English Home Language - Term 4 - Week 9

Today, we will explore new words that help us describe things around us. Vocabulary is important because it allows us to express our thoughts clearly. We will read a short story together and identify new words. After reading, we will discuss what these words mean and how we can use them in sentences.

Let's look at the sentence: 'The cat is on the mat.' Notice how we have a subject ('the cat'), a verb ('is'), and a prepositional phrase ('on the mat'). We will practice changing this sentence by replacing 'cat' with 'dog' and 'mat' with 'rug'. This helps us understand how to build sentences using different words while keeping the structure intact.

In groups, you will receive a set of picture cards and word cards. Your task is to match the pictures with the correct words. For example, if you have a picture of a tree, you should find the word 'tree'. Once you have matched all the cards, we will share our matches with the class and discuss why each word fits its picture.

Now it's your turn to write! Using the words we learned today, write three sentences about your favorite animal. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After writing, illustrate your sentences with a drawing of your animal. We will share our sentences and drawings with the class.
