►Topic

 

This week we are going to be thinking about using adjectives to describe something.

 

Adjectives tell us what something looks, smells, feels, sounds or tastes like.

 

Have a look at the picture below and ask your child to think of adjectives to describe it, using the sentence starter "She is..." or "She has...".

 

e.g. "She has curly hair."

"She has a blue dress."

"She has a shocked face."

 

Note down the ideas that your child comes up with because will will be using them tomorrow.

 

Blue challengeask your child questions to support their ideas. E.g. What kind of hair does she have? What kind of dress does she have? Ensure that your child answers in full sentences using the sentence starter "She is/has..."

 

Green challenge: children to create their own sentences. Adults can support by pointing out different parts of the picture for the child to comment on. Ensure that your child answers in full sentences using the sentence starter "She is/has..."

 

Purple challenge: children to create their own sentences. Adults can support by pointing out different parts of the picture for the child to comment on. Ensure that your child answers in full sentences using the sentence starter "She is/has..." Then children to write their adjectives as labels next to the picture. Encourage them to sound out the words themselves; it doesn't matter if they are spelt correctly, as long as they are phonetically correct. If your child is unsure of any sounds, you could write them down to copy.
