Year 4 Writing

Did you take part in the #WRITEUNITE poetry writing competition about Sports Day? There is still time if you’d like to. All the resources are in Year 4 English Week 5. Entry deadline 8^th July. Last week, we began the ‘The Impossibly Possible Bookshop’ unit. This week, you will explore and make the contents of a goblin’s suitcase, create a goblin menu, design a goblin recipe and create some goblin trinkets. Then you will have a firm base to create your magical goblin story. I can’t wait to read about the unusual and exciting goblins you have created. Below in 'Grammar and punctuation' are some additional lessons that you might like to explore before you write.
