The focus of this resource is selecting the appropriate punctuation to end sentences. The resource ends with a shared activity where students write some sentences about themselves, share them with a partner, and give each other feedback on their punctuation.
Task: Order fruit according to size and number of seeds, make a generalisation about the pattern and use this to predict whether a fig has small or large seeds. Assessment focus: pattern seeking.
Students look closely at a photograph taken on the beach and record their observations. They think and write about the consequences of the things they see.
In this practical task, students estimate how many multi-link blocks equal the length of two common classroom items. They then check their estimate with the blocks, then measure with a ruler.
Students create simple then compound sentences to go with a photo, using simple conjunctions to join sentences. A peer sharing task completes the resource.
