Home Learning

English: This week for your English I would like you research and find as many time conjunctions (sometimes called time connectives) as you can and then list them in your home learning book (if you know some already then write them down and get your list off to a good start). I will award 5 house points to the person with the longest list.

Maths: For Maths this week I would like some of you to look at the picture of the city skyline in your home learning book and try to spot as many vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines as you can, as well as spotting as many pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines as you can. Then next to the drawing of that type of line, I want you to tell me how many you found in Roman numerals. Use the Roman numeral grid at the bottom to help you. If you have not got this task in your home learning book then I instead want you to visit this http://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=bingomoreorless website and have go at the different more or less games. There are a few different challenges so make sure you move on if you are finding one a bit easy.

Spellings: You also have another 5 spellings this week.

What we have done this week

The first seven pictures of this week's blog show us completing an activity where we are learning about how to structure paragraphs. All of us in Class 3 now know that most paragraphs can be split up into topic, supporting and ending sentences and in the pictured activity we had a job putting paragraphs together again that had been split up in exactly this way.

The following two pictures show some of us completing an extension activity related to our America topic. In this activity the participants had to find as many of the United States of America as they could within a very large word search.

Also in this week's blog you can see a selection of pictures from when we had a tractor come and park in the school car park. It was a great treat for us in Class 3 when our turn came to see the tractor up close and talk to the farmers who had brought it on Wednesday afternoon.

The final two pictures link back again to our English topic of the week which has been on paragraphs. On Friday we got a chance to write some of our own on the topic of American animals and one or two of us were proud enough of what we had produced to want to read ours aloud to the rest of the class.
