Year 4 English Lessons – 18th May 2020

https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/year-4/#schedule

Oak National Academy is an online school funded by the government to support home learning.

The lessons are designed in steps that build upon each other; therefore, they should be completed in sequential order.

Each lesson contains a starter quiz, video input, activity sheet and a finishing quiz. The lesson sequences include a key text, reading comprehension, spellings, grammar and a writing activity.

We are following the scheme two weeks in arears.

Complete the quiz, watch the video, have a go at the activities (Challenge2) then finish with the second quiz.

We have provided a support activity (Challenge 1) if your child is finding the lesson tricky, and a challenge activity (Challenge 3) if your child completes the Oak National Academy worksheet very quickly.

You do not need to print the worksheets; your child could write their answers on a separate piece of paper.

Activities that could be completed on the worksheet have been saved as word documents on the class page so you could complete them in Word and save them on your computer. These have been saved as ‘Challenge 1’, ‘Challenge 2’ and Challenge 3’.
