This week, the focus is spellings. For the activities below, think about the strategies that you use in class. Do you segment the word, create a spelling pyramid, or perhaps create a funny rhyme using the letters from the word.

Monday 25th May 2020 - Using pronouns

We use pronouns to replace nouns. This allows us to make our writing more interesting and prevents us from repeating ourselves.

There are many different pronouns. Below is a table to help you.

Use the following link as another resource to help you understand pronouns and how to use them:

Monday 27th April 2020 - Using Subordinate Clauses

We use subordinate clauses to create complex sentences. They extend a simple sentence by adding more information to the sentence. You can identify the subordinate clause by identifying the conjunction.

Remember: Subordinate clauses can also be written at the start f a sentence (and therefore become a fronted adverbial phrase).

Use the information below to help you and then have a go at the work (PDF copies will be at the bottom of this section for printing).

Using a or an - Revision 31.03.20

Determiners are usually words that can be found before the noun. They determine certain things to do with the noun - how many you have (quantifiers), specific and non specific (a, an and the) and possession (relating to who the noun belongs to).

Please find a progression of activities below relating to 'a' and 'an'. Remember, the general rule is that you would use 'a' before a consonant and 'an' before a vowel. However, there are exceptions! It depends on how the first letter of the noun sounds. If it sounds like the letter name or sounds like a consonant, 'a' will need to be used. If there is a silent letter at the start of the noun, e.g hour, you will need to use 'an'. 

Activity 1 - Use 'a' and 'an' correctly to fill in the missing words.

Activity 2 - Identify the correct determiner and then have a go at writing your own sentences

Activity 3 - Exceptions to the rule

Activity 4

Read the paragraph. Can you spot the mistakes?
