English Amazing sentences This week we are practising writing amazing sentences. You will need a dice or a spinner. (You could make your own dice using the template from https://www.firstpalette.com/craft/paper-dice.html).

Game 1: connectives Roll a dice and find the corresponding connective. On a chosen topic, write a sentence using that connective. 1) Use because I grabbed the pen because it was about to disappear 2) Use if Max wouldn’t go through the entrance if there were lions on the inside 3) Use as well as There was a T-shirt on the washing line as well as some trousers 4) Use nevertheless Like a scared kitten, her knees knocked and goose bumps appeared on her skin, nevertheless she continued tiptoeing forward 5) Use also Sarah excitedly scratched at the surface of the chest, also wondering how on earth she had missed it on her last visit 6) Use any connective at the beginning of the sentence Although the darkness meant he could see very little, he peered through the keyhole Game 2: Openers Roll a dice and find the corresponding opener. On a chosen topic, write a sentence using that opener. 1) Use an –ly word: quickly, cautiously, hurriedly etc Carefully, the children tiptoed past the gloomy gates 2) Use a connective – although, because, as well as, despite, whilst, even if etc Even though the man looked innocent, the evidence suggested something else 3) Use an ing word / phrase – running, smiling, looking, grinning etc Wrinkling up his nose, the old man reached for a tissue 4) Use a simile or metaphor Like a fish, she dived in. A silent cat, she crept in 5) Use phrases of time or place to introduce events – before, after, whilst, while, meanwhile, as While the people danced and laughed, John snuck out the back door 6) Use an –ed clause: surprised, shocked, mortified etc Surprised by the bang, Sam halted Game 3: Complex sentences with an embedded clause Remember to use commas to separate the clauses.

Now have a go at writing a short paragraph using as many of the above as possible. Choose your favourite animal and favourite activity as a starting point. Eg. Although he was full from breakfast, the tiger happily munched through his favourite chocolate bar. Cleaning his whiskers, his friend, the giant platypus, watched him lazily and wished he could have one too.

Bar models:

Have a go at drawing bar models to represent the following problems. Then use

your diagram to calculate the answer.
