Happy Friday Squirrels.

English

Today we are going to have a look at the prefix ‘un-’. A prefix is something that is added to the beginning of a word. It changes the meaning of the word.

For example:

un + kind (someone who is nice helpful) = unkind (someone who is not very nice or helpful).

Can you add ‘un’ to the words in bold and see how the meanings are changed?

1. Abi is being kind to Tom.

2. Dad will load the car.

3. Bill is sometimes friendly to Alfie.

4. I am feeling well today.

5. My house is tidy.

6. James is happy.

7. Climbing up the tree was safe.

The flag below is the Union Jack. It is the flag on the United Kingdom. It is made up of three of the flags from above. Can you work out which ones?

Fact of the day.
