Information writing – This week our learning will be based around the our Virtual Sports Week. The children should write an information leaflet about a sports person.

Choose a sportsperson mentioned in the video who you would like to find more about (Helena Lucas, Andy Murray, Maude Watson, Jesse Owens, Bobby Moore, Ian Botham, Tessa Sanderson, Tanni Grey-Thompson, Steve Redgrave or Jessica Ennis-Hill). Write some questions you would like to ask to find out more about your sportsperson.

  • Day 2 – Use the internet to find out information about your chosen sportsperson. Can you answer the questions you wrote on day 1?
  • Day 3 – Write the text of your information leaflet. Use questions as sub-headings and organise your information in paragraphs to answer each question. Don’t forget to edit and up-level your work. Try to use synonyms and antonyms to make your writing more interesting.
  • Day 4 and 5 – Make your leaflet. Copy out your text in your best writing and include diagrams, labels, illustrations and captions.

Reading

We are continuing to set appropriate levelled books for each child using Reading Planet. A new book will be set each week. This should complement other reading your child is doing at home and children should also read books in traditional format where possible. The child should use their first name as their log-in and their class name as their password (either Blackfriars or Waterloo).  They will need the centre ID 211526. The website address is;

We are teaching in school more now due to partial school re-opening but we miss our year 3 children very much and love seeing the work they have done at home. Please continue to post work.
