Learn
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.
They are called bossy verbs because they are verbs that tell someone to do something. For example: Fetch me some biscuits.
Watch this short video to find out more.
See how many commands you can spot in the video.
Activity 1: Spotting imperative verbs
Click on the box below and see if you can highlight all the imperative verbs.
Writing some commands
Imagine you are the captain of a pirate ship. You'll need to be very bossy and give lots of commands to make sure the other pirates are doing what they are meant to be doing.
Write four command sentences that a pirate would use.
Here are a couple of examples to help you:
Drop the anchor now.
Collect my treasure for me.
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!
Over the next two days 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!
