Monday 20 th April SpellingFor your task today, I would like you to practice your spellings and write a sentence for each one.

Choose a level of task based upon how much you want to challenge yourself:

Level 1: Your task is to write a sentence for each spelling in your neatest handwriting in your book/on paper.

Level 2: Write a sentence for each spelling using the conjunctions: and, but, so to extend your sentences.

Level 3: Write a sentence for each spelling using the conjunctions when, if, that or because.

EXT. Conjunctions (Check out the website for lots more games and activities)

Can you spot the conjunctions in these sentences? Underline them:1. I put on my shoes and I went out to play.2. I can’t eat my sweets until after dinner.3. I can’t go out tonight because I have to stay in and do my homework.4. It had been a long time since I had last played football.5. I was going to eat the sweets but I saved them for my sister.6. She was nice to me although she wouldn’t let me play with the lego.

Use conjunctions to make these sentences more interesting.7. I can’t go swimming. I have forgotten my swimming trunks.

8. I’d like to go to the park. My mum won’t let me.

9. The old woman wanted to feed her dog. There was nothing in the cupboard.

10. I bought some sweets. I ate them on the way home.

11. The teacher was cross. She was late.

12. I went to the pictures. I really wanted to stay at home.

13. I couldn’t go out. My dad came home.

Maths

This week, you could carry on with the White Rose Daily lessons. They are fantastic and provide great coverage. If you are looking for something different, or even something additional, follow these lessons to learn how to tell the time instead! We need to be able to know to the nearest 15 minutes. Even better if we know to the nearest 5 minutes (especially year 3s!). During this time, it would be lovely if you made your children ‘in-charge’ of time, they must tell you when something needs to come out the oven or what time a TV programme starts etc. Doing lots of practical will help them embed the learning. At school, before each maths lesson we start off with a problem to warm up our brains. Each starter will be a word problem to work out. Try this one to get you into a maths mindset! 

 Now watch the following clip:

The little hand tells us the hour it is.

The larger hand tells us the minutes.

Your 5 timetable will help you learn the time as the numbers go up in fives on the clock .Have a go at writing what time is displayed on the clock:

Starter: Hugo is having a birthday party and has 32 bouncy balls to put into the party bags. There are 8 people coming to his party. How

many bouncy balls will they get each?

O’clockHave a go at writing what time is displayed on the clock:

______________ ______________ ______________ _______________

Half Past

Have a go at writing what time is displayed on the clock:

_______________ _______________ _______________

Think you've got the hang of it? Try these challenges to check your knowledge!___________________________________________________________________________________________________

When the big hand is on the 6 – this means it is half past. For example, this shows half past 1 or 1:30 as the big hand is on the 6 and the little hand is just past the 1.
