Literacy: Spelling and Grammar

Warm up Task: Adjectives Game

I can identify an adjective as a describing word
I can use adjectives in sentences accurately

Take part in one of the adjectives games. I have posted two just in case one does not work on your tablet.

Game 1: Adjective Detective https://www.childrensuniversity.manchester.ac.uk/learning-activities/languages/words/adjective-detective/

Game 2: Adjective Quiz http://resources.hwb.wales.gov.uk/VTC/ngfl/english/caerphilly/adjectives/index.htm

Main Activity – Adjectives

I can identify that an adjective is a describing word.
I can include adjectives in my sentences.

Write your Date, Title and I can neatly into your jotter. Read the text twice carefully to remind you of the rule of using adjectives. Building upon last week’s grammar work, do you remember that the first sentence has been improved by adding some adjectives to describe the dragon?

The dragon came out of the cave.

The fearsome, fiery dragon came out of the huge, dark cave.

We use adjectives to give us more information and make sentences more interesting. Building upon last week’s grammar work, complete the Making sure and Practising Punctuation of your adjectives work.

Making Sure – 1. Copy out the sentences. Leave out the adjectives. 2. Copy the sentences and put in some adjectives to make them more interesting. Underline your adjectives.

Practise your punctuation – Punctuate the passage given correctly. You will need to include capital letters and full stops. Each time you come across the adjective nice, replace it with a more interesting word.

Read and check over your work. 🔍

Finisher: READING – Read a book of your choice on Epic Books. There are so many exciting books to choose from! 📚

If you search for a book that you like, Click on the front cover to open it. Then click on the screen to read the first page. If there are too many tricky words it’s not the best book for you. If there are just a few tricky words then this is a perfect book for you. 👍🏼

PLEASE COMMENT if you have any questions or difficulties. 😀

Maths: Multiplication

I can build up the 3, 4 and 5 times table
I can use repeated addition to work out table facts (counting on in 3’s, 4’s and 5’s)

Warm up task: Counting on in 3’s, 4’s and 5’s

Write out your 3, 4 and 5 times table number track in your jotter to help you with today’s task. Try to count out loud in steps as you write them out. Check them over once you’re finished!

3 Times Table: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36.

4 Times table: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48.

5 Times Table: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.

Main Activity: Multiples of 3, 4 and 5

I can count on and back in 3’s, 4’s and 5’s accurately.
I can recall my times tables facts for 3, 4 5.

Read each question carefully. Think about what it is asking you to do and how you should write your number sentence.

Look for a number clue in the text. Count on in sets of 3’s, 4’s or 5’s to find the answer. for example:

1a. 3 x 6 = 18

2a. 4 x 3 = 12

3a. 3 x 8 = 24

4a. 4 x 5 = 20

5a. 5 x [2] = 10

You can use your number tracks from the warm up to help you count on in multiples and help you find the answer quickly and accurately.

Check over your answers and traffic-light your work. 🚦
