Good morning!
How are we all today?
How amazing was the weather yesterday? I hope you all managed to enjoy it.
At school, we had a lovely afternoon on the field. We even saw Ollie and his gorgeous Charlie and new puppy Malibu!
Let's have a look at what you've been up to.
Okay, let's get learning!
Literacy
Using your design from yesterday, today you are going to write a short story based on your design.
Think of your short story in three main parts.
Beginning – Character makes flying machine. He/she tests it but it doesn’t quite work. Maybe it crashes!
Middle – Character finds some inspiration and makes alterations to the flying machine.
End – Flying machine works or doesn’t work! Write some ideas/notes for each part.
Now write your short story. Remember to include some Year 3 sentence types/skills that you have learnt,
e.g.
− use different conjunctions in your writing (e.g. when, although, since, before, after, until)
− use adverbs in your writing (e.g. carefully, happily, soon, silently, next)
− use inverted commas (speech marks) to show a character is speaking
− use prepositions (e.g. above, below, beneath, beyond, within, outside)
Decide if you are writing in first person (I) or third person (he/she).
Make sure you keep it the same throughout the story.
Keep re-reading your story as you write to check it makes sense and you are happy with
it. Check for spelling and punctuation too!
