Read one of your favourite books to somebody at home. Then choose one of the following ideas.

• Draw an alternate front cover for your book. • Think of a different title for the story. Why have

you chosen this title? • If you could change one thing about one of the

characters, what would you change and why. • Draw a picture of your favourite part of the

book. • Write a short summary explaining what the

book is about. • If you could ask the author anything about the

story, what would you ask?

This week, we will focus on problems using addition and subtraction. Before you start, try and answer these questions:

1. When you add ones to a number, does it sometimes, always or never affect the tens column?

Sometimes - When you add a one that will make it cross the tens barrier. 1+1=2 9+1 =10 19+7=26

2. What is the largest digit you can have in each of

the ones, tens and hundreds column? Explain why. 9 - because if you add one more one it becomes a 10. Or if you add one more 10 it becomes 100.

Have a listen to the whole piece at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArDD-0bPXnw What do you imagine as you listen to this piece? How does it

9+1=10 90+10=100

2 +7 because it = 9 The other two = 8

Jack’s method because he has already exchanged the 10 for ones so it is easier to calculate.

make you feel? If this represented some kind of creature, what would it look like? Where does your creature live? Does he/she have special features/powers? It might help at this point to draw your creature and think about the noises they make. Your task is to make a story to go with your mythical creature. What is the problem in your story? You might want to watch the ‘Then’ part from the BBC Ten Pieces webpage. We would LOVE to see some of your creatures! Send them to: newsletter@clevelandroadpri.uk

Last week you thought about the plot and moved your story along with a dialogue between two characters. You focused on the problem part of your story map. This week you are going to look at the events part of your story map. Here is a song to help you remember the different parts that make up a story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSyrFfz55xo The Hole in the Fence.

Here is the events part for the story map for the image above.

You will be writing your story in the past tense. The past tense means that something has already happened. Here is a song to help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-y9Y9kvUxk Can you change the sentences below into the past tense? The verb you need to change is in bold.

No Because there are 4 hundreds 5 tens 6 ones And they have taken away 4 tens.

PHSE Today, the theme is Changes. In the world recently, there have been a huge changes and it is OK to feel a bit nervous or worried about them. Talking about changes that worry you can help you to feel a little better. A large amount of the time, we can worry about a change and actually when the change has been made, we realise it was OK and we feel fine. Can you think of a time when this has happened? Maybe you have moved house, or have moved up a year group, or you have had a new baby in the family. The first thing is to think about what it is that is changing. The next step is to think about what it is that worries you about that change. Now, try to think of something positive (good) about that change. Who might be making this change with you? Lastly, think about what you might need to do to make this change successful. Miss Marriott has had a go at this herself: What is the change: Working at home instead of at school. Worries about the change: Will I be able to get all my work completed in time? Will I be lonely? Will I miss my class/friends? Something positive: I will still be able to see my Year 3 colleagues online/talk to them on the phone. I can hear from my class through the newsletter. Who is making the change with me: All of the children/staff at school. What will make this change successful: Making sure I stick to a routine and have a plan for each day to make sure I have enough time to complete all my work. You might want to make your changes into a poster format, like this:

• Ms. Rashid talks to lots of people every day. • Mr. Wheldon listens to music on the train. • Mrs. Jogia and Mrs. Alloo love teaching 3AJ. • Miss Marriott makes pizza every Friday night.

Now let’s change the first event from the story map above into the past tense.

Raj heard a loud bang in the middle of the night and told his best friend Sara all about it. Now change one of your events from your story map into the past tense. If you have already written your story map in the past tense, see if you can find examples of the past tense in one of your story books at home. You can also try to learn the song!

Today we will be learning about the present perfect form of verbs. We use the present perfect tense to describe things that have happened in the past but are also relevant to the present time. Watch this video to help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1_0Gz4uRKo

The present perfect always has the verb to ‘have’ in it followed by the past tense. For example: 1) Mr Wheldon has taught in lots of different countries. 2) Miss Marriott has worn a lovely dress. 3) Mrs Jogia has baked some cakes. 4) Ms Rashid has gone out to do some gardening. 5) Mrs Alloo has gone running. Fil in the gaps choosing the correct word from the table below. 1) Jenny has _______ a film in the cinema. 2) It has _______ raining all day! 3) Ali has ________ too much chocolate. eaten seen been

They cross the tens barrier so you have to change the tens as well as the ones.

Today, you will develop your main events into a narrative. A narrative is telling the audience a story. Your narrative needs to captivate the audience and keep them excited and engaged as you tell the story.

Stories can be written from different points of view.

You will be writing your narrative in third person, in the past tense. Look at the event that you changed to the past tense on Tuesday. Today you will develop that event to make it more interesting for the reader. Write no more than 5 sentences. Here is the event that was changed to past tense for The Hole in the Fence image.

237 + 80 = 317

The others are adding an odd and an even number of tens. This question is adding two even numbers of tens.

SCIENCE :Pollination Go for a walk along your street, a local park, garden or garden centre. Take a close look at the flowering plants you can see.

Can you see the stamen, pollen and stigma if you look closely? Do you remember the function of these parts? Does the flower have a pleasant smell? Are the petals colourful? Do the petals have spots of ridges on them? Flowers use different ways to attract insects such as colour, smell and pattern. Bee are attracted to blue and purple flowers. Butterflies are attracted to red, yellow and orange flowers. Look for flowers which:

Raj heard a loud bang in the middle of the night and told his best friend Sara all about it.

To make it more interesting, we need to add more emotive language, effective adjectives, expanded noun phrases and ‘show not tell’. We also need to use punctuation for effect.

Bang! What was that? Raj was sleeping soundly, but woke up when he heard that loud noise. He felt too scared to take a look through his window. He decided to wait until the morning to investigate. When he looked through the hole in the fence, he was shocked.

Challenge

At home, write how each flower you saw attracted insects to help pollinate them. You could draw the flowers or take pictures to help you!
