Good morning Year 3! 

I hope you slept well and you're ready for a fun-filled Tuesday. A reminder that we are having another Zoom catch up tomorrow at 10am. Remember to get permission to join, if you haven't already.

If you haven't completed your Virtual Summer School Challenge from yesterday, remember you have until Friday to send me your best scores. This week is the 'Around the World' challenge. I look forward to seeing how you got on.

Will you be our star of the day?


Here are your activities:

Our next unit of writing is titled 'Lockdown creative writing'. It's a little different to the previous booklets. Today we are going to focus on page 2, '5 ways to keep yourself amused in Lockdown'. Read their funny example, you can also listen to the audio recording. Think of your 5 best ways to keep yourself entertained. Try and make it funny, if you can.

Today's reflection 

A great day of home learning today. Thank you for all the hard work you continue to put into your home learning. I know how difficult it is working from home and you are making us proud every day! Also, thank you to all the grown ups that are helping too. 

Tomorrow we have a zoom catch up and quiz again at 10am. Please remember to get permission, if you haven't already. Also, when you join the chat, remember to include your name so I can identify who you are. Mrs Miller and I look forward to seeing you then!
