Musical talent in Y4

Over the last two days in Y4 we have been learning how to clap in a rhythm and read music to be able to create a melody.

Today we have continued to produce our Colombia posters, showcasing all the research we collected on Colombia. We have wrote about Colombia’s climate, where Colombia is in the world and The Andes. Children have made a fantastic start with these and we all all excited to continue working on these tomorrow.

The past couple of weeks we have been narrating, critiquing and revising The Lorax. As we had finished this piece it was time to show off on Friday to our audience – year 3. It was motivating to have a purpose and the opportunity to share our work as Miss Mcloughlin reads lots of our work. We beamed with pride as we knocked on Crew Gerrard’s and Crew Flaherty’s door ready to show off our beautiful work. It was also lovely to see some year 3s reading their writing back too and giving kind critique 😀

Today we have started our next writing unit, a persuasive letter. We have unpicked a persuasive letter thinking about the features needed. We used coloured pencils to highlight emotive language, flattery, rhetorical questions, adverbials, facts/evidence and using the first person. We worked really hard in our pairs to support each other when reading the letter then finding the features together.
