Good morning – hope you’re all bright and breezy, ready for another day of learning adventures!

First of all congratulations to PM for reaching level 3 on Epic and SR for making good progress through level 2. You can now change your avatars and frames if you want to.

Also I want to congratulate LI and Co B for their success on Sumdog so far this week. Keep up this great effort and everyone please remember that there are lots of coins to be awarded.

Literacy

1. Spelling – Sumdog challenge using ow words sounding like O.
2.  Focus on Pronouns.  We have learnt how to use pronouns to avoid the repetition of the same nouns in sentences.

This link takes you to information about the use of pronouns.

Just look at the 2 videos and practice activity 1.

Write the date and I can use pronouns in sentences correctly.

Here are some very common pronouns that we have talked about in class.

Practice

Write out the sentences, putting the correct pronoun into the spaces. Read your sentence  – does it make sense?

1.    I like these biscuits.  _________ are my favourites.
2.   Jo put her book down. In the morning ____ could not find _____ anywhere!
3.   Mr Jones ran after Steve and me.   ______ chased _____ down the road.

7.  The lady gave a present to her brother.  ______ wrapped _____ before ______ gave ______ to ______.
8. The thieves hid _____________  so that the police could not find _______.

The Making Sure section concentrates on the I and me pronouns which can be confusing.

Handy hint – look at the examples
