Year 4 What do I have to do this week?

So this week we are copying the werewolf description onto a word doc on the computer.We are also  studying the adjectives for a spelling test on Friday 14th Nov and then we are doing the online exercises about present simple to practise and remember the difficulty when we are talking about someone else (3rd person)

What adjectives do I have to study and what do they mean?  Check in a dictionary

Wicked, spiteful, unhappy, beautiful, unsightly, unreliable, bad tempered, disgusting, dangerous, unpleasant.  

 I put beautiful 'cause you always spell it wrong.

Here's a nice explanation.

Verb Conjugation & Spelling

We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).
In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject

Verb

The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they

speak / learn

English at home

he / she / it

speaks / learns

English at home


The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb:
1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.
  • go – goes
  • catch – catches
  • wash – washes
  • kiss – kisses
  • fix – fixes
  • buzz – buzzes
2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES.
  • marry – marries
  • study – studies
  • carry – carries
  • worry – worries
NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.
  • play – plays
  • enjoy – enjoys
  • say – says

    Negative Contractions

    Don't = Do not
    Doesn't = Does not
    don't like meat = I do not like meat.

Its head goes bobble-bobble;
And all he knows is just one word..
And that is GOBBLE-GOBBLE!

There once was a turkey named Chummy,
My Mum thought that he might be quite yummy.
He ran away
On Thanksgiving Day --
But still ended up in my tummy!

OUR FANTASTIC WRITING THIS WEEK

THESE ARE SOME OF THE WITCH DESCRIPTIONS THAT WE DID THIS WEEK IN CLASS.  THIS IS STILL GUIDED WRITING BUT WE ARE MOVING SLOWLY TOWARDS WRITING INDEPENDANTLY.
THESE CHILDREN ARE  9 YEARS OLD AND I THINK THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB.
WE NEED TO BUILD UP THEIR CONFIDENCE IN WRITING, NOT FOCUSING ON WHAT IS WRONG BUT WHAT IS GREAT  AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME MISTAKES BUT BIT BY BIT WE WILL CORRECT THESE.  WE ARE ALSO MASTERING THE KEYBOARD AS AN ADDED SKILL FOR LIFE.
