Year 3/4 Blogpost 10.11.23

Dear Parents,

This week we have had special lessons lined up to celebrate Remembrance Day, including in Guided Reading sessions we have been looking at the poem 'Lest We Forget' by Angela Marie Jameson. In English, we have finished writing recounts based around the story A Forest Next to the Sea and will now be moving on to writing more formal recounts such as reporting as a news reporter.

REMEMBRANCE DAY
This week we took sometime away from English to write poetry around Remembrance Day. The children participated in the BBC Remembrance Day Live Lesson and used this to explore the significance of Remembrance Day through poetry and real-life accounts from veterans. On Thursday afternoon, we all came together to share our poetry.

These will be collected by teachers and checked from time to time. Please make sure you bring your book and your reading record in with you every day. As soon as you are ready you can take a quiz at school. Remember that you need 3x 100% scores to move up a level.
