Focus for Year 1 and 2: Adjectives

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/zy2r6yc

Watch the video about adjectives. Adjectives are words that describe nouns (things, people or places). E.g. There is a red balloon in the cloudy sky. Adjectives are normally placed before the noun, but can be listed in a sentence as well (Y2). E.g. My lego house is blue, red and yellow. OR My lego house is tall, strong and multi-coloured.

1. Please have a go at the games below the video on the website.
2. Can you write sentences with adjectives about things you can find around the house?

E.g. In my tidy garden I can see a bouncy trampoline with a blue net. 

Another video about adjectives is below:
