English
Fluency
Y3LP have completed text marking to aid our fluency. We spotted full stops, commas and inverted commas and used our knowledge of these punctuation marks to aid our reading. We tracked carefully as we read and used lovely expression in our voices.
the hot seat…
Some of our readers braved the hot seat, using their inferencing skills to explain the choices our main character would make based on what we already know about them.
Hot Seating
Y3LP are continuing to explore our whole class text ‘Amazing Grace’. We have used hot-seating to explore why Grace thinks boys have better parts in pantomimes and consider which role we think Grace would most like to play and why.
Biography – Early Life
Y3LP have created an early life paragraph for their biographies. We have told people when and where Louis Oasteur was born, what his family was like and what his childhood was like.
Ellipsis
In reading, Y3LP learnt about a new type of punctuation called an ellipsis. We marked the text to find examples of this punctuation mark and then completed our paired reading.
Research and note-making
Y3LP have worked hard to research Louis Pasteur and record some key facts about his life. We used search engines and note making strategies to gather information for our writing next week.
Amazing Grace
Year 3 West have been working with their reading partners in today’s fluency lesson, reading the next extract from our half term text- Amazing Grace.
Past tense
Y3LP have explored the spelling rules linked to creating past tense verbs. We then applied these rules by sorting sentences into past and present tense and by changing sentences from the present tense to the past tense.
Fastest Finger First
Y3LP explored the first section of ‘Amazing Grace’ in more detail. We completed our paired reading of the section, really showing appropriate pauses for full stops. We then answered a range of questions by locating the evidence in the text and using our fast fingers to show where we found the answers.
Biographies
Y3LP are learning all about biographies in English. We looked at examples of biographies and identified the key parts of the text.
Text Marking
We read the first part of our class text ‘Amazing Grace’. We marked the text to show where the full stops were. This has helped us to leave a longer pause when we came to the end of a sentence to help us with our fluency.
