Literacy

We hope you really enjoyed finding out about all the animals which are endangered. There are so many things we can do to help prevent this from happening and it is so important that we look after the planet and animals in it. 

This week we are going to get creative! Our planet has so many species of animals and scientists think there are still more species yet to be discovered. I wonder what they will be?  Think about this statement, ‘If I was an animal what would I be?’ Choose an animal and  write in the first person as though you are that animal. Explain why you would be that animal and what you would do as the animal.

You could get really creative and mix some animals together and give it a name. Just like the species yet to be discovered.

One star  -  Use the words to make a sentence about an animal.

Two stars  -  Choose an animal or create one like the Hotchpotch. Write in the first person using the word ‘I’. Use adjectives to describe what you look like.

Three stars  -  Choose an animal or create one.  Write in the first person using the word ‘I’. Use noun phrases to describe what you look like and use the conjunction because.

Four stars  -  Choose an animal or create one.  Write in the first person using the word ‘I’. Use expanded noun phrases to describe your looks, movement, habitat and food. Use the subordinate conjunctions ’because, that, if, when.
