SPAG (15 minutes): Prepositional Phrases
Prepositional phrases are really useful for writing descriptions of places or events. A prepositional phrases is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or a pronoun. These can either be used within the sentence or as an opener.
Here are some examples.
The boy near the window is a football player.
Under the crashing waves, a school of dolphins swam happily.
Task 1 – add a prepositional phrases to complete these sentences.
The girl hid ____________________________ during a game of hide and seek.
On Wednesday, Darcy sprinted __________________________ to get to the dinner hall first.
_____________________________ mum stored the vacuum cleaner.
_____________________________ planes flew taking passengers on holiday.
Task 2 – Now create four sentences of your own. Two of the sentences must have a prepositional phrases as an opener and the other two sentences must have the prepositional phrases within the sentence.

Task –
Reading
VIPERS task –
For reading this afternoon I would like you to read a book to an adult. Record the following in your writing book.
Whilst reading, please can you select some tricky vocabulary words from your text and clarify these words. What do they mean? Why are they used? Use the internet to help you if you don’t know what they mean.
Also, whilst reading, look at some difficult explanation phrases you might not understand and ask a parent what they mean. If you are still struggling, type it in google and write down what you find.
At the end of your reading session, I would like you to summarise what has happened. What did you learn? What did you not expect?
When you’ve done that, take some time to just relax and read for another 5 or 10 minutes. Enjoy your reading time.
Science
Earth and Space
We are moving onto our new topic in Science which is Earth and Space. Today’s lesson is all about recapping the planets and finding facts about each planet.
Can you remember the names and order of the 8 planets? Remember, Pluto is not classed as a planet no more because it was too small. Therefore, it is now identified as a dwarf planet.
Your task today is to draw the planet, name it and then research facts about each planet. If you do not want to draw it, please use the template below to help you. These are the certain facts I want you to find out.
- How many moons it has?
- When it was discovered?
- How many miles from the sun?
- What it is made of?
- The temperature of it?
- How many days are in a year on that planet?
Well Done
I am proud of your efforts.
Well done,
Mr Farrier.
