English in Class 4

This week we have been super busy in English. 

We start every lesson with spelling practice; this week it has been -ure words. There were some tricky ones like 'fissure' and 'cynosure' so we used a dictionary to look up their definitions. The children showed fantastic skills with using a dictionary and hopefully they can begin to use these words in their writing. 

After spelling, we dive straight into our English lesson. This week we have been exploring newspapers and their different genres. The children have understood the purpose of newspapers and can now identify the features. 

All this works contributes to them writing their own article based on our class text of 'Anatole'.
