Hello Class 4!
I hope you are all okay, I am missing you all a lot!
Today I am in school so I won’t be able to approve and reply to your comments as often but do not worry I will check them when I can and once I am home I will check them all again! Well done for continuing to work on the blogs every day! You are doing so well and I am SO proud of you all!
As always, on Tuesday in English we are looking at grammar to help enhance our writing! Today we are looking at conjunctions!
Conjunctions are joining words that link together parts of a sentence.
The three main coordinating conjunctions are ‘and’, ‘but’ and ‘or’.
They can be used to join together two clauses in a sentence. However, the clauses need to make sense on their own.
For example:
He had a terrible back. He carried on fetching wood.
You can add the coordinating conjunction ‘but’ in between these causes so the sentence reads:
He had a terrible back but he carried on fetching wood.
Remember though, you can often leave out the subject word in the second coordinating clause.
For example:
He had a terrible back but carried on fetching wood.
In this example you can remove the word ‘he’ from the second coordinating clause.

Task 1: Re write the sentences below using ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘or’, ‘so’ or ‘because’
1.) His legs hurt. His back ached.
2.) Miranda looked at Ferdinand. She realised she loved him.
3.) Prospero felt happy. He was also nervous.
4.) The music rang out across the forest. The birds sang.
5.) Should he set Ariel free. Should he keep Ariel trapped.
6.) Caliban tried to warn Trinculo and Stephano. They wouldn’t listen.
Task 2: Write 5 of your own sentences using ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘or’, ‘so’ or ‘because’ making sure your sentences like to The Tempest.
Fancy a challenge? Look below at all of the coordinating conjunctions. Can you write a sentence using a different coordinating conjunction each time. Make sure your sentences make sense!
I look forward to reading your work!
