Y4 Summer Term Overview

Ask the children to imagine that they are Lilliputians and give them ideas
of how to describe their investigations on the beach when the giant is

found.

create compound sentences in their stories as well as lots of similes and

describing words.

Alternatively, the children could write a story about a day in the life of a

mini-beast.

LESSON 9

U Using similes

Give the children a list of similes for them to think of things which could

be described using the various similes. Alternatively, give the children a
subject about which to write which would give scope for the use of a

number of similes.

LESSON 10

Writing about hobbies

Let the children share about their hobbies. Ask them to use persuasive
speech in sharing to try to convince others in the class that they should

share the same hobby. Talk about the gifts and talents God has given to
each one of us.

Ask the children to write a short account of their hobby, why they chose
it and several reasons why everyone with similar gifting should take up

that same hobby.
