Next, have a go at answering these questions.

Questions about the story

Try some of the following writing activities:

Possible start to task

Write a sequel to the book. What happens to Jim and the monsters the following night?

Possible start to task 2

Monster Story Planning Sheet

You might also enjoy creating your own illustrations or models of monsters. Watch this video of Chris Riddell drawing Mr Underbed for some inspiration.

Additional ideas!

Write a conversation between Jim and Mr Underbed. This would be a good opportunity to practise using inverted commas (speech marks) Year 3.      Year 2 could draw speech bubbles.

Paint a picture of the place where Mr Underbed came from.

Think of some words to describe the setting of Jim’s bedroom.

Write a description of Mr Underbed or another monster.

Thank you to everyone for your e-mails, photos and video messages. It is lovely to hear from you as I am missing the children so much. If I am slow to respond, it will probably be because I am in school with the children who are still coming in. I will always endeavour to get back to you as promptly as possible but please forgive me if this sometimes takes a while.

Here are some measuring activities for this week.

T-T-2547306-Measure-a-Line-Activity-Sheet_ver_2

Try combining your maths and science skills by investigating one or more of these questions. You will need the cooperation of your household so choose your moment carefully!

Are adults’ heads bigger than children’s heads?

Is the tallest person the oldest?

Do people with the biggest hands have the biggest feet?

Do people with the longest legs jump the farthest?

Do people with the longest arms throw the farthest?

Week Beg: 27.4.20

Here are some ideas for your English and Maths this week. Please feel free to use, adapt or dip in and out of as best suits your family.

Please use this link for our English this week.

We will be looking at two poems by Allan Ahlberg. I have included copies of the poems for you to print out if you wish. I have also made worksheets for the comprehension questions and for you to have a go at writing some of your own excuses.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zb2k8xs

Please Mrs Butler

Questions about Please Mrs Butler

Can you perform the poem to your family? Can you video it to share with other family members? Can you learn the poem off by heart?

Try to have a go at writing your own verses for the poem too.

I would love to see them!

Excuses poem

Excuses

For Maths, we will be following White Rose Home Learning for Summer Week 2 (Week commencing 27th April)

I would suggest that Year 3 try the lessons for Monday and Tuesday. We had only just started to look at adding fractions before the lockdown so please don’t worry if you find this tricky. You will do more work on this throughout your time in KS2. For the remainder of the week, try to practise estimating and measuring length. I will post some more ideas for this on Tuesday.

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

The maths this week includes some work on measuring so you might all like to try estimating and measuring the length of some objects in your homes and gardens. Try using a ruler and a tape measure if possible.
