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.

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.

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.
