Literacy 16th May 2014

For your homework this week, we would like you to begin thinking about what investigation you could carry out for your Science Fair projects. Our focus for science week is forces and magnetism. Although your project doesn’t have to be based on this area, it could provide a little inspiration.

Remember, you will need to work on your science project over half term and bring to school for the fair on Thursday 5^th June.

They should be presented on paper no larger than A1. You can use photos and written reports to explain the investigation that you carried out at home.

Literacy homework 2nd May 2014

Literacy Homework- Friday 2^nd May

 

This week we have been learning about the rules of dialogue.

 

For homework this week you have to add the speech marks in the correct places. It is quite tricky. You’ll probably need to read through the passage several time to work out what each character is saying.

 

Excuse me, said the man. Can you tell me what the time is? I think it’s about 8 o’clock, replied Graham. I haven’t got my watch on but I remember seeing the time on the town hall clock a few minutes ago. The town hall! said the man. That’s just what I’m looking for. Can you point me in the right direction? Certainly, said Graham. You just go down there past the bank, turn left, go straight on and the town hall will be on your right hand side. Brilliant, said the man, Thanks for your help. That’s okay, said Graham.

 

You might also want to consider how else you can improve this passage by following other rules for writing dialogue such as using a new paragraph for a new speaker.
