Literacy

Two, Too and To

 

We have recently been learning about homophones in our literacy sessions. We are going to continue this today by looking at grammar homophones  - two, too and to.

 

Two  - the number 2 , for example - I have two sons.

 

Too - meaning also or more, for example - It's too cold for me!

 

To - used for everything else, for example - I went to the Spar.

 

Before you begin todays tasks make sure you have a look at the PPT below.

In addition to this, check out the video and quiz on the link too. 

 

There, Their and They're

On Tuesday we are going to continue with grammar homophones.

Today we are looking at the 3 versions of there - 

 

1. There - a place, or used with the word are or is

 

For example - The box is over there.

 

2. Their - something that belongs to people.

 

For example - We rode in their car.

 

3. They're - a contraction for the words they are.

 

For example - They're going to the airport.

 

Before you complete your task today please watch the clip below and take a look at the PPT. 

Then you will be ready to complete the 2 sheets from your pack.

Start your activity on Thursday by getting out your planning sheet from yesterday. 

 

Use your planning sheet to begin to write your water droplet story. 

 

Remember you can write it out in your book or type your story either using word or the notes icon in Seesaw.

 

Your story must have a beginning, middle and end. Try to make it interesting to read.

 

Make sure you give your droplet a name and follow a full sequence of the water cycle.
