Challenge your pupils' knowledge and understanding of tenses with this engaging Year 2 Simple Past and Present Tenses Application writing activity. Children are presented with a passage about a hidden box that is written in the present tense. They identify the verbs and rewrite the passage in the simple past tense.

This resource would make a great assessment tool or alternatively, could be used as a stimulus for a guided writing session as a class or in smaller groups. A modelled answer is provided for you to either share with your class as a good example or to aid your marking.
