Focus: Spelling/ Grammar – Past tense
Please follow this link https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-investigate-suffixes-past-and-present-
tense-6nhkjc to go on the Oak Academy website. Please watch the video carefully. You will be asked to pause
the video so you can complete the activities in your book. If you do not have a book at home, please use some
plain paper paper for now. When the teacher asks you to repeat words, please do so you can learn to
pronounce the words. You can also complete the teacher’s sentences orally. At the end of the video, you will be
asked to practice this week’s spellings. You will find these words under the planning for Friday as well. Please do
your own spelling test next Wednesday.
Activity: Now that you remembered how to form the past tense of different verbs, please write 5-6 sentences
describing things you did during the Christmas holidays. I can’t wait to read about your time with your family,
your presents, the delicious food you had or any other activity you enjoyed doing! Please remember to use
capital letters and full stops. Please underline the verb in each sentence when you finish.
On the next page you will find an extra resource to help you remember the rules when forming the past tense:
The letters A, E, I, O, and U are called vowels. The other letters in the alphabet are called consonants. PE Every Wednesday, we have our PE lesson in the afternoon. Today, please choose your favourite “PE with Joe” video on youtube and have fun!

Focus: To research a famous artist.
Bronze Silver Gold
As it is Art week, we will be gathering information about our selected artist, Salvador Dali.
Please go over the slides on https://www.slideshare.net/AliceFernndz/salvador-dali-for-kids.
Without writing anything down, just think:
What is special about this artist?
Have you ever seen any artwork like his?
Look at this painting. Think: What is strange about this picture?
Activity: You will be gathering information about our selected artist, Salvador Dali and you will be creating
a fact file about the artist tomorrow.
Here are some possible websites you can use for your research:
https://www.ducksters.com/biography/artists/salvador_dali.php
https://www.coolkidfacts.com/salvador-dali/
https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/explore/who-is/who-salvador-dali
http://www.softschools.com/facts/artists/salvador_dali_facts/2819/
Today, please choose one of the websites above for your independent research and note down
as many facts as possible in your books. You will need the facts for tomorrow’s English lesson.

Please choose one of the following activities to do. Have fun!
1. Dali Mustache Portraits
Dali’s appearance was often an art performance in
itself and his moustaches were really funny! They were
flamboyant and were seen in a variety of shapes and
sizes, sometimes even decorated with flowers. Use
your coloured pencils or felt pens to make Dali
portraits with black pipe cleaners as moustaches! If
you don’t have pipe cleaners, try drawing a funny
moustache! Why not draw your own portrait and give
yourself a moustache?
2. Surrealism Collage
The very spirit of surrealism is combining odd,
unrelated elements together. Dali even
described his paintings as ‘dream photographs’.
Create your own surrealistic artwork, by making
a collage of anything you want. Will your collage
tell a story or have a hidden message? Colour in
your background and use old magazines,
newspapers or draw your own pictures to stick
on your collage to create some absolutely
original works of art!

Focus: To create a fact file using sub-headings.
A fact file is an information page that has a lot of facts about the artist we are researching. We can create fact files
for anything, not just artists but we will focus on Salvador Dali for now.
I would like you to think about the different instruction texts you have written in school so far. I will remind you of
some:
• How to wash a woolly mammoth.
• How to make stone soup.
Just like these instruction texts, when we are writing a fact file, we need to organise our writing so it’s easier for the
reader to understand the text. To do so we use headings and subheadings, just like you did when you were writing
the instruction texts in school.
Please watch this video to understand this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpVTo7bTnXU
As you can see a heading is similar with the title of our page.
Subheadings are smaller titles that tell you what the text that follows will be about.
For example, when you follow a recipe the words method and equipment are subheadings.
For example:
When was he born and when did he die? Where was he born? What sort of art was he producing? Where there any
interesting events in his life? (meeting Picasso)
Find some fun facts about the artist (he was scared of grasshoppers; he didn’t like to show his feet).
You can use these words as subheadings or you can make the more interesting! For example, instead of “Fun facts:”
you can use a question: “Have you ever wondered if anything funny happened in Salvador Dali’s life?”
Use the websites above (or research the artist independently on https://www.kiddle.co/ which is a safe search
engine for children)
Please remember to use a colon (:) or a question mark and to underline your subheadings.
On the next page, you can find a template you can use for your fact file. You can make your own if you prefer.

Please choose one of the following activities to do. Have fun!
1. Long Legged Clay Sculptures
Dali wasn’t just a painter; he also
wrote, sculpted and designed sets for
movies, plays and even shop
windows! Channel this trait of Dali’s
into these clay sculptures, based on
his long-legged elephants. Choose any
creature you like and use playdough if
you don’t have any clay at home. Do
you remember how hard it was to
make 3D shapes with playdough and
matchsticks last term? Try to make
your creature stand upright with
toothpicks or matchsticks as legs. If
you would like to challenge yourself
you can try including joints in the legs!
2. Surreal Elephant Collage
Dali enjoyed painting elephants and his painting, ‘The
Elephants’, is among the most popular of his works. The
painting shows regular sized elephants on extremely long,
spindly legs, completely disproportionate to its size! You can
create a lovely sunset background using red, orange and
yellow. Have a go at drawing your own long-legged elephant,
cut around it and stick it in the middle of your page. Do you
have a picture of you that you can stick on the elephant? It
will look like you are travelling! Where can your elephant
take you?
