 If you haven't already had a go at this week's work on semi-colons, go back and remind yourself how to use them first! Once you're ready, try this activity: semi-colon activity. (You will need to decide where the semi-colon should go in each sentence, then drag and drop it into the correct place.)

Term 6 - Language Skills

Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!
