WB: Monday 4th May, 2020
Oak National Academy is a new collection of high-quality lessons and online resources. Backed by the Government, it has been created in response to the coronavirus lockdown.
The online classroom offers free access to great teachers, delivering video lessons, quizzes and worksheets. Available for both primary and secondary levels, it covers a range of subjects. All of the lessons are ordered so your child can learn along with a clear plan. They provide new lessons and resources each week.
Oak National Academy will fit alongside other resources such as BBC Bitesize to offer a structure for the day for children until schools fully reopen.
There are two options if you choose to use this resource:
Either you can follow a set plan of lessons across a range of subjects – for this, click the Schedule option. Or you can access particular lessons in certain subjects – for this, click the Subject option.

BBC Bitesize is also providing daily online lessons. The homeschooling lessons have been created with teachers and other educational experts and feature a mix of videos, animations, practice activities, quizzes and games.

Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar - I can read and write words with suffixes
-
A suffix is a letter, or group of letters, that is added to the end of a root word.
-
Common suffixes include -s, -ed, -ing and -ly. Less common suffixes include -ment, -ness, -less and -ful. A suffix changes the meaning of the root word.
-
Examples: letter → letters; wash → washed; read → reading; slow → slowly.
-
Further examples: enjoy → enjoyment; kind → kindness; thought → thoughtless; help → helpful. Can you think of your own examples of root words with these suffixes?
-
https://www.theschoolrun.com/what-is-a-suffix is a helpful guide.
-
Look for examples of suffixes in your reading at home.
-
Write a list of words with suffixes. Try to use new words in your conversations with family!
