YEAR 3 HOME LEARNINGW/C 22.6.20

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.

FOUNDATION Black Lives Matter.'This week's topic focus is aimed at helping children to understand the meaning and significance of the global 'Black Lives Matter' movement, which they are hearing so much about in the news at the moment. As a school with a policy and ethos of zero tolerance of racism or discrimination of any sort, we believe this is a very important opportunity to have conversations with children which will help shape their understanding and empathy. The tasks / powerpoints are part of our PSHE curriculum and cover some of the follow-ing learning objectives:

To learn:

about personal identity; what contributes to who we are (e.g. ethnicity, family, gender, faith, culture, hobbies, likes/dislikes

about discrimination: what it means and how to challenge about respecting the differences and similarities between people and recognising what they have in common with

others e.g. physically, in personality or background about the different groups that make up their community; what living in a community means

about diversity: what it means; the benefits of living in a diverse community; about valuing diversity within com-munities

about stereotypes; how they can negatively influence behaviours and attitudes towards others; strategies for chal-lenging stereotypes

about prejudice; how to recognise behaviours/actions which discriminate against others; ways of responding to it if

witnessed or experienced

Powerpoint presentations and a suggested reading list is also provided on the website to help guide your discussions at home.

You can also continue to complete the history, geography and science tasks that were initially set as many people haven’t sent us any completed work.

OTHER

Over the course of the week we may send other optional tasks which we think you and your family might enjoy. These are entirely optional and do not need to be completed.

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 5 and 6 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. Which word tells you that the Dovetails’ new cottage isn’t vey nice?I (Inference) 2. Why does Mrs Beamish think that King Fred is a ‘kind, generous and considerate’ man?P (Prediction) 3. Read right to the end of chapter 6, do you think that Daisy and Bert will continue to be friends after this?E (Explain) 4. In chapter 6, why do you think that Daisy hopes that the King will not come on to the balcony to wave at the children?R (Retrieve) 5. What do the children do when King Fred comes on to the balcony to wave at the children?S (Summarise) 6. Why do you think Daisy smacked Bert, even though he is her best friend?

Have a go at an illustration for one of these chapters- maybe a picture of the courtyard behind the palace or an illustration of King Fred waving at the children.

This week’s writing: ‘The Ickabog’

Your writing task is to write a letter. This is a type of recount so you will need to include description of events that have happened and write in first person (using words such as ‘I’ ‘Me’ ‘My’ ‘We’ ‘You’.)

You should imagine that you are Daisy. You are writing to Fred after the fight in the courtyard. In your letter you will apologise for hitting him and explain why you were so upset. Use clues in the text to help you to explain to Fred why you were so angry when he called you silly. You can also include events such as being moved to a new house and having to visit the grave as a way to explain to Fred why you were upset enough to say that you didn’t want King Fred to come and wave. It is up to you if you ask Fred if he will still be your friend, depending on what you have predicted might happen next.

These are the objectives you will be working on:

Write a recount in a different form, such as a letter. Express time, place and cause using conjunctions Maintain writing in the first person. 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 MoonRobert Louis Stephenson

The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;She shines on thieves on the garden wall,On streets and fields and harbour quays,

And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.

The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,The howling dog by the door of the house,

The bat that lies in bed at noon,All love to be out by the light of the moon.

But all of the things that belong to the dayCuddle to sleep to be out of her way;

And flowers and children close their eyesTill up in the morning the sun shall arise.
