Capital Letters

Hello everyone!

Today we are learning about something that is quite simple but easy to forget: Capital letters. Before we start you will need your home learning books and a pencil, so grab those now.

Now you will need to write the date and LI. They are on the next screen, so pause and you can copy them down.

LI - I can use capital letters

Now, you are ready for a starter challenge. I would like you to write all of the capital letters correctly from A all the way to Z. They are on the next screen so you can pause it and copy if there are any you are not sure about.

If I asked you where you use a capital letter I think you could tell me; at the beginning of a sentence and for a proper noun. For your first challenge, we will practise using them at the beginning of a sentence. I have done some writing on the class charts page, blogpost and description that needs capital letters. I would like you to copy them out and add the capital letters where I forgot them.

 one day, I went to the shops. it was raining but I forgot my umbrella. when I got to the shops I was very wet. luckily, the shop sold umbrellas. 

 There is another time we use a capital letter: Proper nouns. Proper nouns are people, places and things. They can be people like Anany or Nia, who have both been working very hard. Well done! They can be places like China or London. They can things like Eiffel Tower or London Eye. They are special nouns that are unique and because they are so special, they need a capital letter.

For your second challenge, you will need to check my sentences again. I remembered the capital letter at the start but I have forgotten the capital letter for the proper nouns. There are 5 proper nouns to find. As always you can email your work to (y2@grange.harrow.sch.uk) or submit via class charts. You can find the sentences on the next screen, in the description, blogpost or classcharts.
One day, I went to paris. I saw anany and nia’s amazing work. It was so exciting that I got on a plane to london. As I was flying, I saw the River thames.

Take care and have a lovely day!
Mr Deller.

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 . For your first challenge, have a look at the sentences below and see if you can spot the adjectives in them.  Warning! One is a trick! One of these sentences has no adjectives! 1. Bake a pie with cooking apples. 2. Don't fall off the climbing frame. 3. Make sure to wear

Apostrophes of Possession

Hello everyone, First of all, I'd like to say well done to Sarah, Ammar and Aynie for all the amazing work they've been doing! Today, we are going to learn about apostrophes of possession. We use an apostrophe of possession when we want to show that something belongs to someone. For example; we might say Aynie's homework, Ammar's learning or Sarah's effort. We simply put an apostrophe after the owner and then add an s. For your first challenge, think of something you know that belongs to someone you know and write a phrase using an apostrophe of possession. Here are some examples; CatMonkey's bowl Messi's boots Dragon's fire Sometimes, we can confuse apostrophes of possession and plurals. Remember: Plurals are when you have more than one of a noun and you never add an apostrophe to show more than one of a noun. For your second challenge; I've written some sentences. I would like you to add the apostrophe of possession to
