Home Learning from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 for Week beginning 11.5.20

Hello again, we hope that you are all safe and well and we can see from the home learning that you have been really busy and productive, which is amazing to see!

We have really enjoyed seeing the range of work from home and how some of you celebrated VE Day last Friday. Below are some examples of this week's work from home.

Writing- some wonderful descriptive poetry. Can you find any adjectives or adverbs? Can you find any figurative language? Can you find any interesting vocabulary? Do the poems make you feel as if you are there?

One child composed an amazing poem about a hawk. It includes some effective figurative language and some excellent vocabulary choices. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.

One cold, scary night the hawk glides into the dusk,

The howling of the wind like a wolf in the night

the storm is about to start, trees swaying side to side,

the hawk with its razor-sharp vision

spies on its scrumptious feast,

the forest floor was gathering puddles,

the rabbit looked up and started to run,

with panic and fear in its eyes,

it jumped into its burrow,

just missing the hawks shark talons as it swooped down

the rabbits heart was pounding with fear,

the hawk was angry with a hungry and rumbly belly

the wind pushes the hawk to the ground,

the hawk fell and smashed into the ground with a thump,

the hawk got to its feet and took off to find its feast ,

it spots its prey and swoops down opening its talons catching it this time,

the rabbit was squealing with fear,

as they both took off into the night sky…..

More figurative language here- well done!

And here...

DESCRIPTIVE POEM ABOUT MY CATS BY GRAYSON

I have some cats and their names are BARNEY, PEBBLES they have soft fur, green eyes, BIG EARS.

I stroke them and I play with them. I have lots of fun.

They like to hunt for Birds and Mice and we get to clean it up.

Cats are nocturnal they like to sleep in the day and are awake at night.

Cats have good hearing and smell.

Cats are great pets. We are lucky to have them.

Cats are great explorers they can also see in the dark.

Cats are brave animals I am so proud of them.

They always come in and out of our cat flap.

I love my cat’s they’re great.

THE HUNTING TIGER by Maya Palmer-MacDonald

In the Savannah with the trees and tall grass

The tiger plays with its cute cubs

With its webbed feet to swim in the warm water

Razor sharp teeth to catch fish

Fearless eyes to see its prey

Sharp claws to climb rocks

Outstanding stripes to hide from its prey

Slow, then fast to hunt

Its elegant growl to frighten animals away

The Fox

As dusk appears

The old fox waits

His den is full of hungry mouths

He is the hunter

A flash in the undergrowth

His whiskers start to twitch

A rabbit or a mouse

Will do just fine

He crouches ready to pounce

As the moonlight shines

He catches his prey

As time passes

the cubs grow strong

they are sly and ruthless

they can hunt like their dad

beware of the fox

he is cunning

Reading comprehension:

Book reviews- would you like to read this book?

Maths work:

Some active maths- lots of running, then sorting into how long programmes were- in different ways...
Some of you may have converted to the same units- hours or minutes- to compare.

In Year 3, there were several 20/20 scores in arithmetic this week- lots of jumping up and down from Mrs Gudde! Well done to you all for doing so well. Just one here, to represent you all...
