Year 3 Home Learning 19th January 2021

Date: 18th Jan 2021 @ 3:41pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a happy Monday and enjoyed doing your work. I really enjoyed learning about Brazil and South America – I never knew that Brazil was named after a type of tree.

Well done for the work you have done, I have been very impressed with what I have seen 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 questions you do for your writing and I will reply telling you which questions you got correct.

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 on Monday (you could write your own list too)

• I enjoyed looking at maps and learning new facts – I am fascinated by the world around us.
• I took a few quiet moments after school to listen to the birds tweeting outside in the Nature Area, it made me feel calm and happy.
• I am already excited to read the next chapter of Mr Stink - it is very funny :)

Below the video, there is some information to read.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zg87xnb/articles/z6x2382/

Attached to this blog are some key events which happened during the Ancient Egyptian Civilisation.

Put the events in order starting with 6000 BC and ending with 30 BC. BC means before Jesus was born. 6000 BC is 6000 years before Jesus was born. 30 BC is 30 years before Jesus was born. So 6000 BC is further in the past than 30 BC.
