English Week 14
Good Morning Year 1!
On this post there are four
different English Activities to complete this week.
Last week you created your own
superheroes! This week we are going to write about where they live. It could be
a secret lair, a cave, a school or any place you can imagine.
We are still being creative this
week.
Lesson
1
LO: To imagine and draw a setting
For our first lesson we are going to be really creative and imagine our
superhero in a setting. Superheroes can have unusual bases so think as
carefully as you can.
Here are some pictures to give you some ideas.
Task
Can you draw your superhero’s base?
Add labels to remember what you have put in there.
Example
Gadget station
Car
Computer
Science lab
Lesson 2
LO: To create a word bank
When we describe a setting, it is good to use our senses to help us.
Let’s say you are your superhero and you are in your secret base.
What can you see?
What can you hear?
Task
Can think of 5 things you can see and 5 things you
can hear? Record them in a table like the one below.

Lesson
3
LO: To use adjectives to describe
It is
important to use adjectives to describe.
We are going
to use the nouns that you recorded yesterday to create expanded noun phrases.
An expanded
noun phrase is when we use one or more adjective in front of a noun to
describe.
For example,
blue butterfly or beautiful blue butterfly.
Task
Can you write at least 7 expanded noun phrases to
describe your setting? Use your learning from yesterday.
Example
New, shiny gadgets
State of the art computer
Quiet drops of running water
Shrieking bats flapping their wings
Lesson

LO: To write a settings description
Today we are going to bring our learning together.
We are going to write full sentences that have...
Capital letters
Full stops
Expanded noun phrases
Adjectives
Sounds for spelling
Finger spaces
Best handwriting
Task
Can you put your expanded noun phrases into full sentences to describe
your superhero’s secret base?
Try to write at least 6 sentences.
Example
In the corner, was a pile of new, shiny gadgets and next to them was a
state of the art computer. When everything was quiet she could hear the quiet
drops of running water. Her secret base was deep under the ground because she
didn’t want anyone to find it.
Remember to use your writing toolkit and try your best.
