Good morning boys and girls, 😃
Don’t worry if you feel like you’re having one of those days where you wake up and there’s a little cloud on you. ☁ 🌈 If you’re feeling a little bit down and your mood just isn’t right. Sometimes we can’t put our finger on why we feel like this but exercise and fresh air always helps. 🌲
You can ‘Take a moment’ to go to a special place with Mrs McMillan and use this relaxation activity to do just that. Use your imagination, create a safe, peaceful, happy place where you can take a break.
You could even draw out what your special, happy place looks like. Draw what you see, hear, smell, taste there and add details to the drawing. You could even put up the picture on your wall so that you can see it at night before you go to bed. 😴
Here are today’s lessons…
Thursday 30th April
Warm up task: Spelling practise ✏
- I can read, write and order the letters in my spelling words accurately.
Word list: time, came, made, your, about, house, said, have, like, here. (revise)
Task: Record your date and title. Practise your spelling words in your jotter. You can choose an Activity from your grid. This could be: rainbow spelling, bubble words, ABC words (alphabetical order), curly words, word shapes, capital and lower case words or simply write out 4x in your jotter. Check over your work!
Main Activity – Sentences and Phrases
- I can identify that a sentence must contain a verb and a phrase is a short group of words
- I can include capital letters and full stops in my sentences.
Practice
Read the information in the text about Sentences and Phrases twice.
A sentence is a group of words that makes sense on it own. Every sentence must contain a verb.
A phrase is a group of words that does not make sense on its own. Most phrases are short and do not contain a verb.
- Which of the following are sentences? Which are phrases?
- Underline the verb in each sentence. (describe actions)
Making sure
- Choose a suitable phrase from the box to complete each sentence.
- Make up 6 sentences and include one of the phrases from the text box in each one.
Practise your Punctuation
Rewrite these pairs of sentences. Swap/ exchange the verbs in each pair so that the sentences make sense. For example, in sentence 1, laid and fried are the verbs (action words) so swap them over so that the sentences now make sense:
- The lady fried an egg. The hen laid an egg.
Complete 1-6. Read and check over your work then traffic light.🚦
