What does past tense mean?

This week in English we have been learning about verbs and past and present tense.  We have been learning how to add the 'ed' suffix to make words past tense and how to add the 'ing' suffix to make a verb present tense.  

In Maths, we have been learning to count larger numbers by adding the 10s first.  We have then been practising partitioning the numbers into tens and ones.

In Computing we recapped how to create Sprites suing Scratch Junior.  In Science, we have been looking at weather forecasts and how to record them. In DT, we have been learning the difference between fruits and vegetables and in Geography, we have been learning the different continents and where they are in relation to the oceans.
