My CARE Progress



I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year.


I am proud of my progress because I have already achieved my bronze and I am on my way with silver.

I'm not to far away from getting my silver I already have a third on my tick on my chart.


The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E because I don't have as many ticks in that area.


To achieve my SILVER award quicker I need to work harder to get more ticks.


The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is to remember to put my ticks in.

We will review CARE progress again at the end of the term.

I can apply my knowledge of adverbial clauses and connectives to see how ideas are linked in texts.

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning interesting because I learnt a lot about adverbial clauses and at the start I had no idea what it was.

In this activity (link to adverbial clause activity), I had to read a sentences and highlight the adverbial clause in them. Activity

In this unit I have been learning about:

In this unit, I found challenging learning all the different nouns.

Something new I learnt was how to identify different types of nouns.
