In today’s session we are going to be learning about Parenthesis!
This means the use of brackets, dashes or commas to add extra information into a sentence. We have
looked at this briefly over year 4 with regards to brackets and commas however this is a good revision!
(this was a request from someone in class 7! Great choice!!)
Have a watch the the videos on the links before for lots more information about parenthesis.
If the link doesn’t work then please copy and paste the link into your search bar and it should work
then.

Session 2
Re-write the following sentences so that they begin with the adverbial. Use only the same
words and remember to punctuate your answer correctly.
Jenny could see again after her surgery.
The boys cheered when they won the football match.
Miss Majer was very proud when all the children handed in their homework.
Remember: adverbials say when, where or how something happened. Can you use this as
a clue to help you rearrange the sentences.

Today we are going to be thinking about how apostrophes are used for contractions.
Contractions are when we have 2 words which we merge together to become one word.
Eg: I will = I’ll
Have a look at the video below to learn more about contractions.
Mild:
Can you cut these out
and match them up?
Spicy: Can you underline
all the different
contractions you can see?
Hot: Can you re-write these
sentences with the correct
contractions?

Can you find any more that have not
been underlined?

Today we are going to be learning about synonyms.
Synonyms are different words that mean the same/similar things.
For example:
The boy ran.
The boy sprinted.
The boy jogged.
The underlined words are all synonyms for the same thing.
Watch the video below for more information.
I am putting the work up in a different order so that if you want to challenge yourselves you don’t
accidently see the answers. Take care when clicking through the slide so that you don’t go too
far.

Session 5
As it is World Blood Donor day on Sunday 14th June 2020, I thought our comprehension could be
based on that.
Also our topic this half term in IPC would have been Inside the Body where we would have learnt
lots about our organs and how our body works.
