Books perfect for children in Year 4; either as class books or books to read as a one off at the end of a day... Give me your best! #readingrocks #readingforpleasure #PrimaryRocks #edutwitter

I'll start with "Leon and The Place Between" - stunning vocabulary and beautiful illustrations perfect for a creative writing task!

This was recommended to me earlier in the year, such a beautiful story! Not too long either, some class books never quite get finished in my class

We read this as part of our digestive system topic (loose link I know) and although it's a simple story, the kids loved it. Who doesn't love about about poo? Even better creative writing task, the up-levelling was so good!

Adore this book for poetry or just for fun at the end of a day! Classic fairy tales and stories with twists you just don't see coming

Teaching Vikings and Anglo-Saxons? This is perfect for a Fiction text, following the wonderful adventure of Sigurd. Still some BBC clips around too if you want to end with the film

I'm kinda cheating with this one as it's ideal for any year group, but I love using it in Forest School with my Year 4s Great task opener, before they explore the space, find a stick of their own and use their imagination as to what the stick might be instead...
