Learning Objective: To read and spell words with alternative pronunciations and form letters correctly

Good luck with your spelling test this week! Let me know how many you got so I can do the Super Star Speller certificates.

English

Learning Objective: To use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and combine words to make a sentence.

To make a capital letter on a computer, press and hold down the ‘shift’ key (the ones in blue on the picture) at the same time as you press the letter you want to be a capital. This works on a phone or ipad keyboard too. If you are using a phone or an ipad, it usually starts typing with a capital letter anyway!

If you are writing down your sentences, this is how you form your capital letters:

Choose one of the pictures below and describe what you can see. Make sure you use full sentences and try to write at least four. There is an example under the first photo for you.

These pictures are all of Kerala in India, the place where our new story is from.

Example.

Rain splatters on the bridge over the river and the people walk in and out of the shops. The noisy cars beep their horns as they drive past the bushy green trees. Spices fill the air from the kitchens in the restaurants. Hopefully sunshine is about to break through the clouds and reflect on to the river.

Choose a picture and write your description. Focus on capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

If you can, email me your work or comment on the blog so I can post your work this afternoon :).
