we had a wow day exploring the sounds of the rainforest. We came to school dressed as explorers and rainforest animals.
After exploring our in our new immersive pod, we performed rainforest poetry.
We then created our own instruments and created a music sequence to accompany our poems.
It was a brilliant day!
Welcome back to the Summer Term in Year 3/4. We are ready to start a new topic with the question ‘Why do we need Rainforests?’ Our pod has been transformed into a Rainforest with a trickling waterfall running through the pod.
This week, the children in Years 3 and 4 have been learning about Easter Traditions in France. They have also learned that Joyeuses Pâques means Happy Easter.
This work then inspired us to send our Easter cards out in French this year!
All of Year 3 and 4 would like to wish you Joyeuses Pâques!
