YEAR 3 FEB 2021 HOME LEARNING WEEK 6
Lesson outline: Have a look at the version of the Icarus story you wrote on Friday. Look at it one paragraph at a time. As you read, think about what punctuation and grammar you have used, have you used any of the following?
- Full stops
- Capital letters
- Commas
- Speech marks
- Paragraphs
- Fronted adverbials
- Conjunctions
- Time connectives
If not, could you edit and improve your work and make sure you’ve used at least 5 of the features listed above. Have you identified any spelling mistakes? You can use a dictionary to check these. Could you improve the language you have used? You can always use a thesaurus (online version too!) to look up synonyms of words you’ve used so that you can make your language even better! Have a look at my example of editing and improving.
Task: Using blue pen, edit and improve your writing from Friday. Make sure you include at least 5 of the punctuation and grammar from the list above and check your spellings.
Extension: select 4 sentences from your work from Friday and completely re write them, improving them as much as you can in terms of language, grammar, punctuation and spelling.

Lesson objective: I can write longer sentences.
Lesson outline: Look at the attached resource about conjunctions, adverbs and prepositions. We can make our sentences longer using these joining words. Choose 2 or 3 simple sentences from your Icarus writing on Friday, can you use a conjunction, adverb or preposition to make your sentence longer? To help with writing a complex sentence, we need to think about how, when, where or why something happened. You can connect sentences using words such as; when, before, after, while, because, next, so, soon and during.
Look at the story of Perseus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLePx0dH2Tc
God gave Perseus some magic weapons
- Feathered shoes from Hermes
- A bright shield from Athene
- A helmet of invisibility and a bag from Pluto.
Task: Write complex sentences including conjunctions, prepositions and adverbs about the gifts that Perseus was given. Use the word bank to help you. Underline the conjunctions, prepositions and adverbs in your sentence in a coloured pencil.
