Kavi Looks Back on the Whole Year

"What a year, young scholars!" cheered Kavi. "We've joined two ideas into one complex sentence with a subordinate clause, we gave the apostrophe its two jobs — short forms and showing who owns what — we learned to tell there, their and they're apart, and we read the pictures hidden in similes and metaphors. Today we use all of it together — one grand look back before Stage 6!"

What your child will learn

1Four big things we learned this yearThis year we built longer sentences, gave the apostrophe its two jobs, kept there / their / they're straight, and read the pictures inside figurative language. Here they all are together.

2Is it a simile or a metaphor?A simile compares two things using like or as — as quiet as a mouse. A metaphor says one thing is or was another — the classroom was a zoo. Tap each one into the right box.

3Read this page — top to bottomTap each line in order. Listen for the year's skills at work — a complex sentence, each apostrophe's job, the there/their/they're trio, and a simile.

A peek inside

Join these into one sentence: The match was cancelled. The pitch was flooded.

'because' gives the reason → add it as a subordinate clause

Try this at home: Join with a conjunction: 'I wore a coat ___ it was cold.' (because / although)
