Yesterday, you learnt about the 4 types of sentences.  Can you remember all 4 of them? Today, we will be learning about questions and commands in more detail, linked to a story from China, 'The Magic Paintbrush'.

Task 1: Can you decide whether these sentences are questions or commands?  Challenge: can you tell a grown-up which punctuation mark you would use at the end of each sentence?

• Go back to the classroom
• Can you see if there is anyone there
• Finish your lunch and then go out to play
• How high will your kite fly
• Do you think it is windy enough
• What is the capital of China
• Seize that boy
• Which continent is China in
• Eat all of your dinner

Task 3: Write either a question or command for these scenes from The Magic Paintbrush.  You could print out the pdf file if you want to (below).
