In Year 4, we’ve writing and want to develop confident and skilled writers.

Hi everyone,

Here is your next challenge.

Can you write a nature diary? We'd love to see some of these. If you feel that these challenges can be improved or have any suggestions, then please let us know!

Well done to all the Year 4 keen writers, who are using Home learning opportunities to produce super examples of extended writing. We look forward to reading each new chapter. Great readers make great writers. Keep up the good work, Year 4.

Following on from our first challenge, this time we're asking you to think of those people who we may wish to thank. This doesn't have to be a long writing activity at all.

We can't wait to see your efforts and we will share some on here when they come in. 

Good luck!
