Home Learning Work
Wednesday 16th March 2022
We are off on our trip today. However, as home learning is one day 'behind', I'll put today's tasks on for you.
English: WALT: write speech within part of a story.
Today you need to turn your planning from yesterday into an extended piece of writing with a combination of speech and storytelling. Remember, do not rely on speech alone. You need some storytelling sentences in between to keep your story moving on.
I'm not expecting a whole story - we just focused on a clip of the film about a minute long.
Scroll down to yesterday to see the example.
WALT: use column subtraction with increasing confidence
We carried on with this yesterday, but today we focused a little more on 'exchanging' (previously known as carrying or borrowing).
Today you can make up your own 2 digit numbers (if you're Y2) or 3 digit numbers (if you're Y3). You can use a dice or some bits of paper with 1-9 written on them, drawn from a hat.
When you have your two numbers, you must make sure you write the biggest one first, as we cannot take away a big number from a small number.
Write it into a column subtraction method and complete the calculation. You may find that you need to exchange some tens for ones, or some hundreds for tens.
If you are already confident and have used this method for some time (eg purple group), here is a missing number sheet to make you really think! They're not always as easy as they seem.

RE WALT: know that Jews follow rules and guidance set out in the Torah
Watch this video in which Charlie talks about the Torah.
We then discussed what rules we live by, from within our families up to rules in our country. How do these rules help? What would happen if we didn't have rules? Children shared rules of their homes such as 'Shut the door to keep the dog out of the lounge' and we talked about the recent national Covid rules too.
We then picked three rules that are in our own lives at different 'levels' (eg at home, at school, nationally) and drew them, explaining each rule on the lines underneath.

Reading Hour: You know what to do! Read, read, read! Fiction and non-fiction.
Tuesday 15th March 2022
Good morning again!
English - WALT: plan to use speech within a story
This is difficult for you to do at home as we are using a clip from the film of Stig of the Dump, which I can't give you access to. However, you can simple write a story clip of your own. Perhaps you have a favourite film clip in your mind. It only needs to be a few lines of speech, not a long section.
Today, you need to plan your story. The key thing is to balance the speech with some story-telling in between, otherwise your writing will contain too much speech and become boring!
I've attached a planning sheet for you to use. The rectangles are for the story-telling part, and the speech bubbles are the spoken parts! This is only a plan today, so there's no need to use full sentences - just ideas for today.
Here's an example of what you're aiming for tomorrow, but today is just planning!:
Barney walked carefully into the cave, picking his way through the piles of old tin cans and rusty bikes. In the cave entrance, he stared into the gloom, searching for his friend.
"Stig?" he said. When no reply came, he shouted loudly, "STIG!"
He continued to walk into the darkness. Suddenly, he noticed something glistening. It was a necklace! What was Stig doing with a necklace? Barney suddenly realised that it was his Grandma's! Stig appeared.
"Stig! Nice to see you but what are you doing with all these jewels?" asked Barney.
Of course, Stig did not reply but just grunted at Barney.
Good morning again!

Maths: WALT: use column subtraction
This will be revision for most of you! Here is a video to help you remember the method.
Practise using the sheets below. Try to work on a separate piece of paper as you can, as learning to lay it out clearly is important. We'll work more on 'carrying' tomorrow. so don't worry if this part seems confusing to you today.
If you are already confident, use the purple sheet!

