Year 3 Home Learning Thursday 4th February 2021

Date: 3rd Feb 2021 @ 2:17pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a happy Wednesday and are looking forward to a fun day ahead. I think you will enjoy the writing activity today.

 

PLEASE NOTE: I have left some yellow dictionaries at the school office. These are the same dictionaries that we use in school. You can show the people at home how we use them, and then you can use them to make sure that your spellings are perfect in your writing, just like we do in class.

 

Thursday 4^th 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 song – Get back Up Again:

Title – Can I choose words to use in a policy?

On page 248, Chloe’s mother said she could stand at the next election but would have to change her policies. I would like you to write her new policies for her.

You might want to include things about: homeless, education, health, NHS, jobs, environment, and anything else you can think that would make the world a better place.

Try to use some of the words we found in Mrs Crumb’s old policy – banned, outlawed, deported, introduced, discontinued.

I have attached her old terrible policies to the blog in case you want to have another look. They are on the same PowerPoint as today’s pages.

Here is how I would like you to set out your policy:

VOTE FOR ...

If you vote for me, I will make the world a better and safer place for everybody. Here is a list of my policies:

1. Homeless people to be given shelter, food and water.
2. Plastic wrappers to be discontinued in all supermarkets.

 

Remember:

Perfect spelling

A capital letter at the beginning of each policy and a full stop at the end

Beautiful handwriting

 

To make it even better:

Add extra information to some of your policies using brackets, like this:

2. Plastic wrappers to be discontinued in all supermarkets (plastic is destroying our oceans).

 

Please send me a photo of your policies on Seesaw, I will be looking out for beautifully presented work.

Maths

Today you are going to be practising adding by bridging ten. There is a video on Seesaw which will explain this and show how you can draw an empty number line to complete the questions. We have done this in class before, so it should just be a reminder.

Write the short date – 04.02.21

Write the title – Can I bridge ten to add?

Copy and complete the questions attached to the blog.

The answers are on the same sheet, below the questions.

For an extra challenge if you want to:

Make up your own addition sums and show me how you could use bridging ten to answer them, you could use higher numbers. If you choose to do this, you could send me a video or photo on Seesaw – pretend you are the teacher J

The instructions are on slide 6 of the PowerPoint.

I’d love to see a little video of you saying whether you like or don’t like different pancakes on seesaw!

Bon appétit! Bonne fête!
