Home learning Monday 8th June

Posted: Jun 7, 2020 by: Elaine Matthews (EMatthews) on: Class 3

Good morning all!

I can't believe it's Monday again! Where does the time go?

Thank you once again for all your lovely photos and hard work last week. I realize many of you are beginning to find working from home very tricky; please keep going though, it will be of great benefit when you do return to school. Please send me a quick message once a week or some photos to let me know how you are doing too.

Here are a few of the latest pictures I have. Keep them coming!!

Mia's brilliant board game review!

Alfie having break from his work to help Dad at his!! Great job Alfie and a lovely smile too!!

Finally, here's Austin posting his letter to his Auntie in Scotland.

Here's today's activities.......

P.E. It's entirely up to you whether you join Joe Wicks, try some yoga or create your own circuit training course around the house!! Can you think of an exercise to do in every room and decide how many repetitions of that exercise everyone has to do (either 5, 10 or 15 perhaps)? Everyone in the family could have a go and you could time how long the course takes them!! Who does it the quickest?

Literacy; (grammar)

Today have a look at the Schofield and Sims activity on page 34; 'Paragraphs: non-fiction'. Look at the instructions and guidance with an adult and then have a go. Non-fiction paragraphs often use sub-headings so the activity is allowing you to practise this. This will help you for an activity later in the week.

Take your time, keep your writing joined and as neat as you can! Don't forget your fabulous punctuation too!

Reading:

Today I'd really like you to revisit the text you were looking at on Purple Mash. Most of you were reading 'Sleeping Volcanoes' in the Emeralds collection; please can you read chapter 3 and the multiple choice questions to follow. I've created a 2Do for you.

https://www.purplemash.com/#tab/pm-home/serialmash

If you chose a different text, please read the next chapter.

**If 'Sleeping Volcanoes' has proved too difficult for your child there are easier texts in 'Fire Bolts'; I have created a 2Do on Purple Mash for the 'Red 5-A-Side' text book 1, chapter 1 OR  your child may prefer the 'White Star Chronicle' book 1, chapter 1 (again I have created a 2Do if your child prefers this one). There are no questions for these texts so please do ask your child lots of questions afterwards; testing their comprehension!!

Choose just one of the texts above.

Maths:

8 questions;

1. 345 – 30

2. 40 more than 352

3. Subtract 127 from 683

4. Take 50 from 398

5. 567 x 10

6. 673 divided by 10

7. 84 x 4

8. 328 divided by 4

Rather than a problem today, please can you have a go at Times Tables Rockstars; keep practising as it does get easier!

Activity;

L.O. To understand instructions involving turns and directions. To also understand a quarter turn is a right angle.

Main;

Take a large piece of paper or card and using a ruler and felt pen draw a large cross on the paper, creating 4 quarters. Can you label each angle as a right angle. Now use a different coloured felt pen and label the end of each line with North, South, East and West. Stand a toy figure in the centre of the cross facing North.

You may want to practise making quarter turns clockwise or anti-clockwise yourself first and perhaps drawing a clockwise and anti-clockwise arrow will help too!

Now follow these instructions and tell me which way the toy is facing after each instruction....

1. Make 2 quarter turns clockwise.......
2. Make 1 quarter turn clockwise...
3. Make 3 quarter turns clockwise....
4. Make 1 quarter turn anti-clockwise....
5. Make 3 quarter turns anti-clockwise....
6. Make 2 quarter turns anti-clockwise...
7. Make 4 quarter turns clockwise....
8. How many right angles in 3 turns?
9. What does 2 quarter turns make? Try it with your toy (ie a full turn, a half turn or a quarter turn?)
10. What does 4 quarter turns make? Try it with your toy.

Have fun practising yourself! Ask Mum or Dad to give you instructions.

Well that's all folks!!

Enjoy the day and cross your fingers for sun later in the week.

Please email me to let me know how you are getting on and please do encourage your child to try the activities or let me know if you're struggling as I'm here to help.

Thanks so very much, 

Mrs Matthews
