Some days will be more productive than others. We ask that you do the core subjects (reading, writing, maths) daily, and then balance the foundation subjects as suits you. You may find that doing all of the days work in one go works best (remember to take a short break, though) or splitting it into morning and afternoon suits you better. If you are unable to complete everything then do not worry. Do your best and that will be good enough. Remember the assembly on routines – try to start at the same time every day, in a quiet place if possible. Have a clear plan for the day. There will be some QR codes (barcodes) that you will be able to scan. These will take you to a website with further information or activities on. Any scanning app, eg Barcode Scanner, on a mobile device or tablet will enable you to do this.

Today we will be looking at inverted commas. What are inverted commas? Scan the QR code or follow the link to find out more about inverted commas from the Oak National Academy. https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-practise-speech-with-punctuation-68rp8e?step=1&activity=video When you are writing, inverted commas (also called speech marks) go before and after any words that a character or person says. For example: "I'm hungry," complained Goldilocks. ‘I’m hungry’ are the words that Goldilocks says out loud (also called direct speech), so the inverted commas go at the start and end of those words, with either a comma, exclamation mark or question mark before the second inverted comma. (, ! ?) TASK 1 – Synonyms for said: We use inverted commas for when people are speaking, but it can be very boring when we keep using the word ‘said’. How many different synonyms (words that mean the same or are similar) can you come up with? Two examples have been done for you: TASK 2 – Adding inverted commas Below are some sentences with the inverted commas missing. For each sentence, underline the section that is being spoken and include the inverted commas into the correct place. The first two have been done for you. 1. “ What’s for dinner dad? ” Jacinda asked. 2. The witch looked at her sisters and asked, “ When will we three meet again? ” 3. The mouse looked at the fox and whispered, Please don’t eat me. 4. I’m stuck! Shouted Sam as he held up his hands. 5. We won! We won! Screamed the boys as the final whistle blew. 6. John, can you hold this? asked the sweet old lady. 7. Be careful in the snow, it is really slippy out there, said her father. 8. The policeman asked, Can I see your licence please? 9. The teacher stood up and replied, Make sure you have checked your answers children. TASK 3 – Inserting missing punctuation: Mr Jenkins and Miss Schweizer have forgotten to include inverted commas and full stops in their writing below. Read the section carefully and add the inverted commas and full stops into the correct places. EXTENSION: Now you have practiced adding inverted commas into sentences, have a go at creating your own sentences using inverted commas for direct speech. Remember to punctuate them correctly! Take a photograph of your sentences using inverted commas for speech and upload them onto Dojo so that we can share these with the class. th HANDWRITING – Monday 8 February 2021 Use the space below to practice the joins and words you have been using today.
