When we write sentences, we always use a capital letter at the start. We also use capital letters for I and for proper nouns (the names of people, places, languages, days of the week and countries). 

At the end of a sentence we put punctuation. The punctuation we use depends on the type of sentence. There are four types of sentences. They are: statements, commands, questions and exclamations. 

Statement sentences 

Statements are the most common type of sentence. They tell the reader a fact or idea about a single topic. These sentences usually end with a full stop. For example: The cat walked over to the house. 

Command sentences 

Command sentences are used when you are telling someone to do something. Because they are telling someone to do something, they usually start with a bossy verb. For example: Fetch me some biscuits. 

Question sentences 

These sentences always end with a question mark. Watch the video on the link to find out more. 

Exclamation sentences 

These sentences always end with an exclamation mark. 

Watch the next video to find out about exclamation sentences. 

 

Activity 1: Punctuating with MC Ernie 

Play the 'Punctuation' mini game on Small Town Superheroes. Use the yellow arrows to navigate to the 'Ernie' section to find the 'Punctuation' game. Then select the 'All punctuation' level of the game. (On link) 

If you can, open the game in a new tab. You can do this by right clicking on the window and selecting open link in new tab.  

 

Activity 2: Let's listen to a story 

Next you are going to watch a video about a book called 'Sam Silver: Undercover Pirate'. 

Before watching the video, write two question sentences that cover questions you have about the story. Here is an example: How long will the story be? 

Once you've written your sentences, watch the video on the link. 

Were your questions answered by watching the video? 

Now you've finished watching it, write two statement sentences explaining some of the things that happened in the story.

 

Activity 3: Let's write some sentences 

Create a list of words that you would associate with pirates. Here are some to get you started: 

• eye-patch 

• ahoy 

• treasure 

Once you've made your list, try writing two command sentences and two exclamation sentences using words from your list. 

Here are some examples of command sentences: 

• Walk slowly when you're on the plank. 

• Fetch me my eye-patch. 

Here are some examples of exclamation sentences: 

• Ahoy there me hearties! 

• Someone has stolen my treasure!

Topic:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z777xyc 

This is Mohandas Gandhi. 

He is also known as Mahatma Gandhi, which means great soul. 

He lived in India 100 years ago and fought against the British rule of his country. At the time, India was part of the British Empire. 

Discover more about his life in the clip on the link. 

Key facts 

• From 1858, India was part of the British Empire, a group of countries ruled by Britain, which decided their laws. 

• Gandhi believed this was wrong. He thought India should be ruled by Indian people. Gandhi became famous for being the voice of freedom and fairness for the Indian people, who were mostly very poor. 

• He wanted to gain Indian independence through peace, not violence. 

• Gandhi won support from people around the world. 

• As the protests he led grew, the British decided they couldn't rule India anymore. 

• In 1947, the British Empire left India. But before going, they split it into two countries - India, where people mainly followed the Hindu religion, and Pakistan, where most people were Muslims. This was called 'Partition'. 

• Gandhi died for his beliefs. In January 1948, he was killed by someone who blamed him for India being divided. 

• We still remember him today for the power of his peaceful protests. As Gandhi said: "In a gentle way, you can shake the world!"
