Primary 3 – Tuesday Literacy Home Learning Task!

PHONICS – With a person at home use your pencil as your pointing stick and work your way through the speed sound sheet. Remember to challenge yourself and try to say the sounds in a different order.
Each of you have either set 2 or set 3 sounds in your home learning packs too. With someone at home say the sound and then the words underneath. Remember to say…

  • The special friends
  • Fred in your head
  • Say the words

Work through this booklet to practice this!

Writing Task

Before the school closed we learned all about speech bubbles and created comic strips using these.

Your task today is to create your own comic strip using speech bubbles each time a character talks.

Our comic strip will only have 3 parts, the beginning, the middle and the end. First try to come up with an idea for your story which you could break down into 3 different pictures. Maybe a sentence for each.

Idea for box 1 –

Idea for box 2 –

Idea for box 3 –

Next begin to sketch out a character for your comic strip. This could be a person, an animal or something else.

Then start to draw out your 3 boxes. Remember to give your comic strip story a title too!

Finally start to use your ideas to draw a picture in each box adding a speech bubble around any words your character might say in your story!

Be creative, remember you can share these on the blog too.

Have fun 🙂

Primary 3 – Monday Home Learning Challenge!

This weekend I came across another Roald Dahl book called ‘Revolting Recipes‘  which I thought was very strange! It was a book which tells you how to make all the horrible food mentioned in his other stories.

Lots of the recipes  sounded awful, for example…

  • Fresh Mudburgers (from James and The Giant Peach)
  • Lickable Wallpaper (from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory)
  • Wormy Spaghetti (from The Twits)
  • Frobscottle (from The BFG)

Mmmmmm I bet they are so tasty!🤮🤢

Todays challenge is to describe and draw the most disgusting meal EVER! What can you come up with! Use your imagination 🤪

Primary 3 – Monday Home Learning Daily 15, Reading and Newsround!
