Friday 13th November 2020 - Work for Children in Self-Isolation

Good morning!  

It's Friday and you have nearly completed a whole week of Home Learning!  Give yourself a pat on the back!

Here are your challenges for today - remember to send in copies of your work by emailing the school office if you possibly can.

Literacy

It's Friday, so we will be completing our Big Writing - a letter to Mr Twit. This week, we will be focusing on:

• Using ambitious vocabulary to describe Mr Twit, including our word of the week, astonishingly
• Using a variety of openers to enhance our writing 
• Setting out a letter accurately

Find a quiet spot at home, read through my example letter in the 3V Home Learning Resources Folder, and see whether there are any ideas you could steal to help improve your own work.  Then settle down and try to complete your Big Writing.  You could listen to some gentle music as you write, just as we would in school.  When you've finished, remember to check through and edit your work if necessary.

Please also practise your spellings today.  When my own children were little, they used to like to find different ways of practising their spellings.  Why not write out your spellings in bubble writing, or using different coloured pens and pencils?

Finally, remember to spend at least 15 minutes reading your book today.  Can you summarise what you have read?  What do you think will happen next?

Maths

For maths, please see the White Rose video for today's lesson on Multiplication and complete the activities which relate to that lesson - as always, the resources are in the 3V folder.

Humanities

In Humanities, we will be continuing our studies of Volcanoes.We will be looking at and labeling a cross section of a volcano, and learning about the Pacific Ring of Fire. There is a video lesson online here to help you with your learning, and I have also put my lesson resources in the 3V folder.  If you don't have a printer at home, you might find it tricky to complete the written map work questions. Instead, use online resources to research the locations of the various volcanoes and see if you can spot where they are in the Ring of Fire.  Even without a printer, you should be able to complete a labelled cross section of a volcano by copying the diagram in your book.

That's all for this week - stay safe, and have a relaxing weekend!
