Click on the link below and watch the video. Pause the video a certain points to answer the questions.The video is linked to the 3 Star Challenge. A short video demonstrating how to divide using partitioning is also available to watch on class dojo. There are 2 other challenges attached below which maybe more suitable for your child.
English
Warm up - adjectives. Think of as many different adjectives as you can to write in each box.
Our focus today is adverbs. Please have a look at the powerpoint on adverbs. These are words which describe a verb.
Eg I lifted the lid of the box. Lifted is the verb. I can add an adverb to describe how I lifted it. E.g I slowly lifted the lid of the box.
Task 1: complete the sheet on adverbs.
Task 2: Adverbs challenge. These instructions are not very good. They are missing adverbs. Your challenge is to re-write them and add in adverbs. Also add in as much other detail as possible. Think about where someone might go wrong and make sure the instructions explains this.
