Summer Term week 6: Lesson 1 – Measure Mass

Please watch the video to support your understanding.
Try the sheet below.
Check your work against the answers (attached below).

Either print and complete, write the answers on a separate sheet or discuss the answers with an adult or older brother or sister.

Literacy

Today we are practicing correctly forming sentences by using capital letters and full stops.

This lesson includes:

a video introducing you to capital letters
a short introduction to full stops
two activities

Remember when we write sentences, we always use a capital letter at the start. We also use capital letters for I and for proper nouns (the names of people, places, languages, days of the week and countries).

Watch the video below and see if you can help Captain Capital defeat Captain Chaos.

Play along and see if you can help the Punctuation Pals.

At the end of a sentence we put punctuation, this is usually a full stop but can also be a question mark, or exclamation mark, depending on the type of sentence.

For this lesson, we're going to focus on full stops.

Activity 1: Punctuate with MC Ernie

Play the 'Punctuation' mini game on Small Town Superheroes. Use the yellow arrows to navigate to the 'Ernie' section to find the 'Punctuation' game.

Activity 2: Let's listen to a story

Next you are going to watch a video about a book called 'Sam Silver: Undercover Pirate'.

Before watching the video, write three sentences or discuss with your Mum, Dad, brother or sister, explaining what you think it might be about. Remember to use capital letters and full stops.

Once you've written your sentences, watch the video below.

Now you've watched the video and you know what the story is about, look back on your sentences - how close were you to guessing correctly?

Now, write three more sentences that would describe the story to someone who doesn't know it, or again you can just discuss it with your Mum, Dad, brother or sister.

Topic (Monday and Tuesday)

Let’s find out about the continent of South America. Can you find it on a world map?
