Good morning, Year 5!
I really enjoyed reading your responses yesterday.
Today’s focus: Grammar
Please complete the following activity in your yellow home learning book. You do not need to write the answers to these again in the comments but you can ask questions if you need clarification.
Please revisit the following to help with your task:
BBC Bitesize: How to write questions
BBC Bitesize: How to use tenses
BBC Bitesize: Subordinating conjuctions
The subordinate clause is the name of the part of the sentence which contains the subordinating conjunction. Sometimes, you can start the sentence with it – it may even sound better – but this changes the word order.
Look at these examples:
-So that I can lose weight, I do a lot of sport.
-Because I have already seen the film, I don’t want to go to the cinema.
The subordinate clause is highlighted in pink.
It is the first idea in the sentence.
Task: Can you write some super sentences with subordinate clauses in your Home Learning book?
In the blog comments, perhaps you can tell us about your week or weekend by including all of the grammar rules in the task above?
Once you finish this, why not try the: Subordinate clauses QUIZ?
Remember to check out the videos if you need support or ask for help in the comments!

So that we could have fun, I played a Harry Potter board game that I got for my birthday. As I love going to the park, we went outside and played with some new toys we had bought! The next day, we watched the movie “Fantastic Beasts and where to find them”. For dinner, we made burgers using fresh meat from the Ginger Pig.
If this really happened it sounds like an awesome day!

Hello everyone, I hope that you have had a nice day so far!
I have completed the grammar questions in my yellow book without any problems.
Here is the challenge work, hope that you enjoy it:
Although still relatively early, darkness loomed as she proceeded to dart through the imposing forest, gulping in as much air as she could take.
She knew that sooner or later she would have to take shelter and rest; but for now Carla was preoccupied with fleeing from Them or else she too would never see daylight again.
Her eyes fixed to the trees ahead, she consequently tripped on a rock and hurtled to the ground head first.
Whilst brushing the earth off her top, she felt her blood turn cold and the hair on her neck prickled: she was being watched.
Gradually she swivelled her head round, scanning her surroundings: They had come out of nowhere, it was too late to run.
Carla stood face to face with Them, spotting the same malevolent glint in their eyes.
Her fate was undecided…
Hi Lavinia. Wow! I was drawn in from the very first sentence. The vocabulary is incredible and I can tell you have been reading lots. I love the way ‘Them’ has a capital letter. I’m dying to know more about ‘Them’ !
Thanks for sending your work in Wanda! I am pleased to see the use of commas and apostrophes 🙂 Keep up the great work

Well done Violette. Remember ‘its’ has an apostrophe here – it’s.
Good morning everyone, this is a description of my weekend using grammar rules from the task.
On Saturday, I rode my bike to Hampstead Heath with my dad and sister. When I got there, I rode up and down a hill three times before we left; it was really fun. As soon as we started to go, it began to rain and we were soon caught in a thunderstorm. When it had mostly passed us, we headed home, but it was still raining and cold which made it feel like it was freezing because I was dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. On Sunday, the weather was nicer and even though it rained a tiny bit, I still went to Hyde Park and got ice-cream.??
I am really impressed with your use of a semicolon and your range of sentence openers. I am so pleased the rain did not stop you from getting your hands on some ice cream! What a treat!
