English Home Language - Term 2 - Week 8

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned in English this term. We will focus on different skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We will also practice using correct punctuation and spacing in our sentences. This is important because it helps us communicate our ideas clearly.

Let's read a short text together: 'The sun was shining brightly in the sky. The children played happily in the park. They laughed and ran around, enjoying the warm weather.' Notice how each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark. This is how we show that we are finished with a thought.

Now, let's work together to create sentences. I will give you a few words: 'dog', 'run', 'park'. Can anyone help me make a sentence using these words? Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. For example, 'The dog runs in the park.' Let's try a few more sentences together.

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, read your sentences to a partner and check if they can understand your ideas. This will help you practice your speaking skills as well.
