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.
This week, we will be reading and writing poetry.
Don't forget to read some e-books on Bug Club.

Today we have a grammar lesson about the past tense. You will be learning about verbs (doing words) and how we can change them to the past tense by adding the suffix –ed. Listen to Miss Browne as she explains what a verb is and how to add –ed to change them to the past tense. First, you will write some verbs and change them to the past tense. Next, you will write some sentences and change them to the past tense. To do this, you will need to find the verb in the sentence first.
