= Language = =This week is all about Tenses= We are learning that we use a lot of auxillary verbs to help us change the tense when we speak, read and write. Look at the following presentation and be prepared to share your learning with your reading group. Remember to bring examples with you.. [|Auxillary Verbs Help us] Tense Work at the BBChttp://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/words/grammar/tenses/getting_the_right_tense/quiz.shtml

Punctuation: We are learning to stretch out the sounds in new words and to record all the sounds we hear. We are learning to spell juicy words correctly.
 * Other Language work we can be working on:**
 * __[|Fullstop]__**
 * __[|metaphors]__**
 * __[|DON'T USE SAID !]__**

 [|Spelling City] is a great site to help you learn your spelling words each week. Sounding out a word we are not sure of is a good way to start reading a new word as well as spelling it. Chunking out groups of sounds we can recognise is also a great way to improve our spelling. Try this strategy out with these chunking activities. Which ones can you find in this week's spelling words? Chunking Activities The English language has many spelling rules. Check these ones out. Can you think of any examples when these rules are broken? Be ready to share with your reading group. Do any of this week's spelling words use a rule? Spelling Rules
