Good morning Year 3. I hope you are feeling happy and well. It made me feel happy to see that so many of you have been on Sumdog, I am so proud of you for continuing to work hard even at home.
Try to think of something nice to do with your family over the weekend. I am going to make a list of my favourite songs and then listen to them while I have my tea on Friday. Ms Hodson is going to go to the park to look for squirrels and robins.
Well done for all of the work you have been doing so far.
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
Don’t forget to collect an exercise book to do your work in – we will be looking at them when we are all back in school. I already can’t wait to see!
Remember to contact the school office and then collect or change reading books whenever you need to.
Try to have a look at some newspapers at home if you can.
Things that made me smile yesterday (you could write your own list too)
- By Thursday lunch time, 29 of you had started the Sumdog challenge – amazing, well done!!!!!!
- Outside looked beautiful with the frosty ground.
- I enjoyed speed walking around the track at playtime to warm myself up.
- I sang in the car on my way to school – I LOVE singing in the car.
Friday 8th January 2021
Reading
Please read out loud to somebody for 20 minutes. Once you have collected a school book from the office, you can start to read that.
Tell somebody what you think is going to happen next.
Spelling
Here are your spellings for this week:
television, treasure, usual, measure, pleasure, decision, vision, leisure, version, visual
Write the long date: Friday 8th January 2021
Write the title: Both hand spellings
Split your page in half. On one half, write your spellings with the hand you normally write with. On the other half, write your spellings with your other hand.
Take care to spell the words correctly.
We are going to have a spelling test in school on Monday which I am also going to ask you to do at home. So it might be a good idea to practise your spellings over the weekend.
Writing activity 1:
Read the pages from Mr Stink attached to this blog, p158 - 160.
Mr Stern’s news report is written on pages 159 and 160.
You are going to write more of your news report today.
Usually news reports have quotes in them. A quote is something that somebody has said.
Quotes include inverted commas (speech marks) and who said it.
Here are some examples of quotes that might be in the news report about Mrs Crumb.
- Mrs Crumb was telling us about her policy and said, “I believe that all homeless people should be off the streets.”
- Mr Stink said, “my new home is nice but the service is painfully slow.”
- Mrs Crumb had this to say about Mr Stink. “He deserves a home and I am happy to feed him as many sausages as he needs.”
- “It was all my idea.” Said Mrs Crumb.
- The tramp, known locally as Mr Stink, had this to say. “Please could I trouble you for another sausage?”

Please use bullet points and write down at least 3 quotes you could include in your news report.
You can copy the ones below and fill in the gaps with what the person said, or you can make up your own.

Write the title: Speed write
Focus: beautiful handwriting, capital letters and full stops.
Set a timer for 10 minutes, write as much as you can about anything you like.
Times tables
Call out your times tables while you are running on the spot.
Write out your times tables, in order first and then mixed up.
If you cannot remember which times table you are on, you can practise the 4s.
We are going to have a times tables test in school on Monday which I am also going to ask you to do at home. So it might be a good idea to practise your times tables over the weekend.
Counting
Count out loud in 4s up to 48 and then backwards to 0.
Sumdog
Go on Sumdog and complete the following challenges:
- Multiplication and division challenge: 6th January – 10th January
Maths
Today in Maths you are going to do some dividing by sharing and making equal groups.
Some of the questions include cubes. For these questions you can use anything in your house e.g. coins, buttons, toys. Or you can draw squares.
Watch this video and pause where you need to:
Please complete the sheet attached to this blog called ‘Make equal groups – sharing.’ Then you can use the answer sheet to check your answers.
Extra challenge
If you want some extra division practice, you can complete the sheet called ‘Extra division.’
You can either complete the questions by drawing circles and sharing or by using your times tables.
To use your times tables, count in steps of the number you are dividing by and see how many there are.
12 ÷ 4.
Count in 4s.
4, 8, 12.
There are three 4s, so 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
Music

Computing
Remember when you found out about sloths? I found it so interesting to read everything you found.
So today I would like you to find out about jaguars and make a PowerPoint or a Word document with what you find out. As we were studying rainforests in Geography, I would like you to include some information about this, such as where the jaguars live – you could even include a map.
Here are some useful websites:
https://www.wwf.org.uk/learn/fascinating-facts/jaguars
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/j/jaguar/
See if you can remember how to:
Insert title
Insert text
Change the colour and style of your font
Copy and paste a picture from the internet
If you do not have a computer or laptop, you could find out about the jaguar and then make a poster instead.
