We wanted to give a big shout-out and well done to our amazing #TeamYear4, who have been diving into some exciting writing tasks this term in #English: 💡 “How do I write to entertain, persuade, inform, and discuss❓” To prepare for their persuasive writing challenge, creating an advert for tea, our learners took part in a fruit tea-tasting experience! They explored different flavours and aromas, thinking carefully about how to use descriptive language to make their adverts irresistible! 🍵 📚☕ Alongside this, #TeamYear4 have been working on: ✅ Writing story openings that create atmosphere in the style of 'Cloud Tea Monkeys' (a book they have all shared and greatly enjoyed in class!). ✅ Crafting dialogue between the overseer and Tashi. ✅ Writing thank-you letters to the monkeys. ✅ Discussing important issues like child labour through structured discussion texts. This immersive approach has helped our learners develop strong persuasive techniques and broaden their understanding of global contexts, all while having fun and engaging their senses! 📢 Miss McClymont, Head of #TeamYear4, said: “I’m so proud of how Year 4 embraced this activity. They were thoughtful, creative and really enjoyed the fruit tea-tasting experience. It was fantastic to see them using their senses to inspire persuasive writing, well done #TeamYear4!” What a brilliant way to bring #English to life! 🤩 ⭐ #WeLoveEnglish ⭐ here at #TeamOcklynge.
