Adjectives

Hello everyone,

Today we are going to be learning about adjectives.

Adjectives are words that describe nouns. If you remember, nouns are people, places and things so we often need to use adjectives to give people more information about those people, places and things.

For your first challenge, you're going to play a ten word challenge. Pick something in the place you are right now and use ten words to describe that thing. Remember; it can be a person, place or thing so you describe one of your grown-ups, your kitchen or even your television. See if a grown-up, sibling or someone else in the place you are right now can guess what thing you are describing using your adjectives. I chose something in my house and these are the words that describe it: Can you guess what it is? You can email with your guess to the school email (yr2@grange.harrow.sch.uk)

small, cute, furry, cheeky, silly, fast, energetic, crazy, hungry, impatient

All of the words you used there were adjectives and you were using them to describe. You can also use adjectives to specify. This is very important when you are giving instructions, information or even in writing a story when it is important to know which noun you are talking about. 

For example; if we were going to play dodgeball we would need a large, round, soft ball. But that ball wouldn't be useful to go bowling, then we'd need a heavy, hard ball. And, I definitely wouldn't want to play tennis with that ball because I'd need a furry, bouncy, small ball. Sports would be very different if we didn't use adjectives to specify the nouns we need.

For your second challenge, I have some sentences that need an adjective to specify. See if you can think of the right adjective to finish the sentence, the first one is done for you. You can email your answers to the school email (yr2@grange.harrow.sch.uk) or send them via classcharts.com

1. You need a heavy ball for bowling.
2. You can only fly a kite on a __________ day.
3. You need a __________ pencil to colour The Joker's hair.
4. You should put unsafe things on a __________ shelf.


There's an adjectives quiz to do as well. There is a link below

Have a great day and stay safe!

Hidden Adjectives

Hello everyone, Yesterday we looked at simple adjectives that are used to describe  or specify . Today, we are going to look at some adjectives that are a little bit trickier to spot. Have a look at my shoes. I'm sure you remember them from PE lessons as they are pretty hard to forget. There is a lot of adjectives to describe them; pink, bright, shiny, silver and there is also another adjective: running . Running looks like a verb and normally it is but in this example it describes the shoes by telling us what type they are; running shoes .

Conditional Conjunctions

Hello everyone, Today we are going to work on another type of conjunction: conditional conjunctions. Conditional conjunctions are used to show the times when or if something will happen. These are the conditions. In a sentence we start with a piece of information I like playing football  followed by the conditions for that piece of information to be true when it is raining . In that sentence the piece of information is only true when we give it with the matching piece of information.

Indefinite Articles

Hello everyone, I hope you've had some fun during the school holidays and that you stayed safe. Today, we are going to learn about indefinite articles. It sounds tricky but it's actually just the proper name for something you already know a and an. These are called indefinite articles because the noun they are related to is not specific. If I ask you to get a pencil, it doesn't matter which pencil you get. Just like if I ask you to get a piece of paper, it really doesn't matter which one. Most of the time we can use a as our indefinite article. In fact, any word that starts with a consonant or consonant sound can have a as its indefinite article. Just a reminder, the consonants are B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z. Sometimes we use an as our indefinite article. In fact, any words that start with a vowel or a vowel sound can have an as its indefinite article. Just a reminder, the vowels are A, E, I, O, U. For today...
