Writing - Shakespeare - Macbeth

Introduction - quickly remind yourself of tenses using this video.

In this lesson, we will revise the three tenses: past, present, future. We will then break them down into past, present and future progressive tense. Lastly, we will recap knowledge of how regular and irregular verbs change in the past tense.

This lesson talks about using past progressive tense (which simply means the action carried on for sometime) and the past participle. Here are some examples, the video will show you more.

Simple past tense - He walked to school.

Past progressive  -  He was walking to school. 

Simple past tense - She ate her dinner.

Past progressive - She was eating her dinner.

Past simple - The children jumped in the puddles.

Past Progressive - The children were jumping in the puddles.

Orange and Red - Pause the video as you go along and write three sentences as requested at the end.

Blue - Listen to the video and complete the tasks as you go along. At the end can you write any three sentences using past tense, if you find it tricky, start your sentences with Yesterday I ............... Then tell me three things you did yesterday. 

Maths - Fractions to decimals

Today you will be using diagrams to learn how to convert fractions to decimals, then moving on to calculating using multiplication. Remember with a fraction you need to 'do the same to the top as you do to the bottom'. Click here for your learning video.

Green and Yellow - Complete questions 1,2,4 and 6

Orange and Red - Complete questions 1,2,3 and 5

Blue - Now that you have mastered addition and subtraction we are going to begin multiplication and division. It would be good for you to practise your times tables, you can do this using education city, TTRockstars or by jotting them down. Your first lesson will be multiplying 2digit numbers by 1 digit number - I know you were all confident with this in class but it is a good to remind ourselves of the skill. Here is your learning video.

Foundation -
