Y5 Summer Term Part 2. CW Lesson 9
HOMOPHONES, SYNONYMS AND ANTONYMS

Truth to Teach (Source)

Matthew 7:15 ‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.’

 Things which sound the same are not always what they appear to be.

 Homophones sound the same but have a different meaning and spelling.

 Review teaching on homophones, synonyms and antonyms.

 Review teaching on there, they’re and their

Way to Work (Means)

1. Review previous lessons.

2. Show the children a mobile phone and ask them if they remember what we mean by

homophones. SSDMAS = same sound, different meaning and spelling

SSDMASS

3. Talk about when to use there, they’re and their. Talk about the use of to, too and

two.

4. Review synonyms which are words with similar meanings (‘s’ for similar; ‘s’ for
synonyms). e.g. tiny – small; loud – noisy; monotonous – boring

5. Review antonyms (anti=against) reminding the children of Anti-Christ meaning against
Christ. Antonyms are opposite words, e.g. tall - short; wide – narrow.

6. Give the children the worksheet to move around the room with a pencil and paper to

find the missing homophones, synonyms and antonyms (see separate sheet).
