Year 3 Home Learning 25th January 2021

Date: 24th Jan 2021 @ 5:32pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a nice weekend and enjoyed your learning on Fun Friday.

Well done for the work you have done, I have been very impressed with what I have seen on Seesaw, it was nice to see your pictures or videos on Friday. They put a smile on my face.

If you are finding any of your work 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 Geography and Art work.

The Sumdog challenges will start on Monday – make sure you log on and have a go.

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 had a snowball fight on the park – I won.
• I played basketball on the park with snowballs.
• I went for a run on Sunday morning and saw a fox; it walked right in front of me and stopped to look at me, and the street was called Fox Street – I couldn’t believe it!

Ask somebody to read out your spellings twice, ask them to read out these sentences so you can choose which homophone to use for each question.

1. There. Put your pencil over there.
2. Their. I like the way they did their hair.
3. They’re. They’re going to do well on the test.
4. Here. Come over here.
5. Hear. I can hear a bird tweeting.
