English Activities 

Task 1 - Comprehension The Sun. 

This comprehension is on The Sun and will help you when we move onto our new science topic on The Earth, Sun and Moon. There are three different levels of difficulty and you can choose the level that suits you best. 1 star is easier and 3 stars is the most difficult. The stars can be found on the bottom left of each page. You can answer the questions in your exercise book or print them off. There are also answers at the back but please wait until you have answered the questions before looking at them. 

Task 2 - First News Reading Task. 

For something different, read the First News newspaper and answer the questions to complete the crosswords. Choose your level: Water is level 1 and easier, Discovery is level 2 and Science is level 3. There is also a quiz for you to do. If you finish one quickly try the next level, can anyone complete all 3? You can print out the sheets or write your answers in a list in your exercise book. 

e.g. 

1 across -  answer 

2 down  - answer. 

Task 3 - Florence Nightingale Factfile. 

You may have heard the word Nightingale on the news recently. Can you find out why some of our new hospitals have been called NHS Nightingale and write a fact file about this special person (think back to your work in Year 2)? 

Task 4, 5 and 6 - Left Behind. 

Spread task 4, 5 and 6 out over two days. 

Task 4 look at the image of the girl looking at the boat and read the opening to the story. 

Answer the questions in your exercise book, using the image and story to help you. 

Task 5 look at the 'sick' sentences describing the image. Improve them writing the more imaginative and detailed sentences in your exercise books. 

Task 6 use the image and the example to write your own opening to this mystery story. 

If you are ready for a challenge you could continue the story.
