We will be recapping how to use and when to use a full stop, question mark and exclamation mark. We will be talking about how each sentence starts with a capital letter.

The children will start to come across ASBO words which are and , so but and or. We use these words to improve short sentences and make them longer.

We will also we looking at a variety of sentences such as commands, statements, questions. We will be talking about the question words: When? Why? Who? What? How? Which? Where?

Topic
Being British

In our topic 'Being British' we will be labelling key places in Britain that are important in some way to us personally - such as the home of a favourite football team, home town of a family member. The children will be bringing home a homework sheet that they will hopefully be able to record places in Britain that mean something to them, which will help with this map work next week.

 Have good week everyone,
The 1 / 2 team.
