Year 4 – Thor’s Adventures!

Year 4 – Thor’s Adventures!

This half term, our writing has been focused on Norse mythology and the exciting adventures of Thor! We have explored many classic texts such as Thor and the Frost Giants, and Thor and the Sea Serpent. The pupils have really enjoyed reading these stories, and they have aided their fantastic writing!

The pupils worked hard to produce a fantastic narrative of their own, which involved Thor, a ship wreck and a missing weapon! All the pupils decided how their story would go and they created amazing work they should be proud of. To aid this creation, we enjoyed many activities such as acting out our very own battles, searching the school for missing dragons, reading around the campfire and experiencing our very own shipwreck!

This has been a really enjoyable unit of work and each child has worked very hard. We can’t wait to see what adventures next term has in store for us, but we will not soon forget all the fun we have had in Spring 2.

What The Student Says

"In my story Thor had his hand stolen because that was his weapon!"

What the Teacher says

We have really enjoyed this interesting and exciting unit of work, and it has been fantastic to see the children so engaged with this text. They should be incredibly proud of the hard work they have put into each element of their writing, and it is wonderful to see them sharing their ideas and work with each other. We are so excited to see what the next half term brings, and we hope to see lots more drama, art and fun throughout all of our lessons!
