We will be using the book to cover all our writing objectives - including grammar and punctuation. At the end of each week, we will be completing a piece of Extended Writing, it might be based on the book but we will also be doing some cross-curricular writing - writing with a Science, History or RE link.
These are the writing expectations for your children by the end of Year 4. It outlines the key skills they should know by the end of the year.
