LC: To use dictionaries to check meanings of words in the texts we read.

R: How old is Matilda?

I: How did Mrs Phelps feel about Matilda? 

C: Why do you think the word GROWN-UPS is in capital letters? 

Why do we use dictionaries?

Teacher model: 

• A dictionary can be used to look up the meaning of a word.

• You can also use a dictionary to check the spelling of a word.

• Dictionaries may also give other information about words, such as word type and word origin.

Your turn: Read the extract below and highlight words you do not know the meaning of and then find the meaning of the word using a dictionary.

Look at the facts you included in your infographic text.  Choose  a fact and construct a complex sentence using one of these conjunctions:

Choose a different fact and a different conjunction. Write a complex sentence using that fact.

Can you write two more sentences using different facts and conjunctions?
