Everyone welcome! # Year 4 English - The Mousehole Cat ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_3785.jpeg) 13 June 2024 In our English session this morning we have been focusing on our new class novel ‘The Mousehole Cat’ by Antonia Barber. After sharing more of the story, our objective was to sequence and discuss events using a story map. The children first discussed their ideas, working in pairs to sequence pictures. Then then created a whole class word bank that included key vocabulary from the story. Finally they wrote a paragraph for each picture. The children produced some lovely writing during the session with lots of complex sentence, uplevelling their work as they went along. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_3785.jpeg) [Year 4](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3773(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-06-13-year-4-the-big-debate-should-parents-be-able-to-access-their-children-s-social-media) Previous ### [Year 4 - The Big Debate - Should parents be able to access their children’s social media? ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-06-13-year-4-the-big-debate-should-parents-be-able-to-access-their-children-s-social-media) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/unnamed_(10).jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-06-13-year-1-science-identifying-a-variety-of-common-wild-and-garden-flowers) Next ### [Year 1 Science- Identifying a Variety of Common Wild and Garden Flowers](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-06-13-year-1-science-identifying-a-variety-of-common-wild-and-garden-flowers) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
