Summer Term
Week 6
Monday I can use context clues to work
out the meaning of an unfamiliar word.
Vocabulary in Context
What is a vocabulary in context mean?
Discussion• What is context?
• How could context be useful to us when finding new vocabulary?
Vocabulary in Context
• Context simply means the situation something happens within.• Context helps us understand a phrase or situation that gives it the true meaning.
For example:Out of context – “Don’t go in there!” he said.
In context - “Don’t go in there!” he said as his brother started walking into the dark cave.
• Often, we can find the meaning of unfamiliar words by looking at the context clues around it.
• Context clues (or contextual clues) mean the surrounding language or phrases in a sentence that can help us figure out the meaning of a word.
• A common strategy is to replace the word we are unsure of what we think of a synonym of it may be and see of it still makes sense.
For example:He is very humble, he never shows off.
Even if we don’t know what humble means we can use the context clue of “he never shows off” to know that it means someone who doesn’t brag about their accomplishments.

Tuesday- SpaG
Tuesday I can spell most words on the
Year 5 and 6 word list and can explain what they mean.
What is word meaning?
• What is a dictionary?• What is a thesaurus?• What is a synonym?• What is an antonym?
Dictionary Thesaurus Synonym Antonym
A book or electronic resource that lists the words of a language (typically in alphabetical order) and gives their meaning, or gives the equivalent words in a different language, often also providing information about pronunciation, origin, and usage.
A thesaurus is a book of synonyms.It contains words written in an alphabetical order, this makes it very easy to navigate.
Words with a similar meaning are called synonyms.
Each word contains a list of words that mean the same or similar things.
We use a thesaurus to make our own writing more interesting and so we do not repeat the same words.
A word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.
Synonyms stop our work becoming dull or repetitive.
We can also use synonyms to change the formality of our writing or make it fit to an audience.
A word opposite in meaning to another.
Antonyms are important to help us change the intended meaning of our writing and help us to directly challenge or disagree with something that has been said.

Wednesday - SpaG
Wednesday I can spell most words on the Year 5 and 6 word list. I can spell unfamiliar words.
How do we use ‘is’ and ‘are’?
Class Discussion:• ‘Is’ and ‘Are’ are forms of what verb?
• When we use ‘is’ are we using singular or plural?• Can you think of an example of this?
• When we use ‘are’ are we using singular or plural?• Can you think of an example of this?
Is Are Singular Plural
IS refers to single use, talking about one person but not yourself (for that, use am).
ARE is plural so talks about more than one person, which can include you.
It can also be used for are question or statement about you used by someone else or when you ask a question.
Singular simply means referring to one thing.
Often this means just one person but can mean one group if they are spoken about as a collective.
To show singular we use ‘is’.
Plural simply means referring to lots of one type of thing.
Plural describes when we use collective nouns or talk about multiple of something.
To show plural we use ‘are’.
