Our first writing unit in Year 4 is based around the book 'The Baker by the Sea' by Paula White.  Children discover what life was like in a small coastal village after WW2 through the eyes of a young boy who questions why is dad chooses to be a baker rather than a brave fisherman.  Pupils have the opportunity to write in a variety of genres including creating their own job applications and producing a persuasive brochure which encourages tourists to visit 'The Village by the Sea'.
