Session One- Wellbeing Journal and English
Session One: English- Using one armed robot letters.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zbm3rj6
One-armed robot letters are: b, h, k, m, n, p and r.
They always start by going straight down, up, and over. Most of these letters have a curve, except for the letter k.
Describing words
Describing words are also known as adjectives.
Describing words are words that describe a noun (the name of a thing or a place). For example:
It was a terrible book.
The word 'terrible' is an adjective because it tells us what the book (the noun) was like.
Take a piece of paper draw seven big boxes or use the template provided in the printable version of the day.
Try the quiz on BBC Bitesize (https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zbm3rj6) and see how many you can get correct. Remember, describing words are also known as adjectives.
Imagine you're making a poster for a missing monster.
Here are some examples:
Six bright, blue, shiny eyes.
Three spotty, green legs.
Once you've finished, read through your labels and circle or highlight all the one-armed robot letters.

Sentence Challenge:
These sentences are not very exciting at all! Can you make them better using adjectives and adverbs?
Remember that an adjective describes a noun.
For example: He picked up the dusty, old suitcase.
An adverb describes a verb (doing word).
For example: Paddington walked slowly down the platform.
Can you make them exciting by using lots of wonderful vocabulary?
A bear stood on the platform.

Can you draw what is inside his suitcase?
