Welcome to Ash - Year 4!

Autumn Term

In Ash Class, we have been exploring poetry focusing on the poem Overheard on a Saltmarsh by Harold Monro. The class enjoyed bringing the characters to life through reading aloud and discussing the vivid imagery and mysterious mood of the poem. A key focus this week was punctuating speech correctly, as the poem contains dialogue between two very different voices. We practised using a variety of punctuation to show when a character is speaking, helping us understand how it can add meaning and expression to poetry.

Autumn Term

Year 4 had a fantastic trip to West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village! The children explored the reconstructed houses, discovering how the Anglo-Saxons lived, worked and built their homes. They enjoyed hands-on activities, handled real and replica artefacts, and learned fascinating facts about life over a thousand years ago. It was an exciting and educational day that brought their history topic to life!
