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

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 4

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

 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.
