Y5 Autumn Term Part 1. CW Lesson 5

SENTENCE TYPES

Truth to Teach (Source)

¾ God desires that good relationships be formed through honest and accurate
communication.

¾ Some sentences are statements; some are questions; some are instructions
or commands; some are exclamations.

¾ Questions can be made by changing the order of the words.

¾ Commands can be made by moving the verb to the beginning of the sentence.

Way to Work (Means)

1. Review the last lessons.

2. Let the children search for different kinds of sentences hidden in the room
(see separate sheet).

3. Gather back to discuss and categorise the sentences into statements,
questions and commands or instructions and exclamations. Note the

punctuation signs at the end of each type of sentence.

4. Show the children how questions can be made into statements and vice versa.
Talk about the order of the words changing to make a question.

E.g. Is the weather warm? The weather is warm.
The coat is blue. Is the coat blue?

5. Show how commands can be made by moving the verb to the start of the

sentence.

E.g. You are going home. Go home.
We close doors quietly. Close the door quietly.

6. The children could suggest how we distinguish between punctuation marks
needed for the different types of sentences.

7. Let the children attempt the worksheet.
