Re: Daily updates for 26th of Feb

Hi all,
Today our boys did some revision work on subject verb agreement as well as using a simple connector i.e. and to join 2 sentences into 1. On the whole, the boys fared pretty well in their grammar revision worksheet. However, do constantly revise with your child the topic of verb form to ensure that he remembers the grammar rules. For example A cat licks. A girl runs. A boy writes. We eat. My friends play. Bill and I carry. Exceptions include: I run. You write. I have told our boys not to be confused with plural nouns.
Though we add a 's' to nouns to indicate they are plural, the key note is to understand that the word is a noun and not an action word i.e. verb. Do check with your child if he has problems in this area.

Lastly, I've created a treasure map worksheet for our class. Basically, I've demonstrated how to create and write instructions for the treasure map. Hence I've instructed our boys to try creating their own treasure maps at home. Please ensure that your child brings along his treasure map tomorrow as there will be an exchange of treasure maps during English lesson to allow our boys to demonstrate their understanding of prepositions in solving the treasure mystery.

Love,
Teresa

Homework for today:
(1) Learn spelling words from unit 4.2
