Commas
Commas clarify meaning.
They can be used:
• to separate a clause or phrase • to separate items in a list
• to indicate a grammatical break
With anticipation, the children rode the lift up to the observation deck.
St Louis is famous for the Mississippi River, the Gateway Arch and the food.
They waited apprehensively, worried that Percy might be recognised.
Skip further explanation of commas. Go to
Commas separate a clause or phrase.
We need a comma if the phrase or clause is at the front of a sentence,
Across the deep blue sky, the Gateway Arch stretched.
As they travelled up, the woman asked where their parents were. A second later, the dog began to bark.
or if it is embedded within it.
Commas separate a clause or phrase.
We use a comma to separate direct speech and reporting clauses.
Poseidon said, “Take this message to Percy.”
Commas separate items in a list.
The Chimera had a lion’s head, the body of a goat, a serpent tail and
the ability to breathe fire.
The last two items are separated by the word and so no comma needed.
Commas show a grammatical break.
Commas help to show when information is extra (parenthetical) and help a sentence make sense.
The surface of the river, usually smooth, was beginning to bubble. A strange shape emerged, wading through the water.
It seemed, the little girl thought, like a boy.
Everyone had survived the Chimera, including Percy. It is sometimes indicated by
brackets or dashes.
This extra information can be removed and the sentence will still make
INDEPENDENT TASK - COMMAS
Add commas to punctuate this direct speech correctly.
“I sort of fell” said Percy.
A little girl said “That boy walked out of the river!”
“Whoa” said Grover.
“Okay ma’am” said a paramedic “you need to calm down.”
Add commas to punctuate these lists correctly.
On the observation deck were: Percy Grover Annabeth a ranger and a woman with a dog. The crowd included police paramedics
onlookers and reporters.
The Chihuahua grew to the size of a
Doberman then to a lion and then so tall its head touched the roof.
I waded towards Riptide grabbed it by the hilt capped it and it turned into a ballpoint pen again.
INDEPENDENT TASK - COMMAS
Add commas to separate the additional words, clauses and phrases from the main clause.
A block away every emergency vehicle in St Louis was surrounding the Arch.
As Percy walked out of the river a little girl shouted. Excitedly a reporter was talking in front of a camera. When he heard his name mentioned Percy kept his head down.
Grover who had been looking out for Percy hugged him.
They caught the train which was heading to Denver and slumped in the seats.
Add commas to indicate parenthesis.
Annabeth trying to look angry stood behind Grover.
They had seen the woman Echidna on the observation deck.
Percy could not ignore a summons from his Father Poseidon.
The train trundled west darkness falling towards Denver.
PE
Either:
Pick an activity from the challenge grid Or
If you are feeling more creative, we will be learning about control in order to dribble the ball in and out of cones. Can you come up with a game to play at home using the equipment you have that develops the same skill? Video yourself and email it in.
PHSE/OUTDOOR LEARNING
Today we are thinking about
what our dreams and plans are for the future.
What you will need: • An old jam jar • Paper or leaves • Colouring pens • Scissors
DREAM JAR
Collect some leaves, in a range of shapes.
Can you find all of these?
Mrs MacMeekin’s favourite British leaf shapes are Ginko and Tulip tree. Can you find those as well? (you can look them up if you don’t know what they look like.)
DREAM JAR
Either writing directly on the leaves using sharpies or
tracing around the leaf shapes onto paper of your choice
(tissue looks great, but it is fiddly) write your dreams for the future.
You may like to include:
Three things you love doing
and three things you would like to do in the future
Your favourite place
Something you are looking forward to
DREAM JAR
Get creative and decorate your dream jar with more leaves.
This looks great if you have tissue or different wrapping papers
along with the leaves.
Add your dreams to the jar. Keep your jar safe and keep adding your dreams to it.
THANK YOU LEAF
A THANK YOU CAN MAKE US SMILE
AND MAKE US FEEL SPECIAL. LEAVES PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART ON TREES. THEY CAPTURE SUNLIGHT AND HELP TO TURN IT INTO ENERGY AND FOOD FOR THE
TREE TO GROW. MANY OF OUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, TEACHERS AND
EVEN PETS PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART IN OUR LIVES AND MAKE US
FEEL WARM AND SAFE.
On the leaves you have left, write the names of those who are
important to you. Let them know that you think they are great and that you enjoy their company.
Share a memory of a time you had together. Add the leaves to your jar.
