Monday 23^rd November 2020

Good morning Year 3. I hope you have all had a nice weekend with your family. I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Don’t forget to bring a smile and the work that you have completed at home.

I have been getting out all of my Christmas decorations over the weekend, I haven’t put them up yet – that is going to be Friday evening’s fun. I normally wait until the first weekend In December but I am going to do it a week early this year.

I watched the final Harry Potter movie on Sunday. I will probably watch and read them all again throughout December.

I know some of you were disappointed that we were not in school for Children in Need Day so on Friday 27th November we will have our own Children in Need Day in Year 3. You can wear something spotty. You can also wear odd socks on Friday as this is something the rest of the school did as part of Friendship Week to celebrate that we are all unqique. 

Friday 27th November - wear something spotty and odd socks. 

See you tomorrow J

Reading

Please read out loud to somebody at home today for 20 minutes.  Talk about what you have read.  

Spelling

Your new spellings this week do not follow a rule. They are some of the spellings which you need to know by the end of Year 3. You will be tested on these spellings on Thursday in school. 

accident, actual, address, answer, appear, arrive, believe, bicycle, breath, breathe

Split your spellings up into chunks you can remember and write out these chunks in different colours.

Here is an example: accident

Times tables

Call out your x tables in different voices – like a robot, like a baby, in a deep voice, in a whisper, in slow motion.

Writing

Today I would like you to write a letter to me that you can give to me tomorrow. Please take care with spelling, handwriting, capital letters and full stops. I would like you to organise your writing into paragraphs.

• Paragraph 1 – what you have been doing during the past 2 weeks
• Paragraph 2 – what you are looking forward to when we are back in school
• Paragraph 3 – goals that you are going to try to achieve in our first week back

Here is an idea of how to start your letter and how to start each paragraph.

Dear Miss Smith

During the past 2 weeks, I have been…

I can’t wait to go back to school. I am excited to…

In the first week back I am going to work really hard. I have thought carefully about what I need to do to improve my learning. I am going to…

Maths

There is a Sumdog challenge that will just last for today. The challenge will focus on number facts and times tables.

Please make sure you have a go. 26 of you started the last challenge – well done!

Have a go at measuring in cm on the following website.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/measuring-in-cm

There are 2 levels to choose from.

If anybody wants an extra challenge, see if you can write the length in cm and mm.

There are 10mm in 1cm.

Example –

Rubber = 4cm = 40mm

Crayon = 5.5cm = 55mm

Judaism

Last week you looked at the outside of a synagogue – the Jewish place of worship.

Watch this video which talks about the inside of a synagogue.

Design a stained glass window for a synagogue – remember no human faces are used. You can draw and colour it in or you can use coloured scraps of paper from your recycling.

Attached to this blog are some pictures to help you.
