Sorry for any confusion with the English Home Leaning Power point. You will find the Adjectives and Adverbs Power point and the Seaside Senses poem on separate tabs below. The writing task that children need to complete for this week is their own Seaside Senses Poem, following the structure of the poem given. The task on the final slide just asks the children to think if they can generate more interesting sentences about the seaside by including effective adjectives and adverbs. Hope this helps!

The National Literacy Trust, alongside Bloomsbury have created The Book of Hopes. An extraordinary collection of short stories, poems, essays and pictures from more than 110 children’s writers and illustrators, including Lauren Child, Anthony Horowitz, Greg James and Chris Smith, Michael Morpurgo, Liz Pichon, Axel Scheffler, Francesca Simon and Jacqueline Wilson. The book is dedicated to the doctors, nurses, carers, porters, cleaners and everyone currently working in hospitals.

On Friday the 1st May, it is the Book Trust’s Pyjamarama day.  This year they are encouraging families to join a festival of story-filled fun at home.   So get in to your pyjamas, grab a book and read together. The website contains more information, suggested books and activities.

Good morning, hope you are all well. I just thought would like something to do on this very rainy day, so I have set up a battle on TTRockstrars. It is between the boys and girls. You have until Friday 1st May, so let’s see you can win this Year 4 battle! Good luck! Mrs Walton

Huge congratulations to Safa, Riley, Tayla D, Regan and Summer, who have all improved their rock status in the last ten days. Well done!

Our online Spelling Resource ‘Read, Write, Inc. Spelling’ which we use in school, has created some extra practice revision activities for children to access during school closures. Alongside spelling activities, there are also Ebooks linked to Oxford Reading Tree, phonics worksheets and even times table games!
