Literacy: We have been looking at nouns, verbs and adjectives
Nouns and adjectives game: A Game for 2 players. Face each other, one person starts by saying a noun. The other responds with an adjective that fits that noun, e.g. “Chair,” followed by, “Comfy.” Then the first person says another noun and the second person responds, again, with an adjective that goes with it. The game continues until either person loses. The person that wins stays up and faces a new challenger. The winning person must now take on the opposite role. So if they said nouns before they are now adjectives and vice versa.
A person loses if:
- they take too long to answer a question;
- they say, “erm,” before answering;
- they repeat a word that has already been said in the round by either child;
- they say an incorrect word (one that either isn’t a noun or adjective or an adjective that doesn’t fit.
Maths: Practise your times tables. Everyone knows what times tables they have to cover. On Friday 2nd September, we will have a tables test. Here are some websites to help you practise or you can make the TGTs we made in class. Please record in your homework jotter how you prefer to practise your tables, the websites you visit or if you find a really useful website also write it down in your jotter for others to try.
