Core English lessons:

For this week, the children will use 'The Lighthouse' video (link below) and activity pack to complete tasks for English.

Tuesday 23rd March:

Watch a short film called 'The Lighthouse' and use the activity pack link (page 3) to answer the questions as directed.

Wednesday 24th March:

Warm-up activity: Use page 4 of the activity pack - 'Keep your eyes open' and cross off each item as you see it in the video. You may need to watch it more than once.

Main activity: Then use pages 6 & 7 of the activity pack to write your own diamante poem using 'The Lighthouse' as your focus. Follow the instructions on page 6 to do this and use the template on page 7 to complete the task.

Thursday 25th March:

Complete page 11 (Lighthouse comprehension) and answer the questions about the text on the sheet. You might also choose to do the word search on page 5 of the pack as a fun extra.

Friday 26th March:

Use pages 12 & 13 for today's lesson where you have the chance to write the lighthouse story from the point where the lamp smashes and the ship approaches. Follow the instructions and helpful tips for writing on page 12 of the pack and use page 13 to write the story. If you find writing the story too tricky, you could use page 14 of the booklet instead and make a comic strip of 'The Lighthouse' story instead based on the short film clip.
