Year 3 Home Practice 19th March 2021

Date: 19th Mar 2021 @ 12:35pm

We have had a wonderful week in Year 3, made even better by the sunshine. Everybody looked fantastic on Friday in red for Red Nose Day. We focussed on being happy and making each other smile.

In Maths we have been practising the 8x tables and have been looking at different ways to subtract.  

We are loving our book in English at the moment – The Accidental Prime Minister. It has inspired us to think of what we would do if we were in charge of the country.

This week we have also been looking at South America in the atlas, Ancient Egypt and some artefacts, and light in Science.

Home Practice for 19^th – 26^th March

The key to completing your home practice is to do a little bit every night.

1. Read to somebody at home every night for 20 minutes. Talk about what you have read.

2. Please practise your 8x tables on Hit the Button. Play 3 games every night. See how much quicker you can get each night.

3. Go on Sumdog and complete the following challenges:

Times Tables Challenge: 19^th March – 26^th March

Fractions Challenge: 19^th March – 26^th March

Spelling Challenge: 19^th March – 26^th March

4. Spellings

The spellings this week are words which have the /u/ sound spelled ou. We have been practising these spellings in school, but we need more practice at home as a lot of us have been finding them tricky.

Say the words out loud, find the meaning of the words, write them out in different coloured chunks that you will remember, and write them out each night.

courage, discourage, encourage, double, enough, rough, tough, touch, young, trouble

5. You will be tested on your spellings and times tables on Thursday 25^th March. Make sure you practise every night.
