Good morning everyone. We hope that you have enjoyed this week’s learning and you are ready for today’s lessons.
Work hard. Be focused and make sure that you send your work through to us so that we can see what you have been doing. Which learning characters can you be today? Don’t forget to be kind and co-operative with everyone at home too.
Year 3 Class Blog
We have started two new Class blogs just for you children so that you can keep in touch with us and each other while we are all learning differently. They are on Purple Mash. You can put comments on and talk to your teachers and friends you need to
Log on to Purple Mash
Press the sharing tab across the top (it has a globe picture).
Click on the blog called ‘Year 3 Learning 2021’ or the one called “The Iron Man”
To add a comment press on the green and white add button.
Press save and publish.
As always children we need to be safe, sensible and smart online. We are looking forward to talking to you, please feel free to ask us questions if you are unsure about something.
Reading
How is your reading going? What is your progress towards your target? Keep up with your daily 30 minutes of reading (at least!) Has anyone made their own little rainbow display to move yourself up as your reading progresses? We would love to see a photo of them.
There are some children who haven’t taken any quizzes yet, if we can help you in any way please let us know. (Remember to access Accelerated Reader through the orange ‘How to help your child’ button on the main page of our Year 3 blog - scroll down and click on the Accelerated Reading Quiz button.)
Maths
Today we would like you to complete some maths fluency and some IXL.
IXL
Please complete strand J.3 on Year 3 IXL. It is some practise on those subtractions we have been doing as most children find subtracting more of a challenge than adding. Well done to Connor-Sean, Christian and Rosa who have been doing lots of IXL questions already this week. You are little stars!
Fluency
Have a look on Purple Mash and complete the maths fluency sheets on the 2Dos. Click on each 2Do (there are 3 of them - you could do them at intervals throughout the day) and you will see the fluency sheet, just as you would see it in class.
For each sheet ask your grown up to set you a timer for 7 minutes as that is what we do in school, do not worry if you don’t get it all finished. Hopefully you will get more fluent and therefore quicker by the third time. You will need to set them out in your maths book as you will need the squares for the addition and subtraction ones, do this before you set the timer.
To write your answer with the pens on Purple Mash, please make sure that you use a narrow pen width so that your numbers are clear. Make sure that you save them and hand these in, so that we can mark it and give you some feed back.
English
Today in English we are going to have a look at the beginning of chapter 3. We will be reading 2 parts of the text and I have added them on the buttons below if you want to look at them or refer back to the text , although they are both on the video too. Remember to stop the video and complete the independent work. Don’t forget to send photos of your work please.
Science
Today in science we are continuing to look at nutrition and we will be looking at the digestive system. The lesson could be a bit messy today - you might need an adult to help you when you do the experiment part. Enjoy!
I have added the powerpoint below for you but I have also added a PDF version if that is easier for you.
There is also a sheet to complete where you have to label the digestive system. If you go to Purple Mash I have created a 2Do for you to do this. Don’t forget to save and hand it in once you have completed it. Thank you.
