Squirrels Class: Year 1 and Year 2 Wednesday 22/04/20
Date: 22nd Apr 2020 @ 10:13am
Wednesday 22nd April - Good morning Year 1 and Year 2. Hopefully you are now starting to get back into the routine of home learning. Remember to visit Spelling Shed as I can see most of you are not using this. Your spellings are set up on this every Friday. Today is a history focus and I'm pleased to hear lots of you have started to learn about Florence Nightingale. Today, you also have writing games which seem to have escaped your learning packs! So here is the game for today.
Waterfalls- goodle an image of a waterfall
Waterfalls are one of nature's absolute triumphs.
English

Grammar game: Consequences
- Each player has a piece of paper.
- As instructed, each player writes down a predetermined type of word (see below).
- Each player then folds the paper to hide the word and passes the paper to the left.
- By the end, you have created some new wacky sentences, but have also hd fun revisiting all of the different word classes and their jobs.
Here is a the pattern I used and some of the outcomes (please note that the definitions are for how the words are being used in the context of this activity).
- Determiner (specifies a noun): e.g. a, the, this, that, one, his, etc.
- Adjective (describes a noun): e.g. fluffy, brown, enormous, orange, etc.
- Noun (person, place or thing): e.g. giraffe, London, penguin, boy, etc.
- Verb (to be, to do, to have): e.g. jumped, ate, ran, skipped, etc.
- Adverb (describes when, where or how): e.g. quickly, slowly, cautiously, etc.
- Preposition (show relation in time or place): e.g. under, above, on top of, etc.
- Determiner (specifies a noun): e.g. a, the, this, that, one, his, etc.
- Adjective (describes a noun): e.g. fluffy, brown, enormous, orange, etc.
- Noun (person, place or thing): e.g. giraffe, London, penguin, boy, etc.
Some of my silly sentences:
- That gruesome London swims slowly on top of the smelly America.
- His crazy giraffe ran weirdly under that happy snake.
- That sneaky hippogriff jumped energetically on your smelly trampoline.
- Five live lollipops farted naughtily below my graceful waterfall.
