Understanding post-modified sentences


Why is this important?
Understanding these more complex sentences enables children to
process more complex instructions by building up their knowledge of the
grammatical system and the unspoken rules that govern it. It also helps
children to be able to relate back a new piece of information to something
they already know.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What to do
• Gather together some toys, e.g.

Big and little ducks (or other favourite toys).
Some big and little objects (e.g. cup/chair/bed).
• Give the child an instruction:

‘The duck sitting on the bed is little.’
‘The duck holding the cup is big.’
‘The duck standing on the chair is big.’
N.B. You will need ‘big’ and ‘little’ objects as well as ducks because the child may
process the last part of the sentence as

‘the bed is little’ rather than ‘the duck is little’.

FAITH
  • Through our Christian school and ethos, we all aim to believe in ourselves, each other, our teachers, leaders and parents. With reflection and prayer, we trust in God that our prayers will be heard. We know that every child is a child of Jesus, treating everyone with respect and dignity that they deserve.

    Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
    Matthew 7:7

  • FAITH

WISDOM
  • We aim to build our pupils’ and teachers’ confidence, delight in their teaching & learning and discipline in seeking wisdom; gaining the truth, knowledge, understanding and skills they will need in their everyday lives. We offer a broad and inspiring curriculum that nurtures emotional intelligence, creativity and remembering of important knowledge. We teach and learn collaboratively leading to our pupils developing the life skills of learning.

ASPIRATION
  • We aim to be the best we can be. Whilst nurturing our pupils’ and staff, we encourage and drive them to aspire to achieve their hopes and dreams. We are honest in the fact that this will take hard work, perseverance and resilience.

    For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
    Jeremiah 29:11

COMMUNITY
  • Above all we aim to show compassion to ourselves and each other. By developing strong relationships and friendships we develop a true understanding of each other.

  • We are a family. We show compassion for all members of our community irrespective of gender, ethnicity, religion or sexuality. We strive to be ‘courageous advocates’ for our local, national and global community.

    There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
