Using conjunctions to add information about time, place and cause
Today, in our Year 3 online learning, we revised verbs and pronouns and learnt to identify a clause. Next, we used conjunctions to join clauses and extend sentences to give more information about time, place and cause.
Using the unusual picture of a rhino on a roof we came up with some sentences of our own. Bonus points for strong verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
Here’s mine to get the ball rolling….
The worried rhino quivered as the planks wobbled under his weight!
Although the rhino was anxious, he took a nervous step forwards.
Notice, I have used the conjunction at the start of the sentence to join the clauses.
Right Year 3…it’s over to you…
The anxious rhino trembled with fear when he walked nervously across the plank of wood.
Fearfully, the rhino walked as he saw the view of the other houses
Great work Hayley, and you managed to include an adverb too in each sentence 🙂
Thank you Mrs Byrne
Yesterday I enjoyed seeing all my friends and you.
Yes, I loved seeing you all too!
The rhino suffered a terrifying shock, thinking that this would be the last part of his adventure. As he nervously took a step forward, boards creaked, everything wobbled, but he took his fear into his pocket and reached the end.
Daniel, a good use of the subordinate conjunction ‘as’. Can you think of a better phrase to describe overcoming his fears? e.g. he swallowed his fear, or bravely…
Although the rhino was scared and was trembling he took his first step on the wobbly wooden piece of wood.
A great sentence Hannah. You’ve used the conjunction at the beginning to join two clauses. You’ve used a pronoun, some good alliteration and even some alliteration.
Thank you Mrs Byrne.
The rhino suffered a terrifying shock thinking that this would be the last part of his adventure. As he nervously took a step forward, boards creaked, everything wobbled, but without fear he survived to get to the other end.
Fabulous, well done Daniel 🙂
The big grey rino wobbled on the brown thin planks he was so terrified but he didn’t want to for his heart as he almost had a heart atak.
Well done Marcel. remember our ‘show-not-tell’ techniques. Rather than saying he felt he almost had a heart attack, maybe say his heart thudded loudly in his chest! 🙂
The worried Rino shivered with fear as he walked on the plank.
Great work Alex, a good way to describe the rhino and a good use of a conjunction 🙂
