English task:

LO: I can use conjunctions to add more detail to my sentences.

There are two types of conjunctions.

• A co-coordinating conjunction (and, or, but) joins two simple sentences, that are as important to each other, together.
• A sub-ordinating conjunction (because, if, when, that) is used when the second part of the sentences isn’t as important as the first bit.

1. Read the powerpoint below and answer the questions on each slide by choosing the most suitable conjunction to join the two sentences.

2. Complete the questions on the word document and have a go at the challenge!

Collect the following materials:

pencil, sponge, rubber, cork, ball, apple, paper clip, stone, fork, elastic band.

Firstly, make a prediction (guess) and say which objects will float and which will sink.

Use a tick or a cross on the table to make your prediction.

Next, fill a container with water, then collect the objects and place each one on the surface of the water, one at a time to find out if they float or sink.

Once the table is completed look at your results and answer the following questions.
