Good morning Year 3,

Half way through another week of home learning! We are so impressed with all of the work you have sent in to us this week! 

First of all... here are the answers for the sentence of the day and fluent in 5 from yesterday:

A mountain range is a group of mountains found on land or under the sea. Some mountains used to be volcanos like Ben Nevis in Scotland Snowdon in Wales.

A needs a capital letter to start the sentence.

Under not unda – it has the er suffix

Sea not see – this is a homophone, two words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have a different meaning. Sea is like the ocean which is the one we want. See is to see something.

Some not sum – again, homophone. Some means a few of something and sum means the sum of something e.g.the sum of 2 numbers in maths.

Used – It may sound like it has you at the beginning but it is just the ‘u’ sound

2 in 1 = Wales – first of all needs a capital letter because it is the name of a place and secondly, it is spelt differently. Whales are the animal. Wales is the place.

2/3 of 12       = 8                                  3/8 of 40      = 15

4/10 of 50     =20                                 2/4 of 44       =22

Well done if you got those answers correct! Now on to today's challenges. 

Sentence of the day:

Can you spot where the capital letters should go and why?

julie and ben were walking through high end park on sunday when a fox jumped out of the bushes and chased them all the way back home to their house on windmill lane.

SPAG Activity: 

Maths Activity: Addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator.

Remember, you only need to change the numerator by adding them together or taking them away. The denominator stays the same.

The answers are only these 3 fractions on the bottom so if you got a different fraction to 3/10, 7/10 or 9/10 for your answer, check again carefully. 

CC activity:

Watch this video on getting to the very top of Europe’s 10 tallest mountains and imagine how it might feel whilst you were stood at the very top of them. After all that hard work and training, how would you feel.

Now, can you write a short diary entry as if you were one of the people in the video? Remember, a diary entry is FIRST person. That means, I, I’m, we, my, us, me, I’ll – you know this from your Boudicca diary entries! See how much you can describe. Answer these questions:

What can you see?

What can you hear?

What can you smell?

How do you feel?

What are you thinking?

Start with:

Dear Diary,

I can’t believe we’ve finally made it to the top. The view is …

We can't wait to read them all! 

Finally, speaking of reading. We set you a challenge to read in as many different places as you could, we've had a few emails back with pictures of this which were great!

Happy learning at home!
