Hello Primary 3, I hope you all had a lovely weekend!
Details of your homework for this week can be found below.
Literacy
In Primary 3 we have been learning more about sentences.
A run-on sentence is two or more clauses (groups of words that express a thought) put together.
Run-on sentence example: I went to the beach with my family it was so much fun.
Teaching run on sentences can be accomplished in three easy ways:
1. Add punctuation between the clauses to make separate sentences.
Example: I went to the beach with my family. It was so much fun.
2. Add a connective to the sentence. Some common connectives that P3 should already be able to use are: and, but, so or because.
Example: We swam in the ocean but it was so cold!
3. Use a comma to separate items in a list.
Example: I like to run, swim, and play at the beach.
