Year 4 - Animals in Captivity

Lesson: Literacy

Class: Year 4 Year: 2016 - 2017

In Literacy, we read the poem ‘My Mother Saw a Dancing Bear’ by Charles Causley.  Then, we used noun phrases, expanded noun phrases and powerful verbs to describe the life of a dancing bear and the life of a bear living in its natural habitat (David Attenborough film clip).  Finally, we wrote from the viewpoint of the ‘dancing bear’.
