Year 5

Welcome to Year 5!

Year 5! Mrs Peyry has a couple of challenges for you...

1) How many words can you make by only changing ONE letter each time.  Can you beat my score of 10?

Here’s mine:                  Your starting word is:

head                                 line
read
reed
seed
seem
seek
peek
peck
deck
neck

2) How many modal verbs can you fit into one sentence?

Remember modal verbs are verbs of possibility:

Might, should, could, would, ought to, may, can, must, shall, will, have to, used to.

My Turn:

The cat should have seen the dog and ought to have run away quickly, however, it may have thought that the dog might not have seen it.

Your turn!
 

Lots of PSHE activities to try...
