Message from Mrs Colin-Stokes

Mrs Colin-Stokes has asked me to post a message for you all in Red Class.

” I am missing you all, but I hope you are having fun with your families and enjoying the sunshine as well as trying to do your home learning.” Mrs C-S

I hope you have enjoyed using the year 3 and year 4 White Rose maths materials and the Literacy Shed video as a stimulus for your writing. Don’t forget to keep practising those times tables. More Maths and English will be posted ready for next week.

Enjoy your weekend!

Mrs B

Good Morning Red class,

I have been sent these great pictures. What an amazing Viking Long Ship!

Garden Challenge

Good morning!

It’s another sunny day, so I thought I’d suggest an activity you can do outside.

How about collecting together some recycling and creating a castle, Viking ship or long house?

I think you have enough maths sheets and videos uploaded for this week, but don’t forget to keep practising your times tables using TT rock stars.

Writing

Good Morning!

I hope you are enjoying your home learning!

When you’ve watched the Meerkat video on the Literacy shed link I posted yesterday, there is writing to do. I have listed below some of the things we have been trying to include in our writing:

  • past tense
  • fronted adverbials (with commas)
  • adjectives
  • expanded noun phrases
  • powerful verbs
  • paragraphs
  • dialogue (speech)
  • propositions
  • conjunctions (I SAW A WABUB)

I look  to receiving some of your wonderful stories. Please don’t feel you have to send them, but a few would be lovely. I could share the best on here…

English writing home learning

I hope you are taking advantage of the sunshine in your gardens.
The link below will take you to the Literacy Shed and a video called “Catch It”.
https://www.literacyshed.com/catchit.html
A group of meerkats lovingly tend to a beloved and unique fruit in the middle of the savannah.
One day, their peaceful existence is disrupted by a vulture intent on stealing their pride and joy.
Will the meerkats be able to get it back?

Writing ideas (please don’t feel you have to do all of these).

  • Write the story from a meerkat’s point of view.
  • Write the story from the vulture’s point of view.
  • Describe the beautiful setting of the African plains.
  • Create some dialogue between the meerkats at various points in the film.
  • Create some commentary for the ‘rugby’ scene at the end of the film – use iMovie to record this commentary over the top of the original film.

Home Learning

Hello Red Class

I hope you are all keeping well and active.

Yesterday, I posted spelling and some English activities to start you off on your home learning.

For maths this week please use the resources which I attach to revise and make secure what we have learnt about fractions so far. Lots of links I will be posting are activities to complete online, others may be better if printed but could be completed by writing in the green books which you took home whilst looking at the screen.

The White Rose links have videos to support learning and follow the mastery approach which we use in school. Where possible there will be also be links to videos on Espresso to support your learning.

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/      This is useful for year 4 and well as Year 3 to secure understanding.

Joe Wicks will be doing an online PE activities each day which could be a fun way to start or break up your day.

“Starting Monday 23rd March I’m going to be hosting a free workout aimed at kids LIVE on my YouTube channel.

With the schools closed and with us all spending more time at home, it’s more important than ever that we keep moving and stay healthy and positive.

Exercise is an amazing tool to help us feel happier, more energised, and more optimistic.

The workouts will be fun and suitable for all ages and even adults can get involved.

You don’t need any equipment, just tune in to my YouTube channel at 9am each morning for a 30-minute, fun workout. ” https://www.thebodycoach.com/blog/pe-with-joe-1254.html

Spellings and home learning

Spellings for W/C 23rd March

We are focusing on some of the statutory words for year 3 and 4 this week. I have listed the words below:

accident

actual

address

answer

appear

through

various

weight

woman

women

 

The children know lots of ways to practise their spellings including sentences, handwriting, pyramid words and “words without vowels”.

The green book which was sent home contains a list of these printed in our joined kinetic letters font. I have also attached some activity sheets which will help practise grammar, sentence writing and vocabulary skills.

Year 3 and 4 Statutory Spelling Words Activity Mat Pack 1Year 3 and 4 Statutory Spelling Words Activity Mat Pack 21

I would suggest going handwriting practise each day, using 2 activity sheets each day and also picking one of the different ways to learn spellings each day.
