Today’s specific activities:

1. PE: Today why not head out on a family bike ride? Or if you loved the challenge last week, this week you could try a running challenge: Who can run whilst keeping a sheet of paper on their tummy without it falling down? You could create a family race once you have had a little practise, or see how long you can keep it on for without. You could even turn this into a mini investigation to see if the type or size of paper makes a difference to your success… I look forward to seeing your photographs.

2. Sum Dog: Keep going with this week’s challenges!

3. Purple mash: If you haven’t yet completed this weeks challenge, today is your final chance..

Miss Bassett.

A little something for the weekend:

The film Revolting Rhymes (2016), combines some of the stories above and can be accessed in two parts: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u52E05DAN_4 (Part One) Note: PG certificate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKhraBhAABA (Part Two) Note: PG certificate

Year 3 Friday 1st May Learning from Home

Good morning children. I can’t believe it’s nearly the weekend again, I hope that you have enjoyed your learning this week.

Reading

There has been some amazing reading going on this week, with lots of people reaching their targets, some twice and lots more people getting sooooo close. Keep reading and don’t forget to let us know when you have reached your target so that we can celebrate. Well done everyone, keep up the good work. Congratulations to Mason who has reached his target.

Maths

Here are the answers from yesterday’s maths. How did you get on?

Look here for today’s maths challenges.

English

Today we are going to write the final chapter in our story. So re-read Chapter 5 below.

Just like we have done before, you are going to use the chapter above to help you to write your own chapter, but again 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 speech. Using the same sort of plan as the author in the story you are going to write your own Chapter 5.

Think carefully about how you are going to write this final part of the story. Have the children really learned their lesson? (I don’t think so - Ben just asks for a bacon sandwich and thinks that everything will be okay).

Think carefully about what they say to each other. How do they say it? Remember to add an action to explain in more detail.

Look at how the author has referred to the warning that was given at the beginning of the story. How will you do this?

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 and create a clear picture for the reader.

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 5, read it through carefully to make sure that it makes sense.

Happy writing!!

RE

It’s Friday again, so it’s time for some RE.

Read the story of Doubting Thomas.

How do you think Thomas felt? Can you understand why Thomas felt like that? Have you ever been told something but because you haven’t seen it for yourself you are not sure whether to believe it or not?

Task 1 Write a list of questions you would like to ask Thomas about what happened and how he came to believe in Jesus’ resurrection.

Task 2 Think about Jesus’ words ‘Blessed are those who have not seen me…’ What do you think He meant by these words? How do these words apply to us today? Write a short paragraph about what you think Jesus meant by this and how these words apply to us today.

Task 3 Thomas didn’t believe because he did not see Jesus. Where do you see Jesus? Draw a picture of where you see Jesus today. (I see Jesus in the many wonderful things that I see people doing to help other people. What sort of things do you see Jesus in?)

This weeks learning from home photos

There seems to be more and more learning happening at home! This week we have a record number of photos to show. Well done everyone and keep up the good work.

Day 4 - Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Use the link below to listen to and enjoy Goldilocks and the Three Bears from Revolting Rhymes up to 3:59 mins.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxHn2v3dz5E

Jot down new or interesting words to explore meanings and discuss, e.g. delinquent, tot, suggestion, distressing, house-proud, cherubs etc. Model orally putting new words into different sentences and encourage your child to do the same. Listen from the start to 3:59 mins again. The narrator repeatedly asks, in response to Goldilocks’ actions, how would you feel? Pause each time this is asked and discuss.
The narrator also makes clear her dislike for Goldilocks all the way through the poem. Discuss how the narrator might describe Goldilocks, e.g. Naughty, spoilt, selfish. Do you agree? Re-watch from 3:36 – 3:59 mins. Pause and make a list of all Goldilocks’ crimes.
Imagine that you are Goldilocks. Write a letter to the narrator, apologising for your crimes, perhaps providing some explanation as to why you did what you did. Just like on Tuesday, remember to lay out your letter with your address, the date, to and from. Check spelling and punctuation in each sentence together.

Finish watching to the end of the clip. Do you think if the narrator had received your letter, the ending could have been different?

Year 4 Home learning for Thursday 30th April

Maths

If you found yesterday’s lesson tricky, it is well worth revising fractions on IXL. Y1 - Y7 revise recognising fractions.

Today’s lesson moves on to equivalent fractions. Watch carefully and do your best. Don’t Give up Sadie Spider. If you are finding it a little too hard, you could revise equivalent fractions from Year 3 here. Week 2 lesson 5 ‘Equivalent Fractions’ is good.

English

Today we will be reading a little more of the story and thinking about the characters. I have copied the task I want you to do underneath the video. This video is for today and tomorrow’s lesson so you will stop it when I say to complete your activity then return to it tomorrow.

Dear year 4

I am so delighted to see how hard you are trying at home. I know it is a very different situation from being in class but is so lovely to see so many of you adjusting to it - you are really into the swing of it now - those persuasive letters were FANTASTIC!!!!

I’m just busy writing your school reports at the moment which I am enjoying, but it makes me miss you a lot!

Keep it coming year 4 - keep trying your very hardest - YOU ARE THE MASTERS OF YOUR OWN LEARNING JOURNEY!

Year 3 Wednesday 29th April Photos from your Learning from Home
