LiteracyGrammar

This week we will learn about:verbs and adverbs

Steps to Success

Steps to success

• I can identify a verb.• I can use verbs in a sentence.• I can use adverbs to describe

verbs when writing sentences.

Verbs are the most important words of all.

Every sentence must have a verb in it.

The verb tells us about the action.

The action words tell us what is being done in a sentence.

Read about what a verb is and take part in a short quiz by clicking on the link below.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/zpxhdxs

A verb is an action word. Verbs are the words for things that you can do, have done or will do.

Adverbs are words to explain how you did it,

for example: I ran quickly.

I shouted loudly.I wrote neatly.

Remember that verbs are action words.

Copy this list of words and underline the words which are verbs.

Copy these 5 sentences into your jotter. Where there is a space you must write a verb to make the sentence make sense.

1. At school I -------------- on a chair.

2. A gardener can -------------- with a spade.

3. My dog Jessie can -------------- the door with her paw.

4. I like a sharp pencil when I ------------ my neat work.

5. I’m so hungry. I could just ----------- a bar of chocolate.

pencil run chair open eat

spade sit write door cake

dig swim table car hop

Nouns are naming words. Adjectives are describing words. Verbs are doing words.

Look at these 8 sentences. Copy the sentences neatly into your books. Underline the nouns in one colour, adjectives in another colour and verbs in a different colour.

1. The warm sun shone in the blue sky.

2. Bright butterflies floated through the tall trees.

3. Ants scuttled round an old jam-pot before they ran away.

4. Busy bees flew among the sweet-scented roses.

5. A bird perched on the low branch until it saw a black cat.

6. The pansies made a yellow carpet as they turned towards the bright sun.

7. Wasps swarmed among the ripe strawberries.

8. The old gardener leant on the gate and smoked his pipe.

Look at this list of verbs.

Write the verbs from this list in the sentences below. Copy them carefully into your jotter.

1. The dog ------- but the cat ---------.

2. She ---- her face and ----- her hair.

3. We ------ television and ------- a computer game.

4. The owl ------- down, but the mouse ------- away.

5. The worm ------ away, but the bird --------- it and eventually caught it.

washed barked watched swooped played

scampered purred brushed wriggled followed

These are some of the things that you may have done (Verbs).

An Adverb adds something to the verb. Adverbs are words to explain how you did it.

For example, I watched tv calmly.

Copy these sentences neatly into your books.Underline the verb in each sentence and add an adverb to make the sentence more interesting. The first one has been done for you.Remember adverbs describe the verb.

1.The fox ran past the house. The fox ran past the house quickly.

2. Cows eat grass. 3. The lady carried her bag. 4. The man hooted his horn.

5. Birds sing in the trees. 6. The flag fluttered in the breeze. 7. I drank the cup of tea.

8. The shark swam under the water. 9. You write with a pencil. 10. The queen sat on the throne.

Can you write some examples of your own?

shouted ran ate walked sang

Kindness is free – let’s pass it on!

Last week was mental health week with a focus on the theme of kindness – to others and to yourself.

Be kind to yourself – it starts with you!

Draw some hearts and fill them with your ideas of how you can be kind to yourself.Then carry out the ideas!• Have a laugh!• Have a hug!• Tell yourself you’re fabulous!

Building ResilienceExpect the unexpectedAs part of the building resilience program the final part for this session is “expecting the unexpected”. This deals with lost and also with change, something we are all experiencing at the moment.

We cannot protect ourselves from change (however much we would like to). Sometimes it can be positive, other times it brings disappointment, difficulty or loss.

This program helps children to build resilience and understand there are things we can do to look after our mental health and wellbeing and prepare for a future full of unknowns.

NOW: look at the assembly PowerPoint.

Expect the Unexpected Task

Use the Ten Things poster on the next page to tell someone at home about the tools and how they help to

support your wellbeing. Can you name all the tools? Which tool has helped you recently? What tool do you

need to practice using?

Activity

Select one tool that is important to you and have a go at redesigning the image for it. Bring it into school and

explain to your class what tool it is, what the key messages mean and why the one you chose is important to

you.
