Date: 17th Jan 2021 @ 4:44pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a nice weekend with your families and are looking forward to another week of impressing your parents with your amazing work J

Well done for all of the work you have been doing. I have been so impressed with all of the work you have sent me on Seesaw.

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

Please keep sending me your work on Seesaw – I am so proud of you for the work I have seen so far.  Today I would like you to send me a photo of the writing you do.

Remember to bring your home learning book into school if you are coming in on some days.

You can change your school reading books whenever you need to, just let the school office know beforehand so we can get some books ready for you to collect.

 

Things that made me smile over the weekend (you could write your own list too)

• I went for a nice walk on Saturday and watched some dogs playing in the huge puddles, they looked so happy.
• My dad sent me a funny picture where he had given the dog, Chester, a funny moustache – I have attached a photo to this blog so you can see.
• I had a video call with all of my friends on Saturday; it made me happy to speak to them all.
• 12 of you completed the suffix challenge on Sumdog – well done to you.
• 22 of you completed the times tables challenge on Sumdog – give yourself a pat on the back.
• 14 of you completed the division challenge on Sumdog – ask somebody at home to give you a high 5.

Today’s lesson is about drawing pictograms. I have also attached a video and worksheet about drawing tally charts, you do not have to do these, but they could help you with the pictograms lesson. You could have a look at them before starting the pictogram lesson.

Please watch the video and complete the worksheet. The answers are attached so you can check when you have finished.

 

Geography

Have a look at Brazil on a map to remind yourself how big it is.

You can use Google Earth and zoom in and out or you can follow this link:

https://geology.com/world/brazil-satellite-image.shtml

Look at the main cities and rivers; I wonder if you noticed that most of the cities are along the coast.

Today you are going to be looking at different places in Brazil to help imagine what life is like there. I bet it is quite different to life in England.

Attached to this blog is a Rainforest Researcher Quiz.

Please complete the following questions first using a map:

1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 15, 16,

If you want, you can use the internet to try to answer the rest of the questions.

The answers are attached to this blog so you can check afterwards. The answer sheet also has lots of interesting facts that you can read.

If you find out any interesting facts whilst you are researching, please send me them on Seesaw so I can share them with everybody J
