In Y4H we were fishing for words to use in our sentences earlier this week.
Does anyone remember what ‘two’ types of words we were fishing for?
Could you share any examples of the word types and put them into a sentence?
No words were harmed in the making of this lesson. All words caught during this learning were quickly and humanely used to create a sentence and then released.
The other type of word was irregular plurals.
child-children
I am a child.
There is thirty six children in our class.
Great Jack. That was the other word type we were fishing for and a great example of one.
The other type of word was irregular plurals.
Lady-ladies
A lady bought some daffodils.
Some ladies went to the cinema.
Well done remembering the other word type Olivia.
Lady/ladies isn’t one of the irregular plurals though. It is from one of the plural patterns we have looked at. It follows the same pattern as the words baby, lorry and ruby. With these words we replaced the y with i and then add es, to form the plural.
Do you remember what type of letter had to come before the y for us to use this pattern?
I know that we were fishing for irregular plurals and homophones !!!
Homophones
Be-bee.
I want to be a nail artist when I grow up.I saw a bee(it stung me)
Irregular plurals
Mouse-mice
I saw a mouse.Maddie saw some mice.
It was a vowel Mr Hastey and vowels are :
A,E,I,O,U.
Lady, baby, lorry, ruby. Check really carefully which letter type is before the y.
It is a consonant .I understand it now.
The types of words were irregular plurals and homophones.An example of a homophone is wail and whale and a example of a irregular plural is mouse and mice.Sometimes young children wail when they do not get their way.The whale is the worlds biggest animal.A mouse is a harmless animal.Some houses are infested with mice.
Excellent identification and application of those word types Maxxie!
I really enjoyed fishing for words . Can we do it again?
This sounds like a really fun lesson and the children have remembered so much. Well done you lot.
I really enjoyed doing the fishing I wish it was real fish.I think it was for homophones for example . night and knight they both have the same sound but mean different .flower and flour. One is as in a garden flower and one is baking, this is the flower as in a garden flower and the other one is baking.
There was different types of steps step 1 get your A3 peace of paper, step 2 shade all of your A3 peace of paper but when you stuck down the materials if some of the material was on the edge you would have to fold it at the back of your paper, step 3 get a black peace of paper and draw the colliery and after you’ve drawn the colliery cut it out and when you’ve finished that turn them over and glue them to your background and then you’ve got your self a colliery!!!!!!!!!
Olivia
We were fishing for homophones Mr Hastey.
Cell-sell
I am trapped in a cell.
I have some thing to sell.
Too-two
I went to the cinema and mum came too.
I had two pieces of chocolate.
Mr Hastey
Well done Olivia. Homophones were indeed one of the word types we were using. Thank you for the examples and using them in sentences.
