Good morning Year 3!

We have made it through another week of home learning. What a wonderful job you are all doing!

Who will be our star of the day?


Here are your activities for today

English 

We are going to use our story plan we made yesterday to write our story today. Remember to include paragraphs and prepositions. If you have jumped ahead and already written your story, you can publish your story today. Like we do in school, you can publish your story with beautiful joined handwriting, paragraphs and an illustration. I can't wait to read your exciting stories!

Look at page 20 to help you. You can use their modelled first paragraph if you like. 


Maths 

Lots of you aren't logging into Times Table Rockstars at home. So, today your maths task is to spend at least 15 minutes on TT Rockstars. Try to challenge yourself to win as many coins as you can. 


Art 

Today we are going to create pointillism art. Pointillism art uses different coloured tiny dots very close together to create a piece of art. For this you will need some paint and the end of a paint brush or cotton bud and paper. 

You can paint a scene from your story. Or, if you prefer you can choose an object in your house to paint. If you are stuck, you could paint a tree like the video below shows.

1. Draw the outline of the objects in your picture lightly with a pencil.
2. Get the end of your brush or cotton bud and dip it into your paint.
3. Gently dap the paint onto your paper to create the dots.

Reading

We are going to finish reading The Worst Witch story today. Follow the link below. Listen to Rachel Riley reading two extracts from the book. Reread extract 2 again focusing on your expression. How will your voice change for each character? Complete activity 3.
