L.O: To use a range of reading skills to answer questions about a text.
S.C:
I can find and explain the meaning of words in context.
Day 1 – Vocabulary
“Just ransack this room till we find them” Suggest another word the poet could have used instead of “ransack”.
(Text below)
Poetry
L.O: To identify and use personification.
S.C: I can use personification by giving
non-living objects human traits like feelings and actions.
I can choose actions and feelings to go with elements of nature.
I can use some personification for effect. E.g. The leaves danced in the breeze.
At the end of this week, we are going to write a poem about nature. We are going to include a new writing technique called personification where you give non-living things human characteristics like feelings or actions. Example – “The lightning danced across the sky.” Lightning can’t really dance, but this tells us that the lightning was moving quickly and rhythmically.
Task– Read the three poems below. Find 2 examples of personification in each poem, then write 5 examples of personification about something in nature.
L.O: To compare the size of angles.
S.C: I know what a right angle
looks like. I know that an acute angle
is less than a right angle. I know that an obtuse
angle is greater than a right angle.
Monday's lesson resources are at the end of this document.
Top Tips - EnglishEach paragraph in a poem is called a verse. More examples of personification: “The young trees fought bravely against the blustery winds.” “The narrow wind complains all day” “The moon peeked over the clouds” - This last one means that you could just see the moon over the clouds as if it was peeking out from behind them. More examples of personification below
White Rose Maths Use the yellow right angle tester from below to help identify angles greater than or less than a right angle.

Wider Curriculum Choice Grid As well as completing a daily maths, English, spelling and reading task, we have put together a selection of different topic activities for you to complete at your leisure. We realise this is a busy time and so most of these do not require
written work but instead are discussion and interaction based. Let’s Get Physical!
(PE)
Circuit Training
Set up 5 stations with a different exercise at each. Have 1 minute
at each station and see how many of each exercise you can do in that time. Repeat this and
then challenge a member of your household to see who can do the
most of each exercise in the minute.
Exercise examples – squats, squat jumps, front support, lunges, shuttle runs, lateral
jumps, star jumps, arm circles. Be inventive!
I can design and carry out my
own circuit training set-up
Let’s Explore! (Geography)
Look at the labels from food in
your house.
Take note of where different foods come from.
Create a table of foods that come from the 7 different
continents.
Explain to a member of your household which foods are
imported and exported to and from which countries.
I can describe and understand key aspects of human geography
including trade links.
Let’s Investigate! (Science)
Find a plant that has not yet flowered or plant your own sunflower or other fast-
growing plant seed like watercress.
Draw a picture of what it looks like now and observe it over the next week or two. See how it changes in appearance and look at what things it needs to stay alive. Some plants take longer to grow than others
Find a plant that is dying. How has that plant changed in appearance?
I can observe the plant life cycle.Let’s Compute!
(Computing)
Simulations are amazing ways to test real life situations. Below is a
link to a lemonade stand simulation. You must make as much money as possible using the lemonade stand. However, whatever you do will have an
impact on your sales.
Variables = amount of lemons, ice, water, time of day.
https://www.icompute-uk.com/resources/year3/lemonade.html
Test which combination of ‘variables’ produces the most
money!I can explore the effect of
changing variables in a simulation using them to make
and test predictions.
Let’s Design! (Art and Design)
Using what you have found out
from your Geography task above, create a rough map of the world and ask an adult if you can
have the labels or packaging from food they have eaten.
Stick the packaging where that country or continent is on your
map.
I can use an atlas to help me label a map.
I can begin to understand that food is grown (such as tomatoes,
wheat and potatoes), reared (such as pigs, chickens and
cattle) and caught (such as fish) in the UK, Europe and the wider
world.
Let’s Rewind! (History)
This year is going to be an important year in history for years to come. Create your own primary source by writing a diary entry or
letter describing the effect the Corona Virus is having on the world, what has changed
and how it makes you feel.
Make sure you write how your life has changed personally over the past few weeks – schools closing, social distancing, staying
at home, not able to see your friends.
In 50 years, your source could be used as evidence for what it was like to live through schools being closed and lockdown in 2020.
I can describe the main events and people related to a period of time.
I can understand primary sources and their importance in history.
