Wednesday 3rd March 2021

Welcome to a wonderful Wednesday!  We have the next section of The Hobbit, I hope you are enjoying as much as we are! Then this afternoon in science we will begin looking at our digestive system and what happens once we have put food in our mouth!

Lets begin by moving along with those Blazer fresh boys, reading like a robot:

Spellings

Y3:

These are your spelling for this week; they are all homophones, words which sound the same, but have different meanings. 

meet hear knot which break

meat here not witch brake

Its Wednesday and that means it is word search day, see how many of the words you can find.  Try challenging your parents to a race, who can find them fastest?

Y4:

These are your spelling for this week; they all sound the same at the end but they are spelled differently. 

Optician, magician , extension, explosion, exclusion,

profession, mission, possession,  fiction, direction

Its Wednesday and that means it is word search day, see how many of the words you can find.  Try challenging your parents to a race, who can find them fastest?

SPAG: Metaphors - personification

Personification applies human characteristics to non-human objects.  Have a look at the area around you, what can you see, can you give them personalities?

Reading Skills

Read the following text a few times to an adult then answer the questions that follow it.

ENGLISH

LI: to include a range of metaphors

The Hobbit by JRR Tolkein

Read chapter 4  - then look at landscape of Rivendell and then find some personification metaphors to describe it

For example;

The whispering leaves, the silent lake, the moon looking down, waterfall diving down the hills among the dreaming rocks, the clouds lazily stretching across the sky.

Use the metaphors and similes we have been looking at to write a description of the  picture.  Try to convey how it makes you feel in your use of words and don't forget to use paragraphs.

Now let’s have a brain break and move with The Vamps

Maths 

If you have completed the work that is on the blog, have a look at the maths pages for some extra work including reasoning questions!

SCIENCE:

THE HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM!
How does our body absorb the nutrients it gets from food? What are the body parts (organs) that help us do this? Find out by clicking the image and watching DR BINOCS presentation!

TASK

COPY THE DIAGRAM AND USE THE WORDS IN THE WORD BANK TO LABEL THE PARTS OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM CORRECTLY.

SCIENCE CHALLENGE!

WRITE A SHORT EXPLANATION OF WHAT EACH OF THE ORGANS DO IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. USE THE VIDEO ABOVE TO HELP YOU.

MAKE A MODEL DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

WATCH THE VIDEOS FROM BBC BITE SIZE AND STEM.ORG.

HAVE A GO AT MAKING AND USING A DIGESTIVE SYSTEM MODEL! VIDEO YOUR MODEL IN ACTION! WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT PARTS YOU HAVE MADE AND HOW DO THEY HELP DIGESTION?

EXTRA BITE SIZE: DIGESTION

Watch the 5 clips and try out the questions and quizzes to become a Digestion Champion! How many can you remember? What was your highest score?

Nearly the end of day. Now it’s time for a little quiet, prayer and reflection with our Class worship. Click the candle.

Time for a story to finish our day. Click the image and choose one to read.

Well done, you have got to the end of Wednesday's work.  Don’t forget to send your work to the class e-mail address or through Teams, so your teacher will be able to have a look at it and maybe put it on the hub page!
