We have found out that there are 4 types of sentences:
- Statement Sentences,
- Question Sentences,
- Exclamation Sentences,
- Command Sentences.
What type of sentences can you find in the books you are reading? Which sentence types is the most common (used most often)?
Can you write your own sentences for each type?
We found Exclamations sentences the less easiest to think of or write. Sometimes it is easy to mix up Question and Exclamation sentences.
Here is a document explaining the difference between Question and Exclamations sentences.

In our Literacy lessons we have been looking at adjectives and nouns and how to use them to make our sentences interesting for the reader.
Expanded Noun Phrases - An expanded noun phrase adds more detail to the nouns by adding one or more adjectives.
We wrote Expanded Noun Phrases (ENP) to describe what people could see, hear, smell and touch or feel during the Great Fire of London.
Here are some fun activities and songs to help you get better at using nouns and adjectives in your writing.
Can you find any adjectives and nouns in the books you are reading?

We learned about prepositions and used them when writing to describe the story setting for the Rainbow Fish. We used prepositions to start our sentences so they are more interesting for the reader.
A preposition is a word that tells you where something is.
Examples of prepositions include words like after, before, on, under, inside and outside.
