I want you to find out: Who was Jack Robinson and why is that phrase used?

Look at the fabulous weather we are having! Take advantage of this and take your learning outside. Write about the fun ways you have found to practise your spelling words and email me some photos if possible to add to our blog!! Have fun, (remember your suncream!).

Some fantastic ideas and reposnses boys and girls. Here are some of your photos that you have shared of the activities you tried. Well done.

We have been learning about Adverb Phrases. An adverb phrase is a group of words not containing a verb, which tells us how, when or where something has happened. An Adverb Pharse gives the reader a clearer picture of what is happening.

For example;

• The rocket took off in a huge burst of flames.
• Yesterday morning, I planted some seeds.
• The eagle built its nest on the mountain top.

The bold lettering shows the adverb phrases.

Write a sentence including an adverb phrase as your task this week. Try to highlight the phrase in italics or bold type or use brackets ( ) to show your understanding.

This year we have been learning about all different kinds of words, but what can you remember?

I’d like you to explain the meaning of these types of words.

1. Compound Word

2. Homophone

3. Contraction

4. Synonym

5. Suffix

6. Prefix
