Writing

So far this week we have been working towards writing a postcard to somebody from an exciting habitat that we are visiting. We have had a go at describing the habitat we are visiting using our senses. 

Today, we are going to move on to thinking about the different activities we might be able to do there and how we would do them. To do this we are going to need to use verbs! Follow the link and watch the video to refresh your memory of verbs.

Now think back to your chosen habitat - maybe close your eyes and really imagine you are there! How many different verbs can you think of to describe moving around there? What sort of activities would you be able to do there? Climbing trees? Feeding dolphins? Building sandcastles?

In your home learning book, write 5 sentences to describe what activities you did on your trip to your habitat. Remember to include:

  • a range of punctuation (? ! ,) 
  • past-tense verbs
  • adverbs
  • range of sentence openers

Remember to email your writing to Y2@mostonlane.manchester.sch.uk! We would love to read about your amazing adventures!
