Hello Class 4!
Yesterday we started a new book: The Bolds Go Wild
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! This week our English tasks will be based on the first chapter of this book.
Click here to revisit chapter 1: The Bold Go Wild Chapter 1
Today’s blog will focus on Grammar…
RECAP
Beginning and ending a sentence:
Capital letters are always used at the start of a sentence. Every letter in the alphabet can be simple (lower case) or capital (upper case). At the end of a sentence we put punctuation. Depending on the type of sentence, this could be a full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark.
Verbs:
A verb is a word used to describe an action, state or occurrence. Verbs can be used to describe an action (doing something). For example, the word ‘jumping’ in this sentence: They can also be used to describe a state (being or feeling something). Or a verb can be used to describe an occurrence (something happening).
Sentence Subjects:
The subject of a sentence is the person, place or thing performing the action (the verb). For example: The postman delivered the letters. In this sentence the verb is ‘delivered’ because that is the thing being done (the action). Therefore the subject is ‘the postman’ because that is the person doing the action.
Adjectives:
An adjective is a word that describes a noun (the name of a person, place or a thing). For example: The towering trees swayed in the wind. In this sentence, ‘towering’ is the adjective because it is describing the trees.
Task 1:
Answer these warm-up questions about our class text. Before posting your answers on the blog or sending in a photo of your work, check that you have included accurate punctuation.
Task 2:
All of you are very good at using adjectives to add more detail to your writing. However, I want to challenge you to be more adventurous with your choice of adjectives. Remember in class we always talk about choosing adjectives that really help our reader to imagine exactly what something looks like.
I always use this example in class… Imagine the most beautiful cake you have ever seen in your life. All of us pictured different cakes. Some of use imagined chocolate cakes covered in sprinkles, others colourful rainbow cakes with decorative icing and some of us imagined a classic Victoria Sponge. The word beautiful is an adjective but it doesn’t help our reader to imagine exactly what we are describing.
Can you write some sentences to describe the images below? You may need to write more than one sentence for each using more than one adjective. Pick your adjectives carefully to ensure you have described each image in detail.
Just as Task 1, before posting your work or sending it in, make sure you check your punctuation carefully!
I look forward to reading your work!
From Miss Lee 🙂

Brilliant work Tijne! I enjoyed reading your sentences for Task 2! I love the phrase ‘I could see the sun sink into the sea.’
As the sun is setting the sky turns orange. The clouds start to dissappear the sky turns black.
In the the forest a slit mist covers it so now one can enter. As the wind whistles and saws the wood is creeking and crackling.
As the colossal clock ticks the hours go by. When the clock reaches 12 you can hear the sound of bells ringing and ringing until it stopes.
As the rain drops it drops onto the leaves, dripping and dropping on the floor. As the rain begins to faid the leaves start to dry.

At sunset
The sun was reflecting its golden figures against the calm sea.
It shown in the blue stars night. The sun glazed in the horizon while lodes of different colors red, orange, yellow, indigo and dark pink all slowly appeared and made a wonderful sight. The cloudy sky started to darken into a marvelous color; navy blue. The sun was falling a sleep. GOODNIGHT SUN! (You have to shout so that the sun can here you well).?
A forest:
The dark woods were full of rustling noises like serpents and owls and tigers? Though at the very center is a fountain of light shining on the the running waterfall where the water slides through the leafy rocks. The water as clear as a skyblue transparent crystal or diamond ?.
Big Ben:
The giant clock on the building next to the parliaments strikes 12:00
Ding dang dong. Your ears would explode if you were next to it. It is so loud the whole city can hear it. Oh tea time uuup uuup.
A rainy day:
The rain was dripping everywhere! If you stayed 2 minutes under the rain you’d think you just took your shower or you jumped in a deep swimming pool. You better take an umbrella!
