Good morning Class 4!
How are you all today? Another big well done to all of you for interacting so well with online learning this week! You are all brilliant!
Today we will be looking at some Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPaG)…
Today, we will be looking at ADVERBS. What is an adverb?
An adverb is a word that describes a verb (which is a ‘doing word’ or an action).
You can have the sentence ‘Prospero and Miranda stepped onto the boat.’
Here, the verb is ‘stepped’.
An adverb can come before or after the verb. Like this:
‘Prospero and Miranda cautiously stepped onto the boat.’
‘Prospero and Miranda stepped onto the boat cautiously.’

We can use adverbs to tell us different things. Look at these examples below…

Your Task:
Can you add some adverbs to the sentences below to make them sound even more interesting?
1. The ship sunk under the crashing waves.
2. Ferdinand climbed ashore.
4. Gonzalo spoke.
9. Stephano burped.
7. Trinculo looked around.
6. Sebastian and Antonio drew their swords.
8. Stephano sang.
5. Antonio whispered to Sebastian, “We should kill King Alonso”.
3. King Alonso cried, thinking he’d never see his son again.
10. Trinculo walked beside Caliban and Stephano.
I wonder if everyone will think of different adverbs?
Remember to use CAPITAL LETTERS, punctuation and try to spell your words correctly to make super sentences!
I look forward to reading your work!

Hello Miss Lee, i will send in my work.
Great thank you!
1) You could hear the waves as the ship crubled under shore.
2) Ferdinand quickly climed ashore.
3) King Alonso cried with fear as the thought that he would never see his son again.
4) Gonzalo spoke peacefully.
5) Antonio whispered to Sebastion ,we should we kill King Alonso. As he said these words a shiver ran down his back.

8) Stephano sang with power in hisv voice.
9) Stephano burped a big loud burp.
10)Triculo silently walked beside Cailban and Stephano.
Well done girls, great work! Just check you have used adverb in each sentence. For example ‘Stephano sang with power in his voice.’ does not use an adverb, even though you have added in extra information to describe how he sang. You could choose an adverb to describe how often he sang, for example
‘Stephano sang occassionally.’
or
‘Stephano always sang.’
1.The ship sunk under the dark crashing violent waves
2.Ferdinand climbed to the sandy wet shore of the deserted island
3.King alonso cried out hoping for Ferdinand to come
4. Gonzalo spoke loudly and vocal
5. Antonio spoke like a mouse into Sebastians ear “should we kill king alonso “
6. Sebastian and Antonio drew their silver swords high in the air
7. Trinculo looked suspiciously around
8. Stephano sang clearly like a drunk person
9. Stephano burped like a person who doesn’t care about anything
10. Trinculo walked quickly beside Caliban
Well done Albert. You have added lots of description to these sentences to make them more interesting! Just check you have definitely added an adverb each time. For example, ‘Ferdinand climbed to the sandy wet shore of the deserted island.’ does not include an adverb. You could have ‘Ferdinand frantically climbed ashore.’
1.The gigantic ship sunk under the huge blue crashing waves.
2. Ferdinand climbed ashore carefully and slowly.
3. King Alonso cried like he never had before, thinking he’d never see his son again.
4. Gonzalo spoke happily.
5. Antonio silently whispered to Sebastian, “We should kill King Alonso now when he won’t be looking.”
6. Sebastian and Antonio drew their swords out fearlessly.
7. Trinculo looked around carefully.
8. Stephano sang a beautiful song.
9. Stephano burped very loud.
10. Trinculo walked with fright beside Caliban and Stephano.
Well done Ajay!
Be careful here as in your first sentence ‘The gigantic ship sunk under the huge blue crashing waves.’ you have added ‘huge, blue’ which are adjectives.
Make sure you have added an adverb such as:
‘The gigantic ship sunk under violently crashing waves.’
or
‘The gigantic ship slowly sunk under the crashing waves.’
The ship crashed yesterday under the wave.
Ferdinand climbed ashore very quickly.
Gonzalo spoke very slow.
Stephano burped out loud.
Trinculo looked around peacefully.
Sebastian and Antonio drew their swords by rushing.
Good work Karter! Just ensure your adverbs are added correctly, for example instead of ‘Gonzalo spoke very slow.’ you should have ‘Gonzalo spoke very slowly.’
The ship sunk under the blue crashing waves.
Ferdinand swiftly climbed ashore.
Gonzalo boldly spoke.
Stephano burped quietly.
Trinculo carefully looked around.
Sebastian and Antonio slowly drew their swords.
Stephano sang loudly.
Antonio quickly whispered to Sebastian, “We should kill King Alonso”.
King Alonso cried sadly, thinking he’d never see his son again.
Trinculo swiftly walked beside Caliban and Stephano.
Well done Rafael!
Just be careful not to confuse adjectives and adverbs.
In your first sentence ‘The ship sunk under the blue crashing waves.’ you have added the word ‘blue’ which is an adjective here to describe the appearance of the waves. Think about using an adverb to describe the action.
For example ‘The ship rapidly sunk under the crashing waves.’
Some of my adverbs will give a different twist to the story…
1. The ship sunk quickly under the crashing waves.
2. Ferdinand slowly climbed ashore.
4. Gonzalo spoke cautiously
9. Stephano rudely burped.
7. Trinculo curiously looked around.
6. Sebastian and Antonio bravely drew their swords.
8. Stephano happily sang.
5. Antonio evily whispered to Sebastian, “We should kill King Alonso”.
3. King Alonso sadly cried, thinking he’d never see his son again.
10. Trinculo desperately walked beside Caliban and Stephano.

1) A few minutes before you came, the ship slowly sank under the crashing waves.
2) Ferdinand climbed assure tiredly.
3) Melancholy and down-hearted, king Alonso cried, thinking he would never see his son again.

I hope you are having a good day.
Lucy
P.S . I have kept the number order in the original piece, although this is not how I usually count to 10 ???.
Hello Lucy!
Oops… I wonder why the numbers all jumbled up ?
