YEAR 3 FEB 2021 HOME LEARNING WEEK 5
Sheet/answer sheet below.
For English this and next we are going to be looking at the work we should have been covering in school all about Greek myths and legends. You should be very good at this as we covered some of this last term in our Greeks topic!
Attached below is the lesson objectives, outline and task for each day this week and any supporting documents. Please follow the lesson each day and complete the task.
Geography
Continuing our studies for rivers, this week we are going to look at some local rivers. Use Google earth or local maps to explore your local area. Are there any rivers near to where you live? Which is the biggest river local to you? I’d like you to take note of the nearest river to you, and see if you can find out some more information – where is the source? In what area does the river join the sea? What towns does the river flow through? Does it join any other rivers? Take some notes answering these questions from what you find.
Have a look at the getting to grips with grid references Powerpoint and treasure map activity sheet. If you have a paper map of the local area, you can also have a look at the grid reference for where you live.
Lesson objective: I can explore Greek names and spellings.
Have a think about if you know any other Greek myths. Have a look at the attached sheet of Greek names and see if you can have a try reading some! If you find this tricky, try breaking the words into syllables and try out different ways you could pronounce them.
Have a look at the video of the Greek myth “Daedalus and Icarus” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVkwWo_LNZsHow do you feel after watching this?
Task: Have another look at the list of Greek names. Do you notice anything about the endings? Underline names which end in ‘a’ in red, ‘us’ in blue, ‘o’ in green and ‘e’ in orange. Write a few sentences about what you notice.

Lesson objective: I can list the events of a Greek myth.
First, start off listening again to the story Daedalus and Icarus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVkwWo_LNZs
Task: write down a list of the main events in the story. Why may this story have changed over time? (To help you answer this question, think back to when we looked at folktales) There are lots of different versions of Greek myths.
Look at the attached story of Icarus. There is a longer, or a shorter version.
Read this aloud to yourself or someone else. Try to read clearly with a good tone and volume, try not to rush. Have a think about any new vocabulary in the story that you haven’t heard before. Note down 5 examples of vocabulary which you think is particularly expressive.
Task: list the main events of the story of Icarus.

Art
This week I am setting a photography challenge. Go out on your daily exercise and see if you can take some nice landscape pictures. This could be of fields, rivers, woods, whatever is around you! Pick one of your favourites and re create it using materials available to you!
Lesson objective: I can re write the story of Icarus.
Task: today you are going to re write the story of Icarus which you read on Wednesday. You are going to write a short paragraph for each sentence you used to summarise the story, so you will need to write in greater detail. You can draw some sketches alongside your paragraphs to illustrate your story, see example attached. See if you can begin to learn your version of the story by heart!
