Year 3 Home Learning Monday 1st February 2021

Date: 31st Jan 2021 @ 4:21pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a nice weekend and enjoyed your learning on Fun Friday, it was nice to hear about your day on Seesaw – I know a lot of you spent a lot of time reading which is fantastic.

Well done for the work you have done so far, I have been very impressed with what I have seen on Seesaw.

If you are finding any 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 writing and Geography.

The Sumdog challenges 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. Reading every day is key.

 

Things that made me smile over the weekend (you could write your own list too)

• I went for a run on Sunday morning and beat my record time woohoo – practice makes perfect J
• I spent a lot of time relaxing and recovering from a busy week – reading, listening to music, doing puzzles, etc.
• I spoke to Ms Hodson on the phone about what a great week we had at school – we were both feeling really happy. It is the children in school and at home that made us happy – you are all amazing.

 

Monday 1^st February 2021

This week is Children’s Mental Health Week.

This year’s theme is Express Yourself. Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas. This could be through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make you feel good.

Each day you will be doing some activities related to Children’s Mental Health Week and hopefully it will help you to feel happy and positive.

Start your day with this music:
