Swallows 20th April 2020 - Home Learning

Date: 18th Apr 2020 @ 3:09pm

Good Morning Swallows!!

Hope fully the weekend treated you as well as it did me. I have spent the weekend gardening (the grass has never been as green!) and out in the sunshine catching some ‘rays’ man! 😎

I hope the weekend has treated you as well, Those of you like Ava Mills will know by now how we are missing our beloved Everton  - or just the sports teams / people that you love and are usually getting ‘stuck -in’ each weekend. This weekend I played my brother-in-law at FIFA and you will be pleased to know we beat Man Utd 3-1!! Nothing like a few bragging rights! Take care all of you, of your family and your beloved pets. Get ready for the learning today…

 

Weekly Spellings

Every week I will post 10 spellings for you to learn. I have also uploaded on your Purple Mask 2do list, a quiz to help you to learn them. On Friday, I would like you to ask a parent to test you and then let me know your score as part of the discussion thread.

(See discussion thread on your pupil blogs)

 

Weekly Writing Task

Also, on your Purple Mash 2do list is a Volcano writing task. I would like you to complete this by Friday and save it on Purple Mash or if you prefer, you can complete it on paper and upload it onto our blog.

 

Our Weekly Recommendation

Every week we will share with you one of our favourite recommendations to support you at home.

This week is about daily fitness alongside our spellings. We have set you 10 spellings this week to practise. As you practise, why don’t you give this fitness key a try. For every letter from the word, there is an action to do.

Here is today’s learning:

LBQ – Code  kof  (all lowercase)

There are 3 tasks, please complete all 3 tasks. If you get stuck, read the information given. Also, going on to IXL to practise similar questions may also help.

We know that the questions can get very tricky towards the end. Give them all a go. If you really struggle, especially with the maths, you can stop at question 20. With the English tasks, I would like you to finish.

 

Afternoon task

This term we are learning about volcanoes. This week, I would like you to research Volcanoes. Pretend that I don’t know anything about a volcano and you are a TOUR GUIDE. What do I need to know? What makes a volcano so remarkably interesting? Where are volcanoes located? You could write this out on paper or type it up, then upload each by photo or save to your pupil blogs. Remember, you have all week, but this must be ‘handed In’ by Friday. Good luck, this is a cracking topic!

                               

Other ideas:

IXL – Visit this site every week to practise some of the learning in the Year 3 Maths and English sections (passwords are your child’s full name in lowercase letters followed by 460 (mrpryle460). Password is qwerty).

Read Theory – Complete a reading comprehension every day if you can as part of your reading challenge

Times Tables Rock Stars – visit this at least 3 times a week to practise your times tables.

Purple mash is great for research...

Have a lovely day, stay safe!
