Today, we will learn new words that we can use in our everyday conversations. Vocabulary is important because it helps us express ourselves better. 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 sleeping.' We can identify the subject (the cat) and the action (is sleeping). Now, let's change the sentence to: 'The dog is barking.' Notice how we changed the subject but kept the structure. This shows us how to build sentences using different words while maintaining correct punctuation.
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' and place it next to the picture. Once you finish, we will share our matches with the class and discuss the meanings of the words.
Now it's your turn to write! Using the new words we learned today, write three sentences in your exercise books. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After writing, draw a picture that represents one of your sentences. This will help you connect words with their meanings visually.
