Year 3 Home Learning 21st January 2021

Date: 20th Jan 2021 @ 2:20pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a nice day and are looking forward to another day of learning. I hope you enjoyed listening to my reading of some of Mr Stink – I love reading to you all. Today you will get to see me in a video which I have made for your maths lesson – I had some help from some wonderful Year 3 children.

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 your arithmetic questions and number lines.  

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 Wednesday (you could write your own list too)

• Morgan and Louis were very helpful with making a video for your maths lesson – we had a few funny mistakes like pen lids flinging and the wrong words being said.
• Ms Hodson was laughing a lot while we were reading Mr Stink – especially the bit about the egg sandwiches and toilet habits. It makes me happy when I hear people laughing.
• 3 of you have already completed the homophones challenge on Sumdog J
• 9 of you have already completed the times table challenge on Sumdog J
• 9 of you have already completed the statistics challenge on Sumdog J

Title – Can I use exciting vocabulary?

You are going to write a story explaining who Mr Stink used to be and how he became homeless. Use your imagination just like Chloe does.

I would like you to choose 5 good words from this chapter and write them down, you are going to use them in your writing.

Here are my choices:

Invented, powerful, abandoned, hilarious, world-famous

 

Please write two paragraphs and try to write at least half a page in total.

 

Paragraph 1:

Mr Stink used to…

 

Paragraph 2:

It all ended and he became homeless when…

 

Please make sure you have:

• Beautiful handwriting
• Capital letters and full stops
• Great spelling

 

Here are some top tips of how to make your writing amazing:

• Include commas and exclamation marks.
• Include a question.
• Include a simile.
• Include feelings.
• Start sentences in different ways.
• Use conjunctions – if, when, as, so, because, even though.

French

Here’s a song to recap greetings    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXkJ88ygPY0

Look back at your pencil case words from last week. Test yourself. How many can you remember?

Go through the PowerPoint again to remind yourself of all the other items.

Scroll down to Lesson 9 with audio.

Now collect some pencil case items and play Kim’s Game.  You’ll need an adult to help.

Look carefully at the items for about thirty seconds. Then you close your eyes and the adult takes one item away. The adult asks ‘Qu’est-ce qui manque?’ (kess key monk?) What’s missing? You say the name of the missing item in French and roles are swapped.

Here’s a familiar song to finish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4kNeFGBAcw

Merci beaucoup. A la semaine prochaine!
