Week 4 English
We hope you had a
lovely weekend staying in with your grown-ups.
We are looking at
writing another short story this week based on a fantastic image.
Story starter!
The books had minds of their own…
This was no ordinary library.
Books about knights and castles would gallop all
over the library, bravely and boldly ordering the other books around. The books
about thieves would sneak around, lurking behind bookshelves in the shadows.
Books about wild animals would occasionally roar and bite other books. The ones
containing stories set in the winter would often shiver, covering their
neighbours with snow and frost.
Lucy loved this place like no other. Reading was
the most exciting thing in the world here: everything she read seemed to come
alive out of the pages…
Lesson 1
LO: To infer
information from an image
There is lots of
information you can ‘read’ from an image. They can make you think and open up
your imagination.
Task
Can you answer the
questions below in your home learning books?
How
is this library different from a normal library?
What are you
favourite types of books?
If you could
choose for one of your books to come alive, which one would it be and why?
If you could be
a character in a book, who would you like to be?
If you were to
borrow every single book from your local library, would it still be a library?
In your
opinion, what makes a good book? Can you come up with a top three favourite
authors as a class?
Lesson 2
LO: To use
adjectives to describe.
An adjective, as
you know, is a describing word.
An expanded noun
phrase is typically when we place an adjective (or more than one) in front of a
known.
For example, beautiful,
blue butterfly.
Task
Can you write 10
expanded noun phrases about the library?
Lesson 3
LO: To edit and
improve sentences.
These sentences
are ‘sick’.
Some of them need
re-writing to improve tense and sense. Others are boring.
Task
Can you use your
expanded noun phrases and conjunctions to improve the sentences?
Lucy
sat in the chair.
Books
went around the big library like flying books.
There
was piles of books on the floor like towers.
A
girl was reading.
The
light was on.
