The homework Y3 sent in this week was so amazing! Your children clearly spent lots of time working hard to produce their homework and clearly enjoyed doing so, too! Well done!
This week, the homework is a practise makes perfect: I can correct squashed sentences. It is due in on Thursday 01 October for homework review.
In writing lessons, we have been reminding ourselves what a squashed sentence is. A squashed sentence is where two ‘chunks of information’ that make sense on their own haven’t been separated by a full stop or a conjunction.
For example:
Humpty climbed the wall he was very scared. This is a squashed sentence as it needs something in between wall and he.
Humpty climbed the wall and He was very scared are chunks of information that make sense on their own.
Instead, it should read:
Humpty climbed the wall. He was very scared. OR Humpty climbed the wall and he was very scared (or a different, appropriate conjunction).
Your task is to correct these squashed sentences. As an extra challenge, you could write some of your own sentences.
Times Tables
This week, your homework is to practise the times tables that have been assigned to you on TT Rockstars.
Keep up the great effort, Y3.
