Spellings
Please practise these spellings ready for your spelling test next week.
Use of the hyphen
Hyphens can be used to join a prefix to a root word, especially if the prefix ends in a vowel letter and the root word also begins with one. Compounds with these prefixes are sometimes (but not always) hyphenated to avoid doubling a vowel or tripling a consonant, and sometimes even to prevent initial misreading or mispronunciation.
- To avoid doubling a vowel: anti-administration (but cooperation)
- To avoid tripling a consonant: shell-like
- To prevent initial reading or mispronunciation: re-cover vs. recover (I will re-cover the sofa when I recover from the flu.)
co-ordinate
re-enter
co-operate
co-own
all-inclusive
cross-reference
re-order
re-cover
shell-like

This week we are focusing on fronted adverbials of time, place and manner.
Can you create two sentences for each type of adverbial.

-Remember your adverbial clause needs to be at the start of your sentence.
Ex: adverb of time (when) = As the evening drew closer, I ran home whilst the owls hooted in the night sky.
Ex: adverb of place (where you are) = As I approached the mysterious, murky village, I noticed a peculiar sign.
Ex: adverb of manner (how you do something)= Silent and fearful, he crept through the abandoned, rotten building.
Just like in the story ‘Stick Man’ we had a go at playing ‘Pooh Sticks’ outside. It was a challenge to make sure that all the guttering connected and to make out sticks move!
Jellyfish class have been creating their own story based on Stick man! We made ‘Ghost Man’!
Ghost Man lives in his family cave with his Ghost Lady Love and Ghost children three.
One day Ghost Man woke up early and went for a hover.
Ghost Man oh! Ghost Man, beware of the mouse!
“A ghost” squeaked the mouse.
“An excellent ghost.”
“The right kind of ghost for my favourite scare!”
So he squeaked and crept and squeaked and then…
he crept and squeaked and crept again!
