Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the nice weather. This is your last week of home learning, how exciting. I can’t wait to see you all very soon 😊

This week we are going to focus on reading, times tables, number facts, handwriting and spelling. This will help when we are all back together next week.

 

Monday 1^st March 2021

Reading

Please read out loud to somebody for 20 minutes.

Tell somebody everything you can about what you have read so far.

 

Spelling

Today I would like you to have another practice of the spellings from last week. You will be tested on them tomorrow.

can’t, didn’t, hasn’t, couldn’t, it’s, wasn’t, doesn’t, mustn’t, I’ll, she’d

 

Write the long date: Monday 1^st March 2021

Write the title: Contractions

You need 3 different coloured pens or pencils.

Write out the part before the apostrophe in one colour.

Write the apostrophe in a different colour.

Write the part after the apostrophe in a different colour.

Like this – can’t

Don’t join up the two letters which have the apostrophe between them.

 

Handwriting

Please watch the video which will be on Seesaw in the morning.

 

Writing:

Write the short date in the margin underneath your story from last week: 01.03.21

 

Today you are going to finish your story all about the rover visiting a planet.

I want you to use your imagination to write about your first day on the planet.

I have attached an example of how you could write the next part of the story, you can use some of the ideas and good words or come up with your own.

Paragraph 1:

Write about the beautiful and amazing things you saw.

Paragraph 2:

Write about a problem or something dangerous that happened.

 

Make your writing amazing by:

Including a simile

Including an exclamation mark

Adding extra information in brackets

Writing a question at the end

 

Please send me a photo of your writing on Seesaw. I will be looking out for perfect spelling and exciting words.

 

Times tables

Tomorrow you are going to be tested on the division facts for the 3x tables.

I would like you to practise dividing by 3 using arrays.

An array is where you arrange things into columns and rows, we use them to help us with our times tables.

I have attached a sheet with questions to practise dividing by 3. The sheet also has some examples of arrays.

Please create arrays for the first 5 questions by:

Drawing shapes in rows of 3.

Complete the rest of the sheet by either using your times tables or drawing arrays.

 

 

Sumdog

Go on Sumdog and complete the following challenges:

Number Challenge: 1^st March – 7^th March

Times Tables Challenge: 1^st March – 7^th March

 

 

Counting

Count out loud in 10s:

From 56 to 156.

From 985 to 1085.

From 312 to 412.

 

 

Number Facts

Write out or tell somebody all the pairs of number which make:

1. 8 e.g.2 + 6
2. 5
3. 7

 

Geography and Fairtrade Fortnight

I found a really interesting fact to share with you all:

If the Amazon rainforest were a country, it would be the ninth biggest in the world!

 

I have attached two posters which tell you why the rainforest is so important.

Read the information and then make a poster about the rainforest, focusing on why it is important.

You could include things about:

Animals

Oxygen

Water

Food

Medicine

Homes

 

Please keep these to bring into school next week 😊

 

Fairtrade Fortnight

Ask your parents to buy food – things like bananas, chocolate and avocados – that are grown in a sustainable way that’s safe for the rainforest environment, wildlife, and people. That goes for bathroom products too, like shampoo, conditioner and soap. If a product has the Rainforest Alliance or Fairtrade logo on it, you know that the farm, forest or company that provided it have created it sustainably!

 

 

 

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.

Don’t forget to go on Sumdog. The new challenges start on Monday. It would be super if the whole class could complete them this week.

 

 

Have a wonderful day, smile lots J
