Date: 8th Feb 2021 @ 3:24pm
Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a good day on Monday.
We had quite a debate in History about which of the Ancient Egyptian achievements was the most important. We agreed on two in the end – creating their own language and building the pyramids and houses without the machinery and technology we have today.
Well done all of your hard work, I have been very impressed with what I have seen on Seesaw. Today Ms Hodson would love to hear some of you reading on Seesaw – so please send a short video if you can.
Tuesday 9th February 2021
Reading
Please read out loud to somebody for 20 minutes.
Try to use lots of expression and pause where there is a full stop or comma. Ms Hodson would love it if you could record yourself reading your favourite part of your book and send it on Seesaw.
Spelling
Here are your spellings for this week. They are some of the words which you need to know by the end of Year 3.
Read them out loud.
decide, describe, different, difficult, disappear
You will be tested on these spellings on Tuesday 23rd February after Half Term. We have this week to practise them and the Monday after Half Term, you don’t need to worry about them during the holidays.
Write the long date: Tuesday 9th February 2021
Write the title: Spelling Chunks
Write out your spellings in chunks you can remember, sometimes you can find words within your words. Last week we spotted the word pet in competition.
Here is an example:
dis/app/ear
Handwriting
Follow the video on Seesaw to practise your handwriting.
Writing:
Read pages 252 - 260 of Mr Stink attached to this blog.
I would like you to imagine that you are Chloe. You are going to write Mr Stink a thank you letter that he can keep with him wherever he wanders.
Long date: Tuesday 9th February 2021
Title: Can I write a letter?
Here are some ideas to start each paragraph. Try to write at least 3 sentences for each paragraph with different memories and things that Chloe is thankful for:
Dear Mr Stink,
I am writing this letter to you so that …
First of all, I want to say a massive thank you for everything you have done for me. You have…
I will always remember our time together; we had some laughs! I remember when …
I hope that you and Duchess have a great time on your next adventure, and I hope …
Thanks again,
Love from Chloe
Remember:
Perfect spelling
Capital letters and full stops (places and names need capital letters)
Beautiful handwriting
Make it even better by:
Using words from the Mr Stink book
Using commas and exclamation marks
Times tables

Today you are going to answer some arithmetic questions.
There are two videos on Seesaw which will help you with questions 25 and 26, you can also watch previous videos if you need a reminder.
Don’t forget to use a number line to help with question 24.
Don’t forget to use a grid to help with questions 19 and 23.
Don’t forget to look for number bonds to help with question 21.
After watching the videos, set a timer for 20 minutes and complete the questions.
After 20 minutes, check your answers yourself and then use the answer sheet to check.
