Hello, you lovely bunch of Y3s!
You’ve done it! Another week done and dusted and we honestly couldn’t be prouder of you all. We can’t wait to see all of you and we are missing you immensely. Keep sending us all of your lovely work and photos to our emails as it is certainly keeping us smiling.
We hope that you have enjoyed looking at ‘The Stone Age Boy’ and learning more about the Stone Age. It’s very interesting. If you haven’t managed to read the entire story then make sure you continue to read it. It’s full of fascinating facts and explains a lot about the Stone Age.
This week we are going to continue with the Stone Age and looking at the ‘Stone Age Boy’ text. We also have lots of other activities for you to have a go at. Please remember to just try your best and we are all so proud of you.
Stay safe, keep washing those hands and enjoy your home learning.
From all of your Y3 teachers.
English - WEEK 9 – 08.06.20 Daily Tasks
Reading Make sure you read at least 4 times this week. Continue to record your reading in your diary. You can also take it in turns to read with a parent or sibling too. This week whilst you are reading, you might like to - Write a diary entry as if you are one of the characters. - Magpie all of the impressive vocabulary that you see to use in your writing. - Draw your favourite character and add information about that character around the outside. - Write a quiz about a chapter or section of the book for someone to answer.
Writing There are a few activities that we have set for you this week. Each activity has its own PDF worksheet just like previous weeks. Remember you don’t need to finish all activities in the week but there are plenty for you to choose from.
Stone Age Boy Activities
Compare life from the Stone Age to Now Using the text and information that you already know, use the activity sheet to create a list of things that happen in each era. Compare what is similar and different to now.
Write a letter to Om. Using the comparison grid that you have created, write a letter to Om, the girl in the book, to tell her what life is like in 2020. What has changed and what is similar to life in the Stone Age.
Stone Age Boy Speech On the activity sheet that has been provided, use the image from the text to write the conversation that Om and the boy would have had together when they walked into the cave. Remember the tricks to speech - Inverted commas around what is being said. - Capital letter after opening inverted comma. - A piece of punctuation before the closing inverted comma. - New line when a new speaker starts. - Make sure that you add description after about who said what and how they said it e.g. “I miss you all lots!” Miss Freemantle said with tears streaming down her face.
Other Activities
Spelling activity Using the activity sheets and links provided in the spelling section below, have a go at learning the spellings for your group to the new rule. Its prefixes this week. Give it your best go, be creative and enjoy it.
Handwriting You all know that we love neat, joined and legible handwriting in Year 3 so ensuring that we always keep having a go and try our best will make us super proud. Have a go at copying out the poem ‘Windy Nights’ onto a piece of paper or onto handwriting paper. Remember to form all of your letters properly and take your time. Don’t rush it.
Rainbow Poem Using the template and examples that have been given to you, have a go at writing an acrostic poem using the word RAINBOW. Mrs Donelly has created an example to have a look at and magpie ideas from. Hopefully you’ll be able to create some art work to attach to the poem as well. They will look amazing when they are all finished. If you finished, send a photo to your class teachers. We’d love to see them all.
Education city https://ec1.educationcity.com/ We haven’t set any Education City games to your log-ins this week however you can still access the website and search for any English games that you would like to play/practise. Make sure that you are playing the games that will help you learn things you aren’t sure of yet. The Y3 teachers can see all of the learning that you have been doing already and it would be great to see more of this happening. Keep up the hard work and remember that the more you practice the better you will become. Practice makes progress.
