Good morning Year 3! 

I hope you slept well. Are you ready for another great day of home learning? 

Who will be our star of the day?

Here are your activities for today:

English 

Turn to page 22. We are going to be looking at personification today. Personification is giving an object human characteristics e.g. the slide smiles. The slide is made to sound human. Complete the personification game on page 22 and think of your own examples of personification. Use page 23 to help you. Remember you are trying to bring the park to life!

Reading  

Read another of your new books you chose yesterday from Oxford Owl. If you haven't yet chosen 3 new books, do that today (look back at yesterday's reading task). We are going to be writing a book review. Remember that a book review is your chance to explain why you liked or didn't like the book you read. 

Things to include in your book review:

Title of book

Author

Fiction or Non-fiction

How many stars would you give it out of 5? 

What was the book about?

Who were the characters?

Who would like reading this book? 

Would you recommend it?

Music

We are going to be following 'the beat goes on' to learn body percussion. Body percussion is using your body to make music, no equipment is needed. Watch the tutorial below. Olly (the teacher) will talk you through each step.  I hope you enjoy your second body percussion lesson!

Don't forget to comment below to say hello or email us to let us know how you are. Keep sending in your fab photos to year.3@ctk.education. We love to hear from you!

Have a lovely day,

Miss Kingscote

Good morning Year 3! 

I hope you've had a lovely weekend. What did you get up to? We would love to hear all about it. 

I'm in school today. I will reply to your messages as soon as I can. 

Who will be our star of the day?

Here are your activities:

English 

This week we are continuing with our work on Lockdown poetry. Turn to page 21. We are going to be looking at alliteration today. Remember alliteration is when the first letters of words next to each other are the same or make the same sound. For example, a slippery slide. Read the poem on page 21, can you find any alliteration? Can you think of your own examples of alliteration? Try and link it to the park.

Maths 

We are continuing with our work on measurement. Scroll down and click on the lesson 'measures: ordering mass'. Ignore that it says lesson 1, it's not lesson 1. This follows on from Friday's work. Watch the video and answer the questions.

Reading 

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.

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.

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

Fiction:
Before you read. What do you predict this story will be about?
Summarise the story.
What was your favourite part of the story?
Would you recommend this book to a friend?

Non-fiction:
Before you read. What do you predict this book will be about?
Was your prediction right? What was this book about?
Tell me two things you found out about that you didn't know before.
What does the 'glossary' tell you?



PSHE

Today we are going to be focusing on ourselves. We are going to think about what makes us amazing and why we are special. 

Listen to the story, Giraffe's Can't Dance: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf3OHNUiG4k

Gerald didn't believe in himself at the start of the story, however he soon realised that he was talented. He believed in himself!

Think about all the things that make you special. Ask yourself these questions. 
-What are your talents?
-Why do your friends like to play with you?
-What are you proud of?
-What makes you unique?
-What have you worked hard at? 

You could create a poster about all the things that make you amazing. I can think of so many different things that make each one of you special. 

Please remember to comment below or send us an email to let us know how you are. Also, keep sending in your wonderful photos to year.3@ctk.education 

Have a lovely day, 

Miss Kingscote

Good morning Year 3! 

Happy Friday! I hope you haven't got too soggy with all the rain we've been having. I am sure the sun will come back out soon. 



I wanted to let you know that from Monday, I will be back in school teaching a group of children. I will still set your work every morning and I will be able to reply to your emails. However, I may not reply to you straight away. I will do my best to reply as soon as I can. We will sort out a plan for Zoom. There are only 3 more weeks left of home learning and then we will have our final week in school. I am very excited to see lots of you during that week!

Today we are going to make calligrams. Calligrams are words that are designed to visually represent the word itself. Have a look at the example below. These are all calligrams. For example the word 'split' is split in half and the word 'zigzag' is draw in a zigzag pattern. Your task is to design your own calligrams. You could use the ideas below to help you or you could create your own. Remember to colour them in and make them beautiful. Have fun!
