This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due in on Thursday 11 October.
I can use a range of sentence structures.
The children have been given a story starter for them to continue. So far this year, we’ve learnt about different ways we can start our sentences, using conjunctions to extend our ideas and using commas to clarify meaning. We’ve also been working on reducing the number of errors in our work, especially squashed sentences.
Ask us what a squashed sentence (sometimes called a ‘run-on’ sentence) is. Here’s an example: He walked through the door it was amazing.
In their piece of writing, the children should try to show off the skills we’ve practised so far and try to make as few mistakes as possible.
