Plural Nouns



Hello everyone,

Today we are going to be learning all about Plural Nouns. Nouns can be singular, meaning there is only one of them or plural, when there is more than one of them.

For most words, we can show a plural by adding an s to the end of the word. For words like apple, pumpkin or pie we add an s and they become apples, pumpkins and pies.

For words that end with s, ss, sh, ch, x or z adding an es to the end or the word. For words like bus, brush, church, fox or buzz we an es and they become buses, brushes, churches, foxes and buzzes.

For some words, we use a completely different word altogether. For words like person and child, we change them completely and they become people and children.

For your first challenge, look at the table I've made and make your own one in your Home Learning books or using the computer. Then, add the nouns I've written in my list to the right categories. I've done some on my table already to show you how to do it. When, you think you've added everything to the right category, you can email a photo or your work to yr2@grange.harrow.sch.uk.

Nouns to sort; train, bus, stamp, cake, church, brush, box, pencil, pen, lunch, wish, fizz...and any more that you can think of or find where you are right now.

For your second challenge, read the sentences I've written below and spot the mistakes I've made, there are five mistakes to spot, when you find them you can email them to me or submit them via class charts.

1. The wild girl learnt to fish with the beares.
2. She also learnt to play with the foxs.
3. She didn't like to have brushs to comb her hair.
4. The persons saw her sleeping in a dark, damp tree hollow.
5. Wild animals don't wear watchs.

Have a great day everyone and stay safe! Tomorrow we will learn about verbs.

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 . There are lots of other examples; bowling ball, walking stick, climbing frame are all examples of use a word with an - ing suffix as an adjective .

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 .

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...
