Day 3 - The Tummy Beast
Use the link below to listen to and enjoy The Tummy Beast from Dirty Beasts by Roald Dahl.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tinzhrgFILE

Watch the clip again, this time while following the text, accessible here:
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51659/the-tummy-beast

If you are able to, print off the text from the link above. Highlight the lines spoken by the mother in one colour, and those spoken by the child in another.

Use this highlighting to help you read the text aloud together. Put on your best character voices to perform! Perhaps you could take on different roles in your family!

Discuss what is happening in the poem. Why do you think the mother doesn’t believe the child? How is the child feeling when the mother doesn’t believe them? What happened to the mother at the end? What do you think the mother might say when she recovers?

Write a diary entry as if you were the child or the mother, recounting the key events of the day. You could even pinch some key words and phrases used in the poem!

Year 3 Tuesday 28th April Learning from Home

Good morning Year 3. Thank you for all of your photos yesterday. We hope that you are ready for another day of exciting challenges. Work hard and have fun and don’t forget to keep smiling and be kind.

Reading

Choose a quiet place and get out your book. Read for about 30 minutes. Don’t forget to quiz if you have finished your book. Lots of you are nearly at your target. Think carefully about the questions and don’t rush. Let us know if you reach your target and then we can celebrate. Isabella has met her target for the second time this half term - wow! Fantastic reading Isabella. Enjoy this quiet time to get lost in your reading and maybe you could join our 100% bunch of readers!

Maths

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths challenges.

Here are today’s maths challenges, please click below.

English

Yesterday you looked at your Chapter 1 again and edited it. Re-read it again because today we are going to carry on and write Chapter 2 and you need to know where you were up to.

Re-read Chapter 2 of the House Haunting - click on the button below.

You are going to use the chapter above to help you to write, but you are going to make it your own. Look carefully at how the author has used description and powerful verbs. Look at how they have added adverbs and a little speech. Using the same sort of plan as the author in the story you are going to write your own Chapter 2.

Think carefully about how you are going to describe the inside of the house as the boys (or girls) move from room to room exploring. Make sure you create a clear picture with your words. (The house in the story is musty and dusty. It’s quiet and still. Cool but there is a chink of sunlight coming in through the window.) What do you want your house to look like? Think about the best words to choose for the best impact. Remember to think carefully about the verbs that you use - select really powerful ones to add to the impact of your story. You want to create excitement and suspense in your chapter.

When the boys (or girls) venture upstairs (that’s a good powerful verb!!) make sure that it gets even more exciting. Have one of the children whisper something. What will they say? (Don’t forget to use “ “ around what they say.)

Then as you describe them going up the stairs, add the noise that they hear - what sort of noise is it?.(loud or quiet?) Add an adverb here to add to the suspense - “suddenly” is quite a good one. Can you add some description to show how the boys are feeling without actually saying the boys were scared? Look back to Wednesday’s lesson (chapter 3) from last week and see how some things were inferred. Can you add some inferred meaning in your writing?

Make sure that your handwriting is really neat and clear and is joined up please. Think carefully about your spelling and remember to use punctuation.

When you have finished your chapter 2, read it through carefully to make sure that it makes sense.

Then read Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 together.

Don’t forget to send us some photos of your writing so that we can read and share your Chapter 2.

Happy writing!!

Computing

I was so impressed with your coding children, I bet your grown ups were too as we didn’t do coding when we were at school. Have a look at lesson 2 of coding and see today’s challenges.

Day 2 - Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf
The link below takes you to a printed version of the text, together with an audio recording by the author, Roald Dahl. For the learning today, you will need to pause the recording at various points to make predictions.
https://childrens.poetryarchive.org/poem/little-red-riding-hood-and-the-wolf/

Introduce the poem and explain that you are going to listen to it in parts. Start listening and then pause the recording at 1:02 mins. Make predictions. What do you think might happen next? What happened next in the original tale?

Resume the poem. Pause again at 1:40. Recap what has just happened. Ask, what does the wolf want to do next? Discuss the need to warn Little Red Riding Hood! Write Little Red Riding Hood a letter to warn her of the Wolf’s intentions and the need to stay away from Grandma’s house! Perhaps you could write as if you were a woodland animal – a friend of Little Red Riding Hood.

Remember to lay out your letter with your address, the date, to and from. Try to convince Little Red Riding Hood as much as you can to stay away! Check spelling and punctuation in each sentence together.

Finish the session by resuming the reading of the poem. How is it different to the original tale? Are there any parts that surprise you? Which version do you prefer and why?

FLUTE ALERT!

Dear Year 4,

Mrs Maddocks, the flute teacher has realised she has left her OWN flute in one of your flute cases! The week before schools closed whilst Mrs Mather was getting pupils to pack away she was helping a couple of pupils in a small room and somebody accidentally packed away her flute. 

It says ‘miyazawa’ on the neck. Please could you all check.

If you have it, could you please keep it safe during lockdown - or drop it off at the school.

Thanks,

Mrs Lyons

Father I pray that you will cover my child with your love. Psalm 33:22
