Thursday 12^th November 2020

Good morning Year 3. I hope you are all feeling happy and well. I miss you all already but we know we will be back together in 2 weeks.

Please complete the work set over the next 2 weeks so that when we are back together in 2 weeks we can carry on with all of our amazing learning in school.

Reading

It is SO IMPORTANT to keep up with your reading EVERY DAY over the next 2 weeks.

Please read out loud to somebody at home today for 20 minutes. After each page or chapter, tell them what has happened in your own words.

Spelling

Today in school you would have been tested on your spellings, so ask somebody to test you on the spellings you were given last week.

medal, petal, capital, hospital, animal, equal, final, pedal, magical, local

If there are any that you get wrong, practise them and then ask somebody to test you again.

If anybody wants an extra challenge, ask somebody to test you on some of the spellings from previous weeks. They are all on the school website on the Home Practice sheets under Year 3 Blog Items.

Times tables

Today in school you would have been tested on your x tables, so ask somebody to test you on your x tables. You all know which x table you are focussing on.

Remember in class, the questions are read out twice and in a mixed up order.

It might be fun if you then swap and you can test people at home.

Writing

In class we have been talking a lot about being positive. I really want you to stay happy and positive over the next 2 weeks.

For your writing today I want you to set yourself a small goal for each day – when we achieve our goals it makes us feel happy.

Copy and complete the table, fill in your goals, and then tick them off when you have done them.

Focus – joined up handwriting, capital letters, perfect spelling.

Here are some ideas if you struggle:

• Do 20 minutes of mindfulness or yoga from Youtube
• Read 20 pages of my book
• Write a diary
• Stay off screen all day (phone, TV, computer, IPad)
• Get up early
• Write down 5 things I am grateful for
• Clean my bedroom
• Exercise for 10 minutes
• Eat more fruit and vegetables
• Create my own workout
• Try a new type of exercise
• Go to bed early
• Learn something new
• Speak to a friend

Maths

Complete today’s Sumdog challenge.

Today I would like you to practise telling the time.

Watch the BBC video and complete the quiz at the end https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zm4k7ty/articles/zbjbbdm

After, have a look at the different clocks you can find in your house. Talk about them with somebody at home, try to tell the time at different points throughout the day – ask somebody at home to help you.

Here is a game you can have a go at; there are different levels to choose from.

RE and Art

This week in school is Judaism Week, where every class is learning something different about Judaism. In Year 3 our learning focus is the Jewish place of worship – the synagogue.

The synagogue is a special building where the Jewish community meet to pray, study and celebrate. If possible, synagogues are built facing in the direction of where the Temple was in Jerusalem. Jewish people often call the synagogue the shul which is a Yiddish word for school.

The outside of the synagogue might be decorated with a design of a menorah, or a six sided star, and the name of the synagogue in Hebrew letters. There are no statues or representations of the faces of people because for the Jewish people that would be going against the second of The Ten Commandments which says you must not worship images you have made.

When boys and men go into the synagogue must cover their heads. The little round hat they wear is called a kippah. Often women covered their heads too. The men often wear a tallit that is a prayer shawl over their shoulders. These are worn as a sign of respect and as a reminder of God’s presence.

Design the outside of a synagogue, remembering what you have seen and learnt.
