What will children learn?
This quiz focuses on the core requirements of the UK National Curriculum for Year 4 English. Pupils will practise identifying the first-person perspective, using past tense verbs correctly, and including informal, chatty language. By using simple sentences and clear visual cues, children will learn how to structure their thoughts and express feelings in a diary format. Our original character, Pip the bookworm, guides the children through each question, making the learning experience warm and encouraging.
How can teachers use it?

The resource includes a helpful word bank at the bottom of the page and sentence starters to help children articulate their ideas without the barrier of complex vocabulary. Teachers can use this as a formative assessment tool to see which pupils are ready to move on to independent writing and which may need further support with verb tenses.
