L.O. Can I use similies? What is a simile? A simile is a way of describing something by comparing it to something else using 'like' or 'as'. example: Her eyes are like stars and her lips are like roses. The car was as fast as a cheetah. Your turn! can you finish these similes: Greece was hot like... The book was as exciting as... The night was as black as... The fireworks were colourful like... The doll's face was as smooth as... Why do we use similes? When you are describing something, you are trying to create a picture in the reader's mind. Similes can help you do this. They are most often used in stories and poems. The dog was big and fierce. Now if we add adjectives and similes... The black, scruffy dog was as big as a wolf and fierce like a very angry bear. The house was beautiful. Now if we add adjectives and similes... The ancient house was beautiful like an old fashioned painting. Activity How could we describe the Stone Age Boy using adjectives and similes? Try to think of at least three adjectives and at least three similes to describe him. Examples: Stone Age Boy has glasses as round as the moon. When Stone Age Boy woke up in the dark, gloomy cave he was as brave as a lion and curious like a cat. Now it's your turn!

GROUP 2 and 3 L.O. I can use the story pictures to create colourful semantics sentences of 'Who', 'What Doing', 'What' and 'where'. Using these pictures, can you create sentences of : 'Who', 'What Doing', 'What' and 'Where'. This week, we are going to be looking at a new text. The text is 'Bills New Frock' by Anne Fine. Today, we will be completing the prediction and clarifying parts of our reciprocal reading. Prediction 1. Look at the front cover and use your inference skills to complete the sentence stem below: 'I predict the text is about... The reason I think this is because...' Clarifying 2. Once you have completed your prediction, read the extract from the text attached below. Once you have read this, go back through the text and write down any words you are unsure of. You can then use the link to the online dictionary below to help you clarify the meanings. Type the word in and it will give you a definition. Once you know the meaning of the words, re-read the extract so you understand the words in context. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ This week's spellings are below.
1. early 2. earth 3. eight 4. eighth 5. enough 6. exercise 7. experience 8. experiment 9. extreme 10. famous Look at the word. Say the word. Cover the word. Write the word. Check the word. If you don't know the meaning of any of the words, either ask a grown up or use the online dictionary to check. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ Well done to all the children who have actively participated in our Home Learning this week! It has been great for us to see all of your wonderful work! Just a reminder of the homework that Y3 can access each week.
There is work set on My Maths, Spag.com and TT Rockstars. The children have been given their passwords for all of these. The list of spellings will also be posted each week for the children to learn ready for a test the following week. We will be testing the children on all 20 words that they have had over the past two weeks when they return to school next week. Happy learning! Let's get creative! Have you noticed leaves have changed colour? What colour are they? That's because we are now in the season of Autumn! I want you to watch this video and join in drawing the different types of leaves and colour them in Autumn colours (red, yellow, orange) . Rock Families L.O. Can I explore different types of rock families and carry out simple, practical activities? There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Watch the video here: www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9bbkqt/articles/zsgkdmn Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools on the Earth's surface. Watch the video below that shows the rock cycle. You are learning HOW igneous rock is formed NOT how to melt chocolate. We were going to make sedimentary sandwiches and igneous rocks in class but due to us self-isolating we are unable to do this! The instructions are attached below and it would be great if you and a grown up can have a go at each one so you can see how rocks are formed. If you can do the experiments then please take pictures and send them to us!
ROCK SONG! Watch the rock song. Write a definition of all 3 types of rocks. Finally, either write down how each rock is formed or explain it to a grown up at home.
Have fun! Last Friday, the Science lesson in 3C was interrupted and we didn't get to complete our activities. We are going to start this week's lesson by finishing off that lesson. You will need to ask a grown up at home if they can help you get some of the resources you need. Rocks for dinner L.O. Can I collect and record data from observations and tests? Task 1 What kind of things are used to make a meal? For example, pots and pans. Make a list using the sheet attached. Which of these items do you think come from rocks? Fill in the second part of your sheet. If you're not sure, simply put 'not sure' next to the item. What about plastic? Plastic comes from oil. Oil is formed between layers of rocks from dead plants and animals. So, what do you think? We also eat rocks! Or rather, the minerals that rocks are made of. Task 2 Have a look at the food labels on some of the food you have at home (e.g. breakfast cereal, flour, bread, toothpaste, tinned and packet foods, bottled water and fizzy drinks). Your task is to decide which foods/ drinks contain minerals/ rocks. Use the internet to help you if you're not sure! Task 3 - Consolidation Lots of paper and cardboard is used in packaging. Most paper contains some clay - the glossier the paper, the more clay it contains! Cereal packets also contain clay to give them weight and make them easy to print on. If you can, weigh a magazine. Then, fold a newspaper so it is the same size and thickness and weigh it. Why do you think there might be a difference?
