Colourful Semantics
Remember our colourful semantics from our English lessons? Well now you’ve practised the basics, have a go at using some adjectives in your sentences. Remember, adjectives help to describe nouns – it may be to do with shape, size, colour or personality. Have a go at writing a selection of sentences – make some funny ones up if you like! I will do one for you…
You can see that the word ‘red’ describes the swing (noun) and it adds more detail to the sentence so the reader can imagine more accurately.
What is wrong with this sentence? (Clue: check at the end – what has been missed?) Make sure your sentences have everything we need.
Don’t forget your gorgeous, neat cursive handwriting!

Answers at end of each week’s slides. We are now in week 5.

Spelling Common Exception Words
These are the common exception words for Year 1 and Year 2. The idea is that by the end of Year 2 (July) children should be able to read and spell all of these words with confidence. Learn one or two a day, keep going back over them, make up a game based on some of these words – be as creative as you like! 🙂

PE
We really hope that you are able to keep on being fit and healthy! Check out this video of a familiar face leading a remote PE lesson! Don’t have a ball at home? You can use a pair of socks rolled into a ball (ask your grown up how to do this!) Balled up socks will also work well if you’re doing this inside your house as it won’t damage anything!
