Dear Parents, Carers, and Friends,

Welcome again to the Take Shape Newsletter!

In Unit 6, the children are going to:

learn words about sports

describe how they are doing actions: slowly, carefully, etc.
talk about problems with too and not enough: These shoes are too small. They arent big enough.
identify and practice forming adverbs (changing from y to i, e.g. noisy noisily)
use it and them to avoid repetition: I like basketball, but Im not very good at it. I play soccer with
my friends; I meet them at the park.
write an article about sports and exercise.

The children are also going to learn about the value of cooperation:

Its good to take part in school activities.

At Ask your child: Can you talk about the different kinds of Olympic sports?
Help Play a game with your child: Say actions with different adverbs while your child
ME @Home acts it out, e.g. walk slowly, read the book carefully, run to the door quickly,
play volleyball fast, eat carefully.

I hope your child is enjoying learning with Take Shape!

From,

(The English Teacher)
