Language and Learning Grid Term 3 Week 2

Word of The Day

Write a sentence with your word of the day.

Monday: fatigue

Tuesday: adore

Wednesday: bitter

Thursday: quirky

Friday: neglect

Daily Sentence Work

Monday: Slappy the Dummy gives people goosebumps. He is scary.

Can you make these two simple sentences into a compound sentence by using a connective which is not 'and' ? (Remember FANBOYS Co-ordinating conjunctions- for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so )

Tuesday: Slappy the Dummy gives people goosebumps. He is scary.

Can you make these two simple sentences into a compound sentence by using a punctuation. This could be a semi-colon (;) or a dash (-) but not a comma (,).

Wednesday: can you fix these sick sentences? Some need punctuation and all of them need up levelling.

the waves fought against the man. He stood still. he waved his staff.

Thursday: Can you make a complex sentence?

A complex sentence must contain a subordinate clause. This is a clause that doesn’t make sense on its own.

E.g. Although the man had miraculously managed to prevent the waves from crashing down onto the people, they were still extremely frightened!

Write a complex sentence of your own.

Try starting your sentence with:

As , While, When, If, or Even though

Friday: Can you up level this sentence: 

Bob jumped.

This sentence tells me very little information. I don’t know where, why, when or how. Can you give me a little more information.

Claudia is worried.

Chapter 2: Can you find examples of cause and effect?

Eg

Cause

Effect

Alba stops in her tracks

Claudia is afraid.

She presses against Livia

Challenge Activity: You might want to do some research into what happened at Pompeii, where the story is set.

Grammar

Last week we looked at add adding -ed to make the past tense. However, that rule does not always work. For instance, the past tense of hope and hop would end up being the same. So the rule is: If you have a verb ending with a single vowel and then a single consonant, to form a regular past double the consonant before adding ‘ed.’ E.g. hop becomes hopped and hope becomes hoped. Can you work out the past tense of the following verbs

1) stop

11) hate

2) shop

12) use

3) star

13) quit

4) stare

14) slim

5) tap

15) hug

6) tape

16) step

7) mop

17) drop

8) mope

18) stir

9) pin

19) save

10) pine

20) close

Writing: The Tsunami

Topic

Topic research project: Natural Disasters Due 31 January 2121 23;59 pm

Instructions

Our topic this term is about Natural Disasters. I am giving you a challenge to investigate a natural disaster. It could be about earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, avalanches, flooding, landslides, etc. you could write about one of these in general terms or you could look at an actual event.

You will need to find out the falling:

· What causes the event

· What effect it has on people

· What effect it has on animals

· What effect it has on the landscape

· Why Scotland is less likely to suffer devastating natural disasters than some other countries.

Your big challenge is to find a way of presenting what you have learnt digitally and in a fun way. You might want to type up a report using word or even make it up in the form of a newspaper report, make a pamphlet on Publisher, make a PowerPoint, film a news report or if you know how to use Scratch, you could present it as an Interactive story.

I realise that PowerPoints and films can be big files that are not easy to download on here but there are ways round that, and I can talk you through that when you are finished your project. Just have fun investigating and as always try your best.
