Pink Shirt Day

Every year, on the last Wednesday in February, we wear pink to show that kindness matters. Pink Shirt Day is about standing together and saying no to bullying.

• Be kind, not cruel.
• Respect everyone.
• Help, don’t hurt.
• Friends make school brighter.

Bullying has no place in our classrooms, playgrounds, or online. When we choose kindness, we make our school a safe and happy place for everyone.

What’s your message of kindness?

Modals

Modals are everywhere in our daily speech. Look at these sentences:

• I can ride my bike without help.
• You must wear a seatbelt in the car.
• I have to finish my homework today.
• She should drink more water. 
• May I open the window, please?
• He could solve the puzzle in minutes.
• Shall I carry your bag for you?

Modals are special helping words that show possibility, ability, necessity, rule or permission. 

Let's revise modal verbs!

Comparison of Adjectives

Who's faster - Superman or cheetah?
What's more exciting - playing video games or going to an amusement park?
Which holiday is the most exciting?

These comparisons use adjectives! They help us make our sentences more colourful and describe our world in fun and creative ways.

As you remember, when we compare, we usually use adjectives in two ways:

- we add -er to short adjectives or use more with longer ones when we compare two things or people (My bike is faster than yours. This book is more interesting than that one.),

- we add -est to short adjectives or use the most with longer ones (This is the tallest tree in the park. She's the most talented player on the team.).

Watch out for spelling of some short adjectives (This bag is bigger than that one.) and irregular ones (That's the worst film ever!)!

Inventions

 Imagine you are a robot or a game designer. Choose one topic, please. The following questions might help you.

    Describe your robot:

• What is the robot's name?
• What does it look like? Is it big or small? What colour is it? Is it shiny or not? Does it wear any clothes? Has it got arms, legs and eyes? How big are they? What colour are they?
• What is your robot like? Cheerful, serious...?
• What is it made of? Metal, steel, plastic, recyclable material...?
• What can it do?
• Who is it for?
• How can you order it? How much does it cost?

    Describe your online game:

• What's the name of your online game? What type of game is it?
• Where can you play it? How do you start the game? How many levels or programmes are there? What happens at each? How do you stop playing?
• What is the story about? Who are the characters? What are they like? What do they do?
• What is the aim of the game?
• What ages is it for?
• Why is this game different? Why should people play it?
• Where can you find the game? How much does it cost?

(Un)countable Nouns

Do you eat chocolate every day? How much water do you drink? How many pencils are there in your pencil case? 

These questions help us talk about countable and uncountable nouns.

Countable nouns are for things we can count, like apples or chairs. We use a or an with singular countable nouns (a bottle. an orange).

Uncountable nouns are for things we can't count, like milk or rice. But you can use portions to count uncountable nouns, like a glass of water or two sugars (two spoonfuls of sugar).
