We would like you to focus on the sick sentences but it would be great if you could have a go at all the challenges.

This link contains a helpful video and some activities to apply your knowledge.
As a challenge, can you think of your own examples?
You could have a go at writing your own poem using these examples.
Have a listen to David Williams read an extract from his book and answer the questions on how to find information in a text.
Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar
This week, we are looking at how to use apostrophes in contractions. The following BBC Bitesize page explains what possessive apostrophes are and gives you an opportunity to practise your understanding.

In addition to this, we would also like you to continue practising your handwriting skills with your spellings this week, using more adverbs using the suffix –ly.
