English Home 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 read short texts together and discuss them. This will help us check our understanding and practice our skills. Remember, it is important to use correct punctuation and spacing when we write.

Let's read a short story together. The story is about a cat named Whiskers who loves to play outside. After reading, I will ask you questions like, 'What does Whiskers like to do?' and 'Where does Whiskers play?' This will help us practice our listening and speaking skills. Remember to answer in complete sentences, such as 'Whiskers likes to play outside.'

Now, let's practice writing sentences. I will give you some words, and you will help me put them together to form a complete sentence. For example, if I say 'The dog runs fast', you will write it down and remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. We will do this together for a few sentences, and I will help you with punctuation.

For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, think about what you wrote and be ready to share it with a partner. This will help you reflect on your writing and improve your speaking skills.
