Student work on the smartboard from this morning

Today we learnt about irregular verbs and how to write them in past tense (break - broke). Then we thought about how those irregular words are written when you have a helping verb (has or have) infront of them ("He has a broken leg"). The students caught on quick! Then, we practiced choosing the correct form of the irregular verb in sentences in our workbooks. For example: We (saw, seen) the greatest football game. The verb we would choose is "saw". If the sentence was: We have (saw, seen) the greatest football game, then we would have chosen "seen" because there is a helping verb before it.

 We also did some work with our spelling words. The test is on Friday. Students tried to think of words that were antonyms and synonyms for their words this week. Some students got mixed up with the spelling of "road" and spelt it as "rode" which led to a good discussion of homophones!
