Grammar: Revision of adjectives, verbs, nouns and adverbs,

Can you pick out the adjectives, nouns verbs and adverbs from this passage?

20 minutes reading a day.

Mr Peter’s house was old and decrepit. He had lived there for years and it was obvious he had never cared for it. The crooked gate hung off its hinges and creaked noisily in the wind, annoying the neighbours. A winding garden path could just be seen in the overgrown garden, underneath the damp moss and intertwining weeds.

English: Today you are going to write a reply postcard from Willie’s mum to him. Would she like the boy he is turning into? Think carefully about how she would speak to him (but bear in mind the fact that the postman could read the postcard!) Perhaps she would only show her true feelings in a letter…

Maths: Today we are going to look at time intervals. Can you have a look on your television at the TV guide? Can you pick some of your favourite television programmes and work out how long they last? If you can’t access this on your TV, there are lots of online TV guides. If you are doing any baking this week, can you work out when you are baking what time you will need to get your bake out of the oven, depending on how long it needs to be in the oven for and when it went in? Challenge: Can you find a bus timetable online? Can you work out how long it takes to get from one place to another?

Topic: Today, you can go back to the list of activities on Japan, can you find out something different today about Japan? How are you going to present your work? I look forward to seeing all of your amazing creations and information you have found out!

Take care,

Miss Coates.
