YEAR 3 HOME LEARNINGW/C 6.7.20

It was so great to see some of your work last week, thank you for the e-mails. Keep them coming! We appreciate your efforts to help your children with home learning and we know that many of you have your own work pressures, so as previously; the message is to do what you can, when you can.We would love to be able to give a little more feedback so we would encourage you to send pictures or documents of writing and foundation subject work to claire.donoghue@schools.sunderland.gov.uk in our school office who will then be pass it on to the year group leaders for feedback.

We will be hosting another end of week catch up this week and we are hoping to enable your child’s own class teacher to be able to host the chat, however, bear with us as our IT firewall needs to be adjusted to allow teachers to make these video calls from school and this could take some time. If it is not up and running in school by the end of the week then the teachers working from home will continue to host the chats. The chat time, date and link will be sent via Marvellous Me. To able to access these virtual chats you will need a Google Account (free). Please ensure that the username is the child’s name to enable us to take a register. You simply click on the link (or copy and paste it into Google) at the correct time and wait for the teacher to let you in the meeting. Meetings will take place on Thursdays or Fridays to give people a chance to have completed work and have something ready to share. The teacher might even test a few of the spellings you’ve been learning! There will also be a midweek ‘drop in’ session for each year group to allow you to ask any questions you may have about the week’s learning before the end of week session.

This timetable shows the home learning tasks to be completed over the course of the week.Answers to the SPaG tasks will be sent along with next week’s timetable.

We will be posting reading and writing work linked to chapters of The Ickabog each week and we really hope you enjoy reading the story and completing this work.

This week’s reading: VIPERS ‘The Ickabog’

Read chapters 9 and 10 of ‘The Ickabog’. There are some VIPERS questions for you to answer below which will help you to meet these objectives:

· With some independence can skim and scan to retrieve information from a text.

· Draw inferences from reading with some reference to the text.

V (Vocabulary) 1. Read the description of the old man. Find words that make him sound as though he looks ‘untidy’.

I (Inference) 2. Why do you think people laughed at the shepherd?

P (Prediction) 3. Once you have finished the chapters, read the last line again. What do you think this line suggests about what might happen in the story?

E (Explain) 4. What do you think made the King excited about his quest to find the Ickabog?

R (Retrieve) 5. What colours were included in the king’s ‘battledress’

S (Summarise) 6. Summarise the story of the shepherd’s encounter with the Ickabog.

Have a go at an illustration for one of these chapters- use the descriptions in the text to draw either the Ickabog, the shepherd or the king in his ‘battledress’.

This week’s writing: ‘The Ickabog’

Your writing task is to ‘present a persuasive point of view in the form of a letter’.

This means that you should write a letter from the shepherd to King Fred persuading him to catch and punish the Ickabog.

You’ll need to include details from the story, such as what the Ickabog did to the shepherd’s dog and why you think King Fred should hunt it. King Fred loves to be told how brave and strong he is so you could try to flatter him (tell him he’s great) to help to persuade him.

Remember you are writing to a King so your letter will need to have a formal tone and be polite.

You could start some of your sentences like this:

King Fred, I would like you to hunt and punish the Ickabog because...

You will be the best person to hunt it because...

The Ickabog is very dangerous, it...

If you catch the Ickabog...

These are the objectives you will be working on:

· Write a simple persuasive piece

· Use co-ordinating and subordinating conjunctions (and / but /so /when/if/that/because) to expand sentences.

· Select an appropriate tone for the audience

· Use joined handwriting throughout independent writing

· Proof read for spelling and punctuation errors, making changes to improve writing

This week’s poem for handwriting:

The SeaJames Reeves

The sea is a hungry dog,Giant and grey.He rolls on the beach all day.With his clashing teeth and shaggy jawsHour upon hour he gnawsThe rumbling, tumbling stones,And 'Bones, bones, bones, bones! 'The giant sea-dog moans,Licking his greasy paws.

And when the night wind roarsAnd the moon rocks in the stormy cloud,He bounds to his feet and snuffs and sniffs,Shaking his wet sides over the cliffs,And howls and hollos long and loud.

But on quiet days in May or June,When even the grasses on the dunePlay no more their reedy tune, With his head between his pawsHe lies on the sandy shores,So quiet, so quiet, he scarcely snores.

This week’s spellings:

1. Play Ping Pong spelling: Children work with a partner to practise spelling each word aloud whereby each partner (or even a toy at home for extra fun!) takes a turn at say-ing each letter aloud until the whole word has been spelled aloud. Repeat several times for each word. Can you get faster?
