Good morning Year 3!

The sunshine is back today, great news! We are looking forward to seeing lots of you on our zoom call at 11am. Remember to get permission before you can join us. 

Will you be our star of the day?


Get your body moving with GoNoodle this morning. You could choose one you haven't tried before.

Here are your 3 activities for today:

1. English 

Today we are going to review the story and give our opinion. We are going to answer the three questions on page 8, where it says 'what did you think about the story?'. Remember to use 'because' to explain your answer.

Before you answer the questions, reread the story (pages 5 and 6) to refresh your memory.

Complete the quiz to remind yourself of yesterday's lesson. Watch the video and complete the activities.

Watch the video to answer these questions:

What is a fossil?
How is it formed?

If you have play dough, you could make your own dinosaur fossils. If you don't, you could make salt dough with a grown up (follow the link below). Flatten the dough. Press a small toy into the dough.Take off your toy and you should be left with an indent where your toy was. If you have made salt dough, these can be baked and painted (with an adult). Look at the example below for ideas. Or if you prefer, you could draw some dinosaur fossils.

Today's reflection:

It was so lovely to see so many of your smiley faces on zoom today. We had 16 of you join us! I hope you enjoyed seeing your friends and hearing what people have been doing at home. We will organise another one for next week (hopefully it will be easier to hear people). 

Another great day of home learning today. You continue to try your best, persevere when things are hard and challenge yourself. It really is fantastic!

Fidel is our star of the day. Fidel has started to join his handwriting and it looks fabulous! He has also completed his maths and science work today. Keep it up!

 

Here are some photos of your friends working hard.

Great fractions and writing from Maisie. She has challenged herself and completed some Year 4 work at school too. Very impressive!
