A message from Miss Whittaker for Class 3Wh...
Last half term we were learning about Egypt and as part of a writing project on explanations, we experimented with mummifying tomatoes. The children loved cleaning and preparing them and were so excited to see what would happen but unfortunately we went into lockdown before we were able to look!
So this week I took them out, look at the photos to see what happened. The tomatoes were completely dried out but still had their bright red colour and hadn’t gone rotten. Ask them about the steps of mummification or maybe have a go at home using these instructions.
Week beginning 22.06.20
Hello Year 3. We hope you are all still keeping safe and enjoying your time at home.

Today I would like you to read the opening extract from ‘Mr Majeika’ really carefully. When you’re reading, I want you to think about what makes the opening interesting for the reader and what makes us want to read on? When you have read the story opening, I would like you to turn it into a comic strip deciding which part of the opening would go in each box. Adding some speech bubbles too!
Tuesday - 12.05.20
Writing Activity - Today we are going to be looking at setting the scene (where the story takes place).

Writing:
We have been working really hard to improve our sentence openers in Year 3. (It can be very boring if every sentence starts with 'The') Last time we wrote reports we used GENERALISERS to start our sentences. Practice writing some sentences about your theme using the generalisers from the wheel below. For example:
All cats have four legs and 2 ears.
Generally cats like to sleep a lot.
Thursday 02.04.20

Now have a go at writing your non-chronological report by turning your notes from your plan into sentences and check they make sense. Remember to use generalisers, adjectives and adverbs to make your writing exciting. When you have finished the writing add your own diagrams and pictures to match each paragraph. Don’t forget to check you have used the features off your checklist!
Writing:
Once you’ve finished and checked your writing – It is time to edit and improve with a different colour. Here are some things to look for when editing:
- Have you included everything off your checklist?
- Does each sentences make sense and is it correctly punctuated?
- Have you started sentences with generalisers where possible?
- Have you checked your spellings?
- Are your letters formed correctly and joined neatly?
- Have you up-levelled word choices?

Why do we need food? Write down your ideas and then look at slide 4 of the Nutrition power point.
How do plants get food? How do animals get food? Write down your ideas and then look at slides 5 and 6 of the power point. What would happen if animals tried to get their food the same as plants?
- Write a sentence explaining the difference between how animals get their food and plants.
- Look at the rest of the presentation.
TASK: Can you match food groups with their names?
For next week, keep a diary of all the food and drinks you have each day.
Monday 23rd March Writing
Look and read the power-point on Kennings. What key features are used to create a kenning? On the example of the Kenning highlight the determiners, nouns, adjectives and verbs.
Create a checklist of what a good kenning poem looks like. This will help you when you are writing your own!
Tuesday 24th March Writing
Look over and read again the power-point on Kennings. What can you remember about what a good one looks like?
Look at the 5 examples of kenning poems. Kenning poems are a way of describing something using clues rather than saying what it is. See if you can match each poem to what it is describing.
Wednesday 25th March Writing
Look over and read again the power-point on Kennings. Today we are going to think about our SPaG skills. Look at the list of nouns and adjectives below. When we add a suffix to a word, there are different rules to follow. Look carefully and see if you can add the suffix –er to all the words.
CHALLENGE!
Can you use those words in a sentence about yourself?
Thursday 26th March Writing
Before we write our own poem it’s a good idea to plan and gather ideas. Kenning poems give clues about something without saying what it it. Think of something you would like to write a poem about – it might be an animal, someone in your family, your friend, your teacher or something you find outside. Then make notes about all the things it does (verbs) and what is looks like (adjectives) to help you.
Here is an example:
