Good morning Year 3!

We have made it to the last day of term 5! You have worked so hard during this term despite being at home. Even though our learning is different, you are all trying so hard. We are very proud of you!

Lots of you took part in the art world record attempt yesterday. Did you have fun?



Who will be our star of the day?


Here are your activities for today:

Wake up by joining Joe Wick's on YouTube. Today is fancy dress Friday!

English 

Today we are going to be writing a list poem. Have a look at the example on page 8. We are going to write our own '10 Things in an Explorer's Rucksack'. Try to include alliteration (words starting with the same letter) and interesting adjectives to describe your items. Use the tips on page 8 to help and the planning grid on page 9 to organise your ideas. You could design your rucksack and draw the 10 things in your bag.

Maths 

Today is lesson 5 on angles and shapes. Click on the link below and scroll down to 'revise angles'. Recap yesterday's lesson by completing the quiz, watch the video and complete the activities.

Art 

Today we are going to watch a tutorial to learn how to do bubble writing. Follow the tutorial below. Practise the letters of the alphabet and then you could write your name. Maybe you could make a sign for your bedroom door (check with an adult) or design a card with bubble writing on the front.

Reading 

Today we are going to choose 3 brand new books from the Oxford Owl online library. Follow the link below. Select 'my class login' at the top. Type in the username and password below.

username: christtheking3
password: homelearning

Now you can choose 3 new reading books, remember to choose a mix of non-fiction and fiction. Select the appropriate age group, I would suggest age 7-9 or 6-7. Let us know which book you choose to read today. You can read these over the half term too. 


When you have read your new book today, ask an adult or older sibling to ask you these questions.

Fiction:
What has happened in this story?
What might happen next and why?
What was the most interesting part of the book?

Non-fiction:
What is this book about?
Tell me two things you found out about that you didn't know before.
How does a glossary help us?



Times tables 

Remember to challenge yourself on TT Rockstars today. I will be checking who has logged in this week. 


Don't forget to say hello in the comments below or email us to let us know how you are doing. Remember to send in your lovely photos of the work you've been doing. We love to see them and we can share them with your friends later.

1. Merit
2. Freddie
3. Bernice
4. Fidel
5. Maisie

Our most improved TT Rockstar is Pamodou! Well done to the top 5 and our most improved.

I will link some ideas below if you want some activities to complete over half term to fill your time.


Have a look at the great work your friends have done today.

Fidel is our star of the day. He has written a fantastic poem about his explorer's rucksack, including alliteration and humour. I love it! As well as this, Fidel has completed every task to a fab standard.
 
 
Harley has worked hard on his maths and his poem today. I love your poem too!

 
Calvin's fantastic English and maths work. Well done!

Good morning Year 3!

I hope you are ready for another great day of home learning. The sun is shining again today. Enjoy the sunshine!


Who will be our star of the day?

Here are your activities for today:

Have a go at Cosmic Kids Yoga this morning to start your day. Let me know if you like it.

English 

We are going to be completing a comprehension activity today. Reread the text 'Journey to the Jungle' on page 3. Answer the questions on page 7.

Maths 

Today is lesson 4 on angles and shapes. Follow the link below and scroll down to 'to recognise obtuse and acute angles'. A good way to remember these is 'acute' is said in a small baby mouse voice because they are cute and OBTUSE is said in a loud monster voice because they are BIG (similar to our funny voices for m and mm). 

Watch the video and complete the activities. Don't forget to complete the quiz to recap your knowledge.

Geography 

Today we are going to be finding out about different animals. Follow the link below to the National Geographic website. Select an animal you would like to find out about. There are lots to choose from including tigers, pandas, sharks, penguins and leopards etc. Read through the facts and choose the 5 most interesting facts. You could draw a picture of your animal too.

Reading

Today we are going to listen to Michael Rosen's 'Chocolate Cake' poem for the last time. Our focus today is expression. Can you change your voice to sound like Michael's as you read the poem? Why do you think his expression changes throughout the poem? Think about how Michael feels at different points in the story. Make his excited, satisfied, worried and scared faces to a sibling or in a mirror.
