Year 3 Home Learning 20th January 2021

Date: 19th Jan 2021 @ 4:14pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a nice day and enjoyed reading the funny chapter in Mr Stink, I found it funny that he kept calling Sir David the wrong name, asked him if he was wearing any makeup and asked to go to the lavatory in the middle of the show. Today’s chapter is just as funny, if not more funny – I bet you can’t read it without laughing.

Well done for the work you have done, I have been very impressed with what I have seen on Seesaw.

If you are finding any of it tricky you can:

• Draw things to help you in Maths like base 10.
• Use things in your house to help with Maths like coins, counters, toys.
• Write out the times tables you need for an activity before starting it.
• Use books and the internet for ideas.
• Discuss your work with people at home when they are not busy.
• Contact the school for support.

 

Reminders

Please keep sending me your work on Seesaw – I am so proud of you for the work I have seen so far. Today I would like you to send me a photo of your writing and of your spelling sentences.

Remember to bring your home learning book into school if you are coming in on some days.

You can change your school reading books whenever you need to, just let the school office know beforehand so we can get some books ready for you to collect.

 

Things that made me smile on Tuesday (you could write your own list too)

• The very funny Mr Stink.
• The sound of the rain on the windows.
• When it stopped raining J
• 9 of you have started the homophones challenge on Sumdog - amazing!
• 15 of you have started the times table challenge on Sumdog - woohoo!
• 20 of you have started the statistics challenge on Sumdog - yippee!

Reading

Please read out loud to somebody for 20 minutes.

Tell somebody everything you can about one of the characters.

 

Spelling

Here are your spellings for this week. They are homophones. Homophones are words which sound the same but have different meanings or spellings:

there, their, they’re, here, hear, see, sea, too, two, blue, blew

 

Write the long date: Wednesday 20^th January 2021

Write the title: There, their, they’re

 

Write at least 3 sentences using the correct spelling of there, their, they’re.

Here are some examples:

1. I just saw a pink fluffy unicorn over there.
2. Their pizza looks delicious, mmm!
3. They’re working very hard in school and at home.

Please send me a photo of your sentences on Seesaw. 

 

Writing:

Read pages 184 – 194 of Mr Stink. They are attached to this blog. I will definitely be laughing when I read this to the children in school.

 

Long date: Wednesday 20^th January 2021

Title – Can I infer a character’s thoughts and feelings?

You are going to write a diary entry today, as if you are Chloe. Imagine you have just got into bed after your day at the television studio.

Remember, you are pretending to be Chloe, so you won’t say Chloe, you will say I.

Here are some ideas of how you might want to start each paragraph.

Dear diary,

I have just got back from the funniest day of my life at the television studio. We were there because…

Mr Stink was so funny, he …

After he came back from the toilet, Mr Stink started telling everybody…

Mother made such a fool of herself when she …

When Mr Stink said I’m an absolutely fantastic girl, I felt…

I wonder what will happen tomorrow!

 

Here are some top tips of how to make your writing amazing:

• Include commas and exclamation marks.
• Include a question like – How could she think she would get away with telling all those lies?
• Include a simile.
• Include feelings.
• Start sentences in different ways.

 

Please send me a photo of your writing on Seesaw.

RE

During Collective Worship in the hall you have been looking at the fruits of the Holy Spirit. This has been the theme of Collective Worship since September.

Attached to this blog is a booklet. The booklet has activities which will help you to remember and think about the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Today, you can colour in or draw the front cover and then draw a picture about joy. It could be a picture of how you can make life happier for others, which is very important at the moment. If you would prefer, you can write a poem or a prayer about joy.
