Handwriting and Spellings
Learning Objective: To read quickly and accurately, words that have alternative sounds.
Thank you to Hiyab who has spotted that I have written April! It is May, I am very sorry!
English
Learning Objective: To add suffixes (er and est) to words.
This is the last page that we read together.
It was fatter than the pigs.
The pumpkin had grown taller than the fence.
The words fatter and taller both have ‘er’ at the end. We use the suffix ‘er’ to help us to compare.
Mrs Winston is shorter than me.
Azealia is taller than Anastasia.
Can you write sentences with comparative adjectives. There are some adjectives below for you to use. Remember to add ‘er’ to the end to make them comparative ones.
big, nice, long, high, small, warm, happy
When we compare things we need to explain what is the most. The suffix we use for this is ‘est’.
Miss Barr is the happiest in the class.
It is warmest at lunchtime.
You will see that when a word ends in ‘y’ like happy, you have to take it off and change it for an ‘i’ before adding your suffix:
happy –> happier
happy –> happiest.
Can you use the same adjectives to write sentences with superlative adjectives? Just add ‘est’ to make it a superlative.
big, nice, long, high, small, warm, happy
I can’t wait to see your sentences!
Im biger than Stevie she is the smallest
lucas is the bigest i am smaller
its nicer when its warmer.
chocolate is the nicest
I like beieng the longest and happiest.
God is higher than the highest mountain.
I love your sentences Thomas! I agree that it is nicer when it is warmer and chocolate is the nicest!
Miss Barr is bigger than Miss Winston. I am the nicest boy. My mom has the longest hair than me. The Temple of India is higher than my house. The Statue of Brazil is smaller than my house. This summer is the warmest summer ever. I am the happiest boy in class than home.
Well done Hiyab. You are working very hard. Your sentence about your Mom’s hair needs a little work :).
You could say…My Mom’s hair is longer than mine. or…My Mom’s hair is the longest in the house.
Usually the superlative suffix -est is when we are comparing more than 2 things.
My Mom’s hair is the longest in the house.
My hair is the longest. In. The house
Is it longer than Mommy’s?
Hi miss you okay
