Recap when capital letters need to be used in writing. -At the start of a new sentence – the first word in each sentence-For the pronoun ‘I’ -For proper names – names of people, places, days and monthsRecap when full stops need to be used in writing. They are used to mark the end of a sentence that is a complete statement. The whole sentence needs to make sense up to the point where the full stop is. Main task: Read the four postcards. See below. The children have forgotten to use capital letters and full stops. Add them in where they should be. Extension: Extend some of the shorter sentences with conjunctions and extra description.

*Wednesday’s English lesson: Writing a postcard/example


Dear Saira,

I have been having so much fun in Mallorca. There are so many things to do on the huge, incredible beach right by my hotel. This morning, I rode a banana boat and it flipped me into the sea. How awesome it was when it did that! Have you ever been on a banana boat before? They are so cool but scary at the same time.

Later on, I am going to go for a long, relaxing walk along the shore with my family. I love to stroll barefoot so that I can feel the water and sand between my toes. What a great feeling it is! I feel as happy as a mouse munching cheese.

Anyway, I am missing you lots and lots. I can’t wait to see you when I get home. Come to my house as soon as I am back and we can catch up. I hope you are well.

From Josephine.
