Date: 12th Jan 2021 @ 3:17pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a happy and smiley day.

Well done for all of the work you have been doing so far.

If you are finding any of it tricky you can:

• Draw things to help you in Maths like base 10.
• Use things in your house to help with Maths like coins, counters, toys.
• Write out the times tables you need for an activity before starting it.
• Use books and the internet for ideas.
• Discuss your work with people at home when they are not busy.
• Contact the school for support.

 

Reminders

Remember to keep all of your work in your exercise book so that we can celebrate it when we are all back together in school.

Remember you can change your reading books whenever you need to – just let the school office know.  

You can now send me your work on Seesaw.

 

Things that made me smile yesterday (you could write your own list too)

• I had the loudest sing along in the car on the way to work. A song came on the radio that I really like singing to, it was called High by the Lighthouse Family. You should try putting it on next time you are in the car.
• I ate my lunch outside in the sunshine.
• 31 of you have started the suffix challenge on Sumdog.
• 28 of you have started the times tables challenge on Sumdog.
• 10 of you have started the division challenge on Sumdog.
• I loved seeing the work you have sent me on Seesaw. It makes me so happy to see how hard you are all working, I know it must be difficult for you working at home.

Please send me a picture of your spelling work on Seesaw – I would love to see some beautiful handwriting and perfect spelling.

 

Writing:

Read through your news report. Check you haven’t missed any words, capital letters or full stops. It helps if you read it out loud.

Check you have used capital letters for places and names.

Use a dictionary or an online dictionary to check any spellings you think you need to check.

Write your news report out again, trying to make it even neater than yesterday and making sure there are no mistakes. Colour in the pictures you draw.

A writing sheet is attached to this blog.

If you are absolutely certain that your news report is already perfect, you can write a different news report about something else, you could make something up or write about some happy news in your house.

RE

Last week in RE, when we were all in school, we started our new RE topic – Journeys.

We talked about how our life is a journey.

Today you are going to be thinking about the Christian family’s journey with Jesus through the Church’s year.

Look at the diagram of the Church’s year.

The year of the Church family is marked by special events and seasons. It is called the Liturgical Year. It begins with the first Sunday of Advent and ends with the feast of Christ the King.

Below are 4 special events which the Christian family celebrate throughout a Liturgical Year.

• Advent
• Christmas
• Lent
• Easter

 

I would like you to:

• Draw a picture representing your favourite part of the Liturgical Year and write a paragraph explaining why this is your favourite part of the Liturgical Year.
