Good morning Year 6! Well done for your work yesterday
Today we are focusing on Grammar. For a starter, please complete the questions below in your Home Learning Book.
Please visit these websites to revise the above terminology:
BBC Bitesize: Past v Present tense
BBC Bitesize: What is an adverb?
BBC Bitesize: How to punctuate direct speech
On Thursday you are going to write an advert for the toy the girl desperately wants.
You can begin to brainstorm ideas in your home learning book today. What does it look like?
Can you think of some descriptive words to describe the toy?
Adverts are:
convincing
appealing
persuasive
attention grabbing
effective adverts often use rhetorical questions. A rhetorical question is a question that is used for effect. It does not need to be answered.
Please see: Advertisement Vocabulary
In the comment below, write a short paragraph describing a toy or favourite game you have at home using the above terminology (nouns, verbs, present tense, adverbs, active voice).
Please proof-read for spelling or grammar errors before submitting your comment!
I look forward to reading your responses,
Mrs Avdiu xx

Good morning Miss Avdiu! Can I write an advert for a board game I have at home because I don’t have any other games.
That sounds like a great idea!
Hi Miss! I dont really have a favourite game because I love many.
That’s okay Charles – you could describe the one you have played with most recently?
Miss Avidu I can write an advert About my grand mothers teddy which is very special to her.
That sounds lovely. Yes please!
Mrs Avdiu can I write an advert about a ceramic dove holder?
Yes, please! I can’t wait to read it. But remember the writing will be on Thursday. Today is for brainstorming.
I don’t understand are we supposed to write an advert today?
Hi Elly. Today is for brainstorming. Read the instructions again and you’ll see the advert will be written on Thursday 🙂 I just wanted to give you a head start on thinking of ideas before then! 🙂
Mrs Avdiu, I am writing to say that I have done a brain storm of my ideas in my home learning book.
Well done Elly! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Sorry Miss but I do not have favourite toys or games
Hi Tim… is there any game you enjoying playing in school or one that you have fond memories of? It could be a favourite toy or game that belongs to someone special to you 🙂
Hello Mrs Avdiu,
Is the advert to sell the toy?
Don’t worry, I will explain more on Thursday. For today just focus on brainstorming what the toy is like 🙂
Hi Year 6 🙂 I can’t wait to read about the toys that you write about! My favourite toy when i was younger was a Teddy that we called ‘creaky Ted’ as he Legs were squeaky!! ?
