The activities I am going to publish here are based on the Competency based English new syllabus for Grade 6 Sri Lanka. However, the activities will be created in order that any language learner or teacher can use them for English language development.
I also need to mention here in short about the essays that I will publish below from time to time. The essays have been written by my youngest son Kulith Tharuna under my supervision to suit the age group. He is a grade 11 (2020) student of Negombo South International School, Nittambuwa, Sri Lanka.
I will take every precaution to make the activities appealing to the young learner in Grade 6.
My objective here is not explain any lessons, but to help you with activities needed to establish what you have explained or learnt in the classroom.
Keep in touch with the page and I hope to contribute activities for you here in Sri Lanka and around the world. I am starting this page in keeping with many requests from my readers who always encourage me.

Paragraph writing is usually an integral part of a language paper. It is a testing tool a teacher uses to assess a learner's ability to express an idea briefly using correct language. Paragraph writing is the 8th Question on the OL first paper. Given below is the marks distribution for paragraph writing. Read the paragraphs and think how you could make them your own.
The SK Video (Sajendra Kumara) Channel contains short video clips which I hope would be useful for both teachers and students. They could be used in your classroom teachings. Probably your students may like a break from the stereotype classroom teaching for a few minutes.
The Channel also contains other video clips related to history , nature , college life and people. The blog page here brings all the clips to one platform.

Dear teachers,
Do not merely get your students to answer these simple poems and switch on to another. First build up a fine bridge between your students and the poem. Your students will walk over slowly into the poetic world. Let them have that fun with you.
Then let your students attempt the questions and finally make sure that you lead a healthy discussion. The poems I publish here create a background for you to guide them deeper into the poems.
Today, most of our teachers have become quite mechanical and do not let the students to peep into the literary world.
I was made to leave this remark here because I chanced to listen to some young lady teacher explaining a poem in her language class. She did not treat the poem the way she should have done it and roughly touched upon the surface of the poem for the sake of doing it.
Do justice to the poems and the poets by discussing them with your students. Listen to what your students speak of them. Let your students truly enjoy a poem. Do not steal that right from them. Be well prepared before discussing a poem with your students.

Once upon a time there lived four Brahmin friends. Three among them were well educated in Vedic scriptures and other fields. However, they lacked intelligence. The fourth friend was uneducated but he excelled in intelligence.
One day, the four friends were engaged in a serious conversation with regard to their future. They said they couldn't make proper use of their educatedness by staying in their home country. So, they decided to serve some other king in the East and make their future better.
Thus, as discussed, the four friends left home early in the morning the very next day. They walked in the direction of the east.
On the way, the first Brahmin friend stopped and expressed his concern over the fourth Brahmin friend who was uneducated.
The second Brahmin friend added, " Yes, we cannot share our hard earned wealth with someone who is uneducated."
The third Brahmin who felt sympathetic for their good old friend said, "We've been friends since our childhood. We've always been together. Therefore, it's my opinion that a part of our wealth should go to him as well."
The four friends resumed the journey. On the way, they had to walk through a dense jungle infested with most ferocious wild animals. The four friends being tired after walking a long distance, decided to rest a while under a huge shady tree.
The friends who observed the surrounding noted some skeletal remains. Upon closer examination, they realized that they were those of a lion died a few years ago.
The educated friends thought that it was an opportunity to show how educated they were by putting together the bones and bringing the dead beast back to life.
Thus they set about working. The first Brahmin friend fixed the bones. The second Brahmin friend fed the skeleton with flesh and blood. Finally, when the third Brahmin friend got ready to blow life into the lion the fourth friend, the uneducated one , who was watching all this drama with horror and surprise , intervened and said , " Stop! Stop! What do you think you are going to do? You are going to bring a ferocious beast back to life. The moment it is alive, it'll definitely kill the four of us. If you love your life, don't do this."
The third friend who was furious to hear this said , "Go away uneducated fool and let me show everyone the power of my knowledge."

The fourth friend said, "Well, then , wait just one minute until I climb up this tree. "
The fourth friend climbed up the tree in a flash. The third friend blew life into the dead lion. The lion sprang up with a loud roar, killed the three friends and disappeared into the jungle."
The fourth friend watched all this in agony. He was shocked to see the three good friends lying dead under the tree torn into pieces. He walked back home mourning the death of his three friends.
