Year 3 – Friday 1st May

Good morning lovely people!

We’re at the end of another week of home learning and we are so very proud of everyone joining in and trying their best!

It’s amazing to keep in touch with everybody and see some amazing work being produced.

We hope you have a lovely weekend and can’t wait to hear from you all today.

Mrs Beckwith, Miss Lindop, Miss Barden and Miss Willmer.

Here are today’s tasks:

Reading:

Read the extract below and then answer the questions.

Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant‘s garden.

It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. ‘How happy we are here!’ they cried to each other.

One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle. When he arrived, he saw the children playing in the garden.

‘What are you doing here?’ he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away. ‘My own garden is my own garden,’ said the Giant; ‘any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.’ So, he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.

TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED

    READING:

    1) Where did the children used to play?
    The children used to go and play in the Giant‘s garden.

    2) Describe the garden. What did it look like? Use words from the text to help you.
    The Giant’s garden was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. It had beautiful flowers like stars scattered over the grass, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit.

    3) Were the children happy or sad in the garden? Why?
    The children were happy in the Giant’s garden because it was big and it had a lot of space to play in and it had loads of birds singing beautifully.

    4) Who had the giant been visiting?
    The Giant has been visiting his friend the Cornish ogre.

    5) How long had the giant been away?
    The Giant stayed away for seven years.

    6) In your own words describe what the giant did when he arrived at the garden.
    When the Giant arrived back in his garden, he was really angry to see the children playing in his garden. The Giant was so angry with the children that his face turned red and he didn’t allow anyone but himself to play in his own garden. That’s why he build a tall fence around his garden.

    7) What do you think about what the giant did? Was it good or bad? Why?
    I think that, what the Giant did was bad because by acting like this he didn’t make any friends and therefore he couldn’t invite anybody to play with in his garden. Now, I think the Giant could be a little bit sad.

    8) How did the children feel when the giant told them to leave?
    I think the children felt sad and scared because the Giant shouted in an angry voice: ” What are you doing in my garden?!”
