Literacy

Remember yesterday we practised identifying command sentences and writing them.

Today we are going to practise this again and complete Activity 3.

Remember

 

Command sentences tell us to do something. Like all sentences, they always start with a capital letter. Command sentences usually end with a full stop, but they can also use exclamation marks too.

 

Commands usually start with an imperative verb, also known as a bossy verb. There are lots of different bossy verbs. Some examples of bossy verbs are: get, bring, pick, take, move, cook plus loads more.

 

Remember yesterday you wrote commands for the pirates. Look at the examples.

 
Drop the anchor now.
Collect my treasure for me.

 

Now complete Activity 3 – Bossy verbs

 

Think about other people who need to use commands in their job.

Mums and Dads give commands all the time, so do teachers, police officers, chefs, doctors, hair dressers and even football managers.

 

Choose a job that you are interested in and write up to five commands you might need to say in that job. Or write one sentence for each job (it’s up to you).

Here is an example:
 

Football manager

1. Get possession of the ball.

 

Topic - Science (Wednesday and Thursday)

 

For the next two days we will be finding out about different habitats around the world.

 

Habitats are where animals and plants live.

 

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zjnw7nb

 

The lessons will include:

• eight videos
• three activities to enhance and further learning
•  

There are videos about the following habitats:

• Polar habitats
• Woodland habitats
• Urban habitats
• Pond habitats
• Desert habitats
• Rainforest Habitats
• Ocean habitats
• Coastal habitats

 

The plants and animals in each habitat need each other to survive.

Most animals and plants live in habitats which they are suited for.

Each habitats provides for the basic needs of different animals and plants which live there.

For example: a fish lives in a pond or ocean habitat and wouldn't survive in a rainforest!

 

Watch the videos and find out about the different habitats. You can then complete the two activities. You can complete it for the same habitats or different habitats.

 

Activity 1

Make your own habitat

Get creative: draw or make your favourite habitat. Can you include some animals or plants which may live there?

 

Activity 2

Factfile

Using the information from the videos, create a factfile for a habitat (there is a sheet below or you can just make your own.)

 

Remember, you can post all your work on Class Dojo to show me what you have done. There are lots of dojo points on offer!
