Good morning Year 3. I hope you have had a nice day today. The maths work you have sent me on Seesaw is super!
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 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.
- Write down your working out.
- 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 writing, I will be looking out for some funny and imaginative ideas.
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.
Don’t forget to go on Sumdog. 25 of you have been on the grammar and spelling challenge, and still just 1 person has completed it. 19 of you have been on the related facts challenge and 3 of you have already completed it. Well done.
Things that made me smile on Wednesday (you could write your own list too)
- The thought of Mr Stink wearing makeup and a butterfly clip.
- Your great maths work on Seesaw.
- A loud singalong in my car.

Reading
Please read out loud to somebody for 20 minutes.
Choose 3 words that you don’t know the meaning of. Try to figure out their meaning from the sentence and then use a dictionary to check if you were correct.
Spelling
Here are your spellings for this week. They are homophones. Homophones are words which sound the same but have different meanings or spellings. Some are near homophones which means they have slightly different pronunciation.
quiet, quite, bare, bear, sun, son, new, knew, night, knight
Write the long date: Thursday 28th January 2021
Write the title: Homophone Pairs
Write out the homophone pairs next to each other.
quiet quite
bare bear
sun son
new knew
night knight
Add pictures or decorations to some of the words to help you remember what the different spellings mean. For example, you might turn the k in knight into a sword, or you might turn the t at the end of quiet into a finger over lips to show sssh.
Writing:
Read pages 216 – 226 of Mr Stink attached to this blog. I wonder if you notice a change in Chloe in this chapter.
This chapter uses a lot of similes, similes compare things to other things to help describe them. Here are the similes from this chapter.
Mother’s bouffant danced around her head like candyfloss on a windy day at the seafront as she attempted to hold it down.
She shot across the garden like a furry cannonball and into the pond.
The postal districts were packed below her like squares on a chessboard.
Gosh, he does smell like a toilet.
Long date: Thursday 28th January 2021
Title – Can I write similes?
Write your own similes about:
Mother’s hair
The cat being blown across the garden
What the town looked like from up above in the helicopter
Mr Stink’s smell
You can start your sentences like this if you want to, or some of you might come up with your own ideas:
Mother’s bouffant danced around her head like…
She shot across the garden like…
The postal districts were packed below her like…
Gosh, he does smell like…
For an extra challenge, you could also make up some more similes about:
The Prime Minister
Ten Downing Street
Chloe sticking up for Mr Stink
Anything you like
Remember:
Perfect spelling
Capital letters and full stops
Beautiful handwriting
Please send me your similes on Seesaw – I will be looking out for great handwriting, perfect spelling, capital letters and good ideas.

Listen to the 8x tables rap – dance and sing along.

Maths
Today you are going to do some arithmetic questions. Please watch two videos on Seesaw before starting.
Remember the number line method we looked at last week, use this to help you with question 19. Watch the video on Seesaw again if you need a reminder.
I have also posted two new videos on Seesaw to help you with questions 20 and 25.
After you have watched the videos, set a timer for 20 minutes.
Before using the answer sheet, read through your answers to make sure you haven’t made any silly mistakes – we had lots of these last week in class!
After 20 minutes and after you have checked yourself, use the answer sheet to check your answers.
PE
Watch the video:
Complete the activity called – Feeling Flexible
French
We were doing really well with our French phonics so here’s a video to watch first to practise some sounds.

First, it recaps the pencil case items that you should be quite familiar with by now. On slide 5, you are going to use a negative sentence – Example, there is no ruler = il n’y a pas de règle. Slide 7 – 9 are spot the difference slides. Again you need a negative – il n’y a pas de … there is no ….Notice you need the word de (duh) after a negative.
On slide 11, you are going to have a conversation with someone else if possible, or with your teddy if not! Tu as un …..? Do you have a ….? The reply is either Oui, j’ai un ….. Yes I have a ….. or Non, je n’ai pas de …… No, I don’t have a …..
In your book, write the date en francais – mardi vingt-six fevrier and the title
Can I write a conversation including a negative sentence?
Using slide 11 as a model, can you write a conversation like this using one ‘Yes I have’ reply and one ‘No I don’t have’ reply?
Here’s my favourite song to finish!

Très bien! I’d really like to see your work on Seesaw! A la semaine prochaine.
