Happy New Year!

Welcome back to school, folks! It's lovely to see you all again!

This week's homework (due, as always, on Friday) is to help revise the Parts of Speech, using a non fiction text like some of the ones we looked at today. This one is a news article.

STEP ONE:

Read this article:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16265519

(There is a video you can watch too at the top of the article, which is pretty interesting, but you don't have to watch it if you don't want.)

STEP TWO:

Make a list of all the nouns you can find in the article.

STEP THREE:

Make a list of all the verbs you can find in the article.

STEP FOUR:

Make a list of all the adjectives you can find in the article.

STEP FIVE:

Make up ten new sentences, using as many of these words as you can manage to include.

STEP SIX:

Hand in your work on Friday.
