Swallows 27th April 2020 - Home Learning

Date: 27th Apr 2020 @ 8:15am

Good Morning Swallows!!!

I can’t quite believe the effort from all of you once again! Above are some great examples of your home learning, just goes to show how hard you are all working! I hope you are all getting along really well, and the weekend treated you well. I have just finished my latest book, a story about Genghis Khan, have a look for him on google with your adults -what a leader! Quite a brutal chap though but managed to conquer much of the world.

Try to catch some of the nice weather while it is still here Swallows, maybe try some gardening or have a wonder into the local area for daily exercise. All this is great for local Geography!

Here are today’s tasks Swallows:

LBQ – Code: phv (all lowercase)

There are 3 tasks, please complete all 3 tasks. If you get stuck, have a look at the video below:

Or, regroup from each column like in class. Move from the ‘neighbours’ houses, next door, when subtracting:

1.   2.   3.  

Weekly Spellings

This week’s spellings are again on your ‘discussion’ tabs on your school spider log-ins. 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, just like last week.

(See discussion thread on your pupil blogs)

Weekly Writing Task

This week’s writing task will also be uploaded to your ‘discussion blogs’ year 3. I must point out that there was some fantastic effort Year 3 with this task but some children (and parents!) found it tricky to upload these to Purple Mash. Therefore, going forward, there will be a ‘discussion’ on your school spider log-ins. Please upload this as you did with spellings to save any confusion with different programmes.

This week’s task is as follows:

LO: To write a setting description of a beach.

This week, I would you to write about a beach. Seeing as we have had such good weather recently, and we are not able to head to the sand, this is a perfect opportunity to use your imagination to get yourselves there! This could be a beach you have visited on holiday, or a beach that you would like to go to. This could be the most glorious place in the world, or the most frightening experience as a storm approach… Have a look at the picture above!

Try to include the following as a success criteria:

Success Criteria:
Did you include?	Teacher assessment:
Capital letters and full stops.
Presentation – kicks and flicks within handwriting.
Noun phrases - 2 or more describing words as adjectives, e.g. the huge, green leaves of the palm trees.
Similes – use the words ‘like’ to describe, eg. It was like the earth shattering!
Use of your senses – what can you see, hear, smell, feel or taste (in the breeze)?

 

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...

Final Thought:

Many thanks to parents for your continued support as always. It was lovely to speak to so many happy and enthusiastic people last week on my phone call’s round. It makes the job very much worthwhile!

Ciao all, take care today!
