    Monday 27th April Year 3 EAL Tiers 2 and 3

    WALT: practise past tense positive and negative forms and write a recount of
    the last paragraph

    1. Look at the last paragraph of ‘The Great Kapok Tree’ below. It is


    written in the present tense. Underline the verbs and circle the
    negative form

    Suddenly, the man wakes up! In front of him stands the rainforest child and all
    the creatures of the great Kapok tree. The man sees strange and beautiful
    plants, and he smells their fragrant flowers, but he doesn’t touch them. He
    feels the steam rising from the forest floor, but he doesn’t hear a sound,
    because the creatures are strangely silent. The man picks up his axe. He is
    about to hit the tree. Suddenly, he stops. He turns and looks at the animals and
    the child. Then, he drops the axe and walks out of the rainforest. He doesn’t
    come back.

    Irregular past tense verbs have a special form:


    eat – ate; write – wrote; go – went

    For the negative, don’t change the main verb. Use ‘didn’t’ instead
    play – didn’t play; eat – didn’t eat

    2. Read the last paragraph again and put the verbs in the past simple
    tense (positive and negative). Some are regular and some are
    irregular verbs.

    Suddenly, the man [a]___________(wake up)! In front of him [b]__________

    (stand) the rainforest child and all the creatures of the great Kapok tree. The

    man [c]__________(see) strange and beautiful plants, and he

    [d]___________________(smell) their fragrant flowers, but he

    [e]_____________________(not touch) them. He [f]__________(feel) the

    steam rising from the forest floor, but he [g]__________________(not hear)

    a sound, because the creatures [h]__________(be) strangely silent. The man

    [i]__________(pick up) his axe. He [j]__________(be) about to hit the tree.

    Suddenly, he [k]_____________(stop). He turned and [l]__________(look) at


    the animals and the child. Then, he [m]________________(drop) the axe and

    [n]_____________________(walk) out of the rainforest. He

    [o]_________________________(not come) back.

    3. Imagine you are the man. Write a recount of when you woke up, using

    your senses to describe the setting. Before you start, make notes in

    the table.

    I could smell I saw I heard I felt

    Suddenly, I woke up on the forest floor, at the foot of the great Kapok tree.
