English

On this page you will find an outline of the work that I would like you to complete in English. Each day will roughly follow the same format of our lessons in school. You will be given a set of weekly spellings to learn based on the spelling rule for that particular week and each day there will be a task linked to this. I will also be setting you a daily 'grammar blast' activity which you will do using your SATs Companion account. In addition to this, you will have a main objective to achieve each day which will link to our class book this half-term: Flotsam.

If the main task needs to be accessed via your Teams account, I will provide a link for this.
