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.

For you first challenge, I have started some sentences for you that you can finish off with a conditional conjunction. The first one is done for you. As always, feel free to email your work to the school email (yr2@harrow.grange.sch.uk) or submit via class charts.

I go to school when it is a weekday.
I like going to the beach when
You have to wait for the green man when
I like fruit when
You must wash your hands when

You can also use if as a conditional conjunction. We would normally use when when there is a clear time, or time based condition in our sentence when it is Tuesday, when it is the holidays. We normally use if if the conditions are not time based  if they have jam inside, if I fall over. For example, I only like doughnuts is the piece of information and if they have jam inside is the conditions. if the condition was when they have jam inside, I'd have to stop eating the doughnut as soon as I'd eaten the jam. What a waste of doughnut!

For you second challenge, try finishing these sentences using if as a conditional conjunction. The first one is done for you. Remember, if is used when the conditions are not based on time or a timed event.

I like crisps if they are salt and vinegar flavour.
I like watching movies if
I catch the bus if
I feel happy if
I don't like to turn the lights off  if

Have fun writing your sentences and remember to send them to the school email (yr2@grange.harrow.sch.uk) or submit them via class charts.

Have a great day everyone and stay safe!
Mr D.

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...

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...
