English First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 10

This week, we will review everything we have learned in English First Additional Language. We will focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We will use short texts to help us understand how to form sentences correctly and use punctuation. It is important to check our understanding by discussing what we read and writing our thoughts clearly.

Let's read a short text together: 'The cat sat on the mat. It was sunny outside.' Notice how each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. When we write, we must remember to use spacing between words and proper punctuation at the end of each sentence.

Now, let's work together to build sentences. I will say a few words, and you will help me create a sentence. For example, if I say 'dog', 'run', and 'park', we can make the sentence: 'The dog runs in the park.' Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Let's try a few more together!

For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Make sure to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you finish writing, read your sentences to a partner and check if they can understand what you wrote. This will help you practice your reading and speaking skills!
