SPAG revision

Trapped – Nouns and Adjectives

A literacy game where you need to sort words into either proper nouns, common nouns, adjectives or comparative adjectives so that you can escape from the Forbidden Chamber!

The Quest of Comma Castle

Who’d have thought the humble comma could be the difference between life and death? Well, it is in The Quest of Comma Castle where you need to save a diamond from the Plinth of the Perishing Pit, negotiating dragons, bottomless pits and other deadly obstacles, all by answering grammar questions. There are four difficulty settings, and six sections to play through. Real heroes know their synonyms and antonyms.

Think about the conversations of what we would like to see in your writing that we have during our English lessons. It is important that you keep up the effort with your writing. Please try and keep it to a similar standard of that to which you would use in class 🙂  [/dropshadowbox]

This may be for yourself or for your family, but only using those 5 ingredients (of your choice). Dojo points, on your new accounts, will be given for photos, a set of instructions on how to make your dish and your list of 5 ingredients – if you send them to us on Class Dojo! Happy cooking!
