Literacy –

Literacy Starter (Can be done on Seesaw or in jotter)

Use the letters to make as many words as possible in the space of 10 mins. You may only use the letters once for each word.

Main Lesson

L.I – familiarise with proper nouns.

For literacy this morning we are going to familiarise ourselves with Proper Nouns.

Proper Nouns begin with capital letters. These include names of:

• people (Lady Gaga, Mr Craig, Dr Who, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sir Andy Murray)
• places (Paisley, Glencoats, Lagoon, The Hydro, Scotland)
• organisations (Nike, Facebook, Samsung, Oxfam, Manchester United)
• unique things (Addresses, book titles, T.V Programmes)
• days of the week (Monday, Tuesday…)
• months of the year (January, February)

Tasks

1. Put the words in the correct box (Task on Seesaw)

2. Punctuation Practice –

Add the correct punctuation including capital letters for proper nouns in each sentence.

 

3. The Proper Noun Poem – 

On Monday in December, Sally swam seriously to Swindon.

On Tuesday in January, Terry trotted timidly through Texas.

On Wednesday in February, Carol crouched cautiously in Carlisle.

You will notice that the poem follows a simple pattern (a day of the week, a month, a name and a place).

You will also notice the poem has correct use of capital letters and of course full stops. You may wish to add alliteration (Carol crouched cautiously in Carlisle).

CREATE YOUR OWN POEM (in jotters or Seesaw notes)
