English First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 8

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned this term. We will focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We will use short texts to help us understand how to build sentences and use punctuation correctly. This will help us become better communicators.

Let's look at the sentence: 'The cat is on the mat.' Notice how we have a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. We can change this sentence to: 'The dog is in the house.' This shows how we can use different words but still follow the same structure. Let's practice identifying the capital letters and full stops in sentences together.

I will read a short story about a boy and his dog. After I finish, I want you to tell me what happened in the story. Pay attention to the details. After sharing, we will discuss how the boy felt and what he did. This will help us practice our speaking skills and understand the story better.

Now it's your turn to write! I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you write your sentences, draw a picture of your animal. This will help you express your thoughts clearly and creatively.
