English – Friday 1^st May 2020

Well done for making it to Friday!

First of all, spelling test time. Take your time to have a practice (like we would at school) and then ask a parent or guardian to test you. You could then work together to check through them. 

Your second task for today is to use your new spellings to create sentences. Can you identify the spelling pattern (Spellzoo Spellings)?  Use a dictionary (online is fine) to make sure you know what each word means. Then, place each word into a sentence, taking time to focus on spelling and the punctuation throughout the sentence.

Maths - Friday 1st May 2020

It's the 'Friday Family Maths Challenge' again, that I know you have all been looking forward to!  Questions 1,2,3 and 4 are probably the most suitable for year 3, but do not worry too much about it,  have a go at as many as you wish. Why not have a go at a few and ask your parents if you can share the answers with your year 3 friends online? Just make sure that you check with your parents first that they are happy for you to do that.

English – Wednesday 29^th April 2020

Today we will be looking at adverbs and how they are used to add more detail to verbs.

An adverb is simply a word that describes a verb (an action or a doing word) E.g. He ate his breakfast quickly.

The word 'quickly' is an adverb as it tells us how he ate (the verb) his breakfast.

Where to place adverbs?

Adverbs can come before or after a verb.

• He 'quickly' ate his lunch.

• He ate his lunch 'quickly'.

To start, watch the following video on the link below.

Then go on to complete the worksheet attached in the pdf below.

For question 1 you will need to identify the adverbs in the sentences. 

For question 2 you will need to find the most appropriate adverb to fill in the gaps.

Parents, the answers are at the bottom of the second page marked by the 2 and 3 stars.

English – Tuesday 28^th April 2020

Today we will be revising what a verb is so that we can then identify them in a sentence.

A verb is a word used to describe an action, state or occurrence.

Verbs can be used to describe an action (doing something).

For example, the word ‘jumping’ in this sentence:

The rabbit was jumping in the field.

They can also be used to describe a state (being or feeling something).

For example, the word ‘likes’ here:

The monster likes roller coasters.  

Or a verb can be used to describe an occurrence (something happening).

For example, the word ‘became’ in this sentence:

The caterpillar became a butterfly.

When writing, make sure every sentence includes a verb.

To start watch the following video on the link below.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/zpxhdxs

Then, open the pdf below and identify the verbs in the sentences in section 1. After rewrite each sentence using a different verb in section 2.
