English Home Language - Term 3 - Week 6

This week, we will focus on reviewing what we have learned in English Home Language. We will assess our skills through various activities that involve listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is important to reflect on what we know and how we can improve. We will also practice building sentences correctly, ensuring we use proper punctuation and spacing.

Let’s look at how to build a sentence. For example, if we take the words 'dog', 'runs', and 'fast', we can create the sentence: 'The dog runs fast.' Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. This is how we ensure our sentences are clear and correct.

I will read a short story about a cat named Whiskers who goes on an adventure. After I read, we will discuss the story together. I will ask questions like, 'What did Whiskers find on his adventure?' and 'How did he feel?' This will help us practice our listening and speaking skills while sharing our thoughts.

Now it's your turn to practice writing! I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you finish, check your sentences for correct punctuation and spacing. Once you are done, we will share some of our sentences with the class.

• Use a full stop
• Start with a capital letter
• Add a question mark

Answer: Start with a capital letter

Every sentence must begin with a capital letter to indicate the start of a new thought.

• The dog.
• Runs fast.
• The dog runs fast.

Answer: The dog runs fast.

A complete sentence has a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought.

Answer: Question mark

A question mark is used to indicate that a sentence is asking something.

• Leave it as is
• Check for punctuation
• Erase it

Answer: Check for punctuation

It is important to check for punctuation to ensure your sentence is correct.

• Quickly
• Happy
• Dog

Answer: Dog

A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea, and 'dog' is a thing.

Answer: I love pizza.

This is an example of a complete sentence expressing a personal preference.

• To ignore the teacher
• To understand the lesson
• To talk to friends

Answer: To understand the lesson

Listening helps us learn and understand what is being taught.

Answer: Ask the teacher for help.

Asking for help is important when you need clarification on a topic.
