This week, we will continue using the Oak Academy for our English lessons. On their website, you will watch a video of a lesson taught by a teacher. Then, you be given some activities to have a go at.
These lessons will build up skills throughout the unit and you will produce a final written piece in lesson 5. Use the button in the right hand corner of the screen to navigate between sections of the lesson. You can pause the video and come back to it at any point.
If you have not finished last week's lessons, please finish those off first before starting a new unit. Remember to take a photo of your final piece every Friday to email in.
Don't forget the brilliant e-books on Bug Club.

Monday 8th June
To warm up your brain, do some Doodle Spellings or Nessy (if you usually do Nessy at school).
Today, you will be answering some questions about a text. Remember to use the text to help you answer questions. You can go back to earlier in the video so you can have the text up. Write the answers on lined paper or in your book. Please edit any you didn’t get correct the first time. It is easier if you pause and close the video and click next activity. You can always resume the video at any stage.
