SPaG – Prepositions

Prepositions can tell you where a noun is in relation to something else. E.g. The dog ran under the table. The hot air balloon flew over the town.

Prepositions can also tell you when something happened in relation to something else. E.g. I brushed my teeth before I went to bed.

He completed his homework after he finished his dinner.

You can use both types of prepositions in one sentence. E.g. After walking for miles she rested on a hill. ‘After’ tells you when she rested and ‘on’ tells you where she rested.

Complete the sentences below with a preposition so it makes sense.

1. “Dinner’s ready!” said dad as he placed the pizza                                 the table.

2. Daniel always goes to breakfast club                                         school starts.

3. You have a doctor’s appointment                                   4 o’clock.

4.                             the horrible weather, the BBQ was cancelled.

5.                            , we went on holiday to Greece.

6. Lucy hid                            the wardrobe when they played hide and seek.

7. Ben finally found his missing toy; it was                                     his bed the whole time.

8. Courtney had to squeeze                          the crowd of people to get to her friends.

Working Together to Save Our Oceans The BBC programme Blue Planet 2 sparked an outcry about the health of our oceans and the huge threat caused by plastics, but lots of people around the world are working hard to help solve this problem. Think about how you and your family can do your bit to help preserve our oceans by keeping a ‘plastic diary’ recording how much single-use plastic the family uses – see diary template below.

If you haven’t already, look at the Special report article (10) from First News for more information.

Write down at least one thing that your family will do to use less plastic from now on.

Tues

Spelling -ous

Adding the suffix –ous turns a noun into an adjective. It means ‘full of’. For example: Dangerous means ‘full of danger’.

Rules:

When you add –ous to a word ending with ‘e’, drop the ‘e’, then add –ous. E.g. adventure becomes adventurous

When you add –ous to a word ending in ‘y’, replace the ‘y’ with ‘i’, then add –ous. E.g. fury becomes furious

When you add –ous to a word that ends with ‘our’, ‘our’ becomes ‘or’, then add –ous.  E.g. Humour becomes humorous.

Correctly add the suffix –ous to the following words.

Are there any which don’t follow the rules? Check in a dictionary.

Thurs

Look at the image below. Can you continue this story about the diver’s mission under the sea? Follow the link or see the picture below. https://www.pobble365.com/the-cave

The only sound the diver could hear was his own breathing. It was a strangely relaxing sound; one of the reasons Mike enjoyed being underwater so much. Mike knew, however, that he mustn't let his senses switch off; it could be incredibly dangerous diving at this depth if you stopped concentrating even for one minute.

Despite enjoying himself, Mike concentrated on the mission he’d be tasked with. He shone his spotlight down towards the murky depths below, and with a powerful push of his flippers he began the descent…

Submarine Sculptures - Look at pictures of real submarines for inspiration and create your own model submarine by recycling different materials found at home e.g. plastic bottles, paint, coloured pencils, string, paper mache, sweet wrappers, tin foil and cardboard. Alternatively, you could design and create a boat to carry a load on the ocean using junk modelling.

SPaG – Possessive apostrophes

A possessive apostrophe shows that something belongs to or is connected to something else.

Singular Noun: A singular noun is a noun referring to just one person or thing. For example: Cat.

When you want to show that something belongs to that person or thing, you add a possessive apostrophe and an s. For example: The cat’s tail was fluffy. ‘s shows that the tail belongs to the cat.

Top tip: If a singular noun already ends in s, you don’t need to add another s. You can just add an apostrophe at the end. For example: Charles’ cat was naughty.

Rewrite each sentence below so it includes an apostrophe to show possession.  E.g. Conor is looking at the bike which belongs to Isla = Conor is looking at Isla’s bike.

1. The car that belongs to Layla is the fastest car.
2. We all like playing with the dog that belongs to Luke.
3. The kittens which belong to James are very cute.
4. The long, warm coat which belongs to Martin is hanging up in the hall.
5. These are the parents that belong to Lucy. 
6. The lead belonging to the dog.

Tues

Spelling -sion

The suffix –sion is often used to change a verb into a noun. For example: Explode becomes explosion

Rules: The –sion suffix is often added to words that end in de, se, d, or s. You need to drop these letter(s) before you add –sion. For example: divide = division, revise = revision, expand = expansion, express = expression

How many other words can you think of that end in –sion?

“Houston come in. Houston come in. This is Apollo 11. We have touched down on the surface of the moon. Over.”

“Apollo 11, this is Houston. You are clear to begin your mission. Over.”

Gazing around in a state of awe and wonder, the astronaut stood and admired what he saw. Outer space was a thing of pure beauty: a never-ending chasm of blackness, illuminated by stars that sparkled like beautiful diamonds.

He took a few steps forward, smiling at the joy of the feeling of weightlessness that never ceased to amaze him. Happy that his oxygen levels were high and his friends were close by, the astronaut set about his mission.

All seemed to be going well, but then the warning alarm on the ship sounded…

“Houston. Houston come in! Houston, we have a problem…”

Dancing into Space - Listen to Holst’s 'The Planets'. Select a planet and decide what you think that planet would be like. Create a dance/ set of movements to go with the music which will portray this. Maybe get a member of your family to take a video to share with other family members.

Apostrophes for Contractions

Sometimes we contract words to make them easier to say or write. This means that we combine them together and make them smaller.

For example: She will = she’ll

You are = you’re

The apostrophe takes the place of the letters that have been removed. In the example above, that is the letter ‘a’ from ‘are’.

Write out the contracted (shortened) form of the words in the list.

Now write your own paragraph about someone who inspires you. For example, a teacher, a parent, or a brother or sister. Aim to write eight sentences and use at least five contractions. When you’ve finished, circle all your contractions. How many did you use?

'Fronted' adverbials are 'fronted' because they have been moved to the front of the sentence, before the verb. In other words, fronted adverbials are words or phrases at the beginning of a sentence, used to describe the action that follows. A comma is normally used after an adverbial.

Before the sun came up, he ate his breakfast

All night long, she danced

As fast as he could, the rabbit hopped

Under the clock, he stood and waited

By the train station, we met.

Fronted adverbials are in blue.
