Good Morning Year 3..
Welcome to an exciting new way of learning!
It will seem very strange to be learning at home. Don’t forget to explain to your parents what you are learning.
Is very important to stay focused and be excellent learners - just like you are at school! Try to be like all the learning characters and you will become such an independent learner..
It would help you if you get into a routine and decide what times of day you are carrying out your home learning and weekly challenges.
How home learning will work.
DAILY LEARNING: Every day at 8.00am , we will post your new daily learning which will involve key skills for Maths, English and other subjects. Much of it will be based on the lessons we were going to do in class. This will be in the home learning section of the Year 3 website. So, bright and early each morning - check this and get going!
Children who do the Nessy program at home - please keep this up every day. Remember to do at least 15 minutes every day, more if you can. (Can you be this week’s Nessy Star?)
We will also put some ideas for weekly challenges on this blog here. Try and have a go at some of these
Weekly challenges for week beginning Monday 23rd March
If you were in school on Friday and made a rainbow, please make sure that you put your rainbow in a window somewhere where it can be seen. Many people around the country are putting a rainbow in their window to spread hope to everyone - children can spot them if they are out walking. If you weren’t in school on Friday you might want to draw a rainbow and pop it in a window. To be a little different, you could even make one out of lego and place it in your window at home for all to see.
Think about your Lenten Promise and try to make sure that you keep up with this. Remember to keep doing your jobs at home, helping around the house and doing what you can to make things a little easier for everyone. Remember to keep being generous and grateful.
Try to do some sort of daily exercise. This might be a walk, a jog, an obstacle course around the garden, some yoga or even a dance (put on some music and enjoy dancing). Try to do something different every day. You could even warm up with the warm ups that we have been doing outside - 1 - Spotty dog. 2 - Down dog running. 3 - Press ups. 4 - Star jumps.
Read every day. 30 minutes (or more) a day would be a good challenge. Why not look for new or great vocabulary and find out what it means or create your own ‘magpie book’ to share with us all when we get back. You could even share it on the Purple Mash blog that has been set up.
Why not help in the kitchen and learn how to make something to eat. This week we challenge you to make some sandwiches for everyone to share. Think about what you will put in them to make them tasty and healthy. Remember to wash your hands and to be very careful if you are using a sharp knife. Enjoy! (You could always send an email with a photo and we can share some of these on our page.)
Have fun learning at home and remember to keep in touch.
Lots of love and prayers to all of you. Take care and keep safe.
