Using exclamation marks.

An exclamation mark looks like this: !
You can use an exclamation mark to show we are shocked, surprised and excited. Here are some examples:
-
Stop it!
-
I had the best time ever!
-
I cannot believe my eyes!
You can also use an exclamation mark at the end of an exclamation sentence. These sentences must start with 'What' or 'How' and include a verb. For example: What a great person you are!
Activity 1: Let's exclaim
See if you can highlight where the exclamation marks should go. The activity is on the link.

Take a look at the sentences below and mark whether they use exclamation marks correctly or incorrectly.

Topic: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zv8f382
Forces are pushes and pulls in a particular direction.
Watch the first animation on the link where Seymour Science and friends look at basic forces.
All forces move something.
Push - moves something away from you eg. a swing in a playground
Pull - moves something towards you eg. closing a door
Twist - moves something either away from or towards you eg. opening or closing a bottle
The harder you apply one of these forces, the further the object will move.
Activity 1
Match up the forces (Follow link above)
Drag and drop to match the images to the type of force they are showing.
Activity 2
Push, pull or twist?
Go around your home and ask your children if they can find any examples where they need to push, pull or twist something.
Please send us pictures of you showing a force! You might be the star of our next blog post!
Helping at home challenge: Today we would like you to put a 5 minute timer on, how much tidying or cleaning can you do in 5 minutes? Ready… steady…. Go!
We hope you have a great day and a wonderful half term and we will be back on Monday 1st June!
Something to make you smile....
Lots of love as always,
Miss Davey and Miss Keam