English: Revise speech punctuation and layout.
We've been looking at writing speech and remembering all the important bits of punctuation that it needs - not just speech marks!
Have a look at this page for a video and some activities.
Can you look in your reading book and study the speech? Look out for:
Now, can you write a conversation between two characters, using the correct punctuation and layout? Here's an example:
"Morning Mum, can I have some breakfast please?" asked Bob.
"Of course. What would you like?" replied Mum.
"I think I'll have toast with jam today, please," said Bob.
His mum put some bread into the toaster and said, "It won't be long. Wash you hands so that you are ready."
You can choose whatever topic you like for your conversation!
Use the checklist above to help you include everything.
If you'd like to, send me your conversation to [email protected]
MATHS: WALT: revise the column addition method
We have been revisiting this useful method, which I'm sure you will remember.
Have a look at this video to remind yourself! Can you remember what to do if the column adds up to more than 9? Write the tens under the line on the column on the left!
Make yourself some questions. Write 1-9 on small pieces of paper. Put them in a pot. Draw them out one at a time to make 2 3digit numbers. Write them into a column addition calculation and complete it. You can check your answer using a calculator. Spend a good bit of time practising this method as the more you practise, the more confident and speedy you will become!
Computing
Last week we started this activity using Scratch, a coding progamme.
Use this link , and work your way through each step. Part of this will be revision from last week, but then the last steps (where you add movements and Text to Voice) will be new. Have fun!
Y3 FIRE SAFETY TALK
You missed a visit from the Fire Service on Friday, when they came in to talk to Year 3 about Fire Safety in the home. This happens every year for Year 3s.
We discussed:
ASK AN ADULT to talk these things through with you. I have a sheet which the Y3s took home which I will try to attach later on, so discuss it today and you can try the sheet tomorrow.
ENJOY THE SUNSHINE FOLKS! ITS BEAUTIFUL!
We've been looking at writing speech and remembering all the important bits of punctuation that it needs - not just speech marks!
Have a look at this page for a video and some activities.
Can you look in your reading book and study the speech? Look out for:
- The use of speech marks around the spoken words ONLY
- The use of 'tags' (the said xxx part which can either come before or after the speech, or sometimes in the middle, in which case we call it 'split speech').
- Alternative words for 'said' used in tags.
- The use of commas, exclamation marks or question marks (but NEVER full stops) between the speech and the tag, when the tag comes last.
- The use of a full stop (or EM/QM) at the end of every sentence, whether it ends with speech or a tag.
- The New Speaker, New Line rule.
Now, can you write a conversation between two characters, using the correct punctuation and layout? Here's an example:
"Morning Mum, can I have some breakfast please?" asked Bob.
"Of course. What would you like?" replied Mum.

You missed a visit from the Fire Service on Friday, when they came in to talk to Year 3 about Fire Safety in the home. This happens every year for Year 3s.
We discussed:
- The role of the Fire Service
- Signs of a Fire
- How to escape from your house safely (Do you have planned routes and alternative options?) and what to do if you cannot escape.
- How to make a 999 call.
- The Stop, Drop and Roll technique.
ASK AN ADULT to talk these things through with you. I have a sheet which the Y3s took home which I will try to attach later on, so discuss it today and you can try the sheet tomorrow.

PREVIOUS HOME LEARNING:
English: use unusual adverbs as SENTENCE OPENERS
Using the same list as adverbs as we used yesterday, can you use them as sentence openers, with a comma?
Here are some examples:
Gently, Sophie combed the mammoth's hair.
Immediately, Sophie ran to get a trampoline for the mammoth to land on.
Maths:
Same as yesterday - working on times tables. We went on TT Rockstars. We also reminded ourselves how to draw ARRAYS to represent both multiplication and division facts. Have a go at practising this yourself. If you've forgotten what an array is, have a look at this page to remind yourself. Remember that the number of dots in the ROW is important. For example, if you want to work out 32 divided by 8, make sure you draw 8 dots in each row, then its easy to split it into 8 groups.
Topic: WALT: explore Stonehenge and understand why it is mysterious
We went on a virtual trip to Stonehenge! Using this interactive tool, we toured the famous stone circle and watched some of the information videos. We really enjoyed it!
Can you come up with a list of questions about Stonehenge? They might be questions that'll we'll find the answers to over the next few weeks, but they might remain mysterious, as they have done to historians for all these years!
Here is the link to the tour. Enjoy your visit!!

Week Beginning 31.1.2022
English: Based on the story 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth'.
If you missed Monday's lesson, or you need a quick reminder, see this video of the story being read.
WALT: use unusual adverbs.
Can you use adverbs from the list below to write sentences about washing a woolly mammoth? They don't have to be exactly what happened in the story; use your imagination! You'll need to think carefully about what each adverb means in order to use them correctly - discuss them with an adult if you can, or look them up in a dictionary.
Examples:
Sophie gently combed the mammoths hair to get out all the tangles.
Sophie busily scrubbed and scrubbed at the mud on the mammoth's back.
Here is the list to choose from:
annually, cleverly, calmly, busily, cautiously, coaxingly, diligently, generously, gently, hastily, immediately, lightly, neatly, patiently, regularly, safely, stealthily, zealously

Week Beginning 25.2.2022
English: WALT: Use CL and FS in sentences reliably.
Find 6 items around your house. Write a sentence about each one! Be as imaginative as you like.
For example, if I chose an egg, I could write any of these:
The egg rolled onto the floor and smashed.
I really want an egg for my breakfast.
An egg has a smooth, brown shell.
Phonics: Revise the 'igh' sound. Make lists of words that have the 'igh' sound but made with different letters. These words can be your headings:
fight bite kind fly lie
Which list is the longest?
Maths: WALT: know the names of 2D and 3D shapes
Have a go on this interactive game to recall knowledge of 2D shapes.
Topmarks Sorting
Now work through this BBC lesson on 3D shapes.
