LO: Can I use pronouns to avoid repetition?

When we are writing, we want to avoid repetition of words in order to keep our story interesting.  To avoid writing our character’s names over and over, we can use pronouns instead of the noun, eg. “Sarah’s ball” becomes “her ball”.  This is something you probably already do but it’s important to understand the grammar behind it. 

Watch the video then, when writing your story for English, try to ensure you avoid repetition and you use the correct pronouns according to the person etc.

Maths

Can I interpret line graphs?

Line graphs are used to show data which is continuous.  This means it can’t be organised into separate sections.  Transport, crisp flavours etc. are all individual items but measures like time and distance go on with no breaks so we have to use a different sort of graph.

Please watch the video to be introduced to line graphs and how we interpret them (“interpret” means using them to find out information).
