We are now reading How to Train your Dragon. We have been looking out for unfamiliar words and finding out their meaning. We hope to use some of these words in our future writing.

As part of our transition into Year 4, we have been reading the book, Felix After the Rain. In this lesson, we focused on the four Key Scenes and talked to our partner about each of them. Thinking about what is happening, what has happened before, what will happen next, how Felix is feeling and how we would feel.

We then listened to four pieces of music and matched the mood of the scenes with the mood of the music. We devised short movements about each of the four scenes thinking about how we could move and the shapes that we could make to show how Felix would be standing, how he would move, what he would feel about his surroundings and what body shapes and facial expressions could show this. We then experienced and performed all our movements to the music.
