The children will decorate these in school, write their message whilst there, and then leave their pebbles in the community for the public to read, take and share.

Please have a go at using this week strategy to answer the following sums:

85 + 30 = 79 + 50 = 62 + 50 =

71 + 40 = 88 + 40 = 50 + 62 =

Did you notice anything about a couple of these sums?

Below are a few examples from this weeks work to help you…

Geography

Children, your challenge is to create a non-chronological report on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii. You can present your non-chronological report however you choose e.g. in their homework book, on Purple Mash, on a larger piece of paper etc. The more creative the better! Your report should be well structured with an engaging title, subheadings, photos/drawings and bursting with information that makes the reader want to keep reading…not to forget geographical vocabulary! For those children who want to really challenge their brains, can you also include a rhetorical question and conjunctions (when, if, because, although, while, since, until, before, after, so)?

Below are some resources to get you started. Parents, this event was of course devastating and I’m aware that there are photos on the internet that the children may find unsettling. I kindly ask that you monitor their research. Thank you!

You have got two weeks to complete this challenge (23.3.23) and really give it your everything!

Computing

We have continued to practise our touch typing skills. I have re set the task that we were working on together on Wednesday. It needs perseverance and concentration.

Task title: Homework: Home, top and bottom row keys

English - Optional homework

Following our week of celebrating World book day/week in our case. Year 3 have expressed a desire to write (or possibly just illustrate like the original book) a spin off book from the original book, ‘Journey’. They would need to create a story all about the little boy that we met at the end of the book. This boy had a special purple pencil… I wonder what adventure he had been on before meeting ‘Sophie’.

You could complete this using paper and pencils, your homework book, or I have set a 2Do on purple mash if you would prefer to use the computer to create your story.

Year 3 homework to be handed in by Thursday 9th February

Thank you for your wonderful homework last week! Please know that completing homework well with the support and encouragement of loving parents makes all the difference- it build confidence and self belief.

READING -

Reading is always the most important homework - please read with your child every day.

MATHS - Daily practice

Please continue with your daily TT Rock Star! Well done to all those children who are completing this daily - I can see your effort and progress.

Passwords in homework books- display somewhere at home to - thank you!

Computing - Coding

Please find the 2Do which has been set called, ‘Jumping monkey’ follow the steps to create the code and make the monkey reach the banana.

Remember to nest the commands correctly. if you want the command to happen after something else has happened it must be nested inside.

For example below: In the first image, the second command is not nested inside the first command, meaning the timer will start straight away and the monkey will move down after 1 second. Whereas, in the second image these commands are nested inside, meaning the commands will follow in sequence.

Optional Competition set by Mrs Gregan - still time to do this by Monday 6th February

Year 3 homework to be handed in by 2.2.23

READING

Continue to read every night! Please listen to your child’s fluency. It is good to let them read a page twice or even three times- building up their word recognition and really focusing on reading the punctuation - pausing is all the correct places

MATHS - Daily practice

Dear parents we need you help- last week the children were asked to complete 5-10 minutes of TT Rockstars everyday. They need to log on and play in the garage. I have shown them in class. 9 children haven’t been on their account this week. I have had a quiet word with them to explain how important it is to learn these facts and to know that I am able to track their progress. Thank you to everyone who started to make this part of their routine.

Passwords in homework books- display somewhere at home to.

ENGLISH

This week we have read chapter 3 of Ice Cat. Below is a copy of this chapter. I would like you to read this chapter to an adult. When reading please make sure you focus on using the punctuation and pausing when you see a comma or full stop. Start a new sentence with a new tone - its a new mini story. Use commas for a mini pause too.

Parent grade: (are we improving the following…)

1. reading each word correctly and accurately

2. reading in an interesting voice

3. reading at a decent pace - not too fast or slow.

4. Ability to use punctuation

Once you have done this, just like last week, can you summaries what happened in this chapter in 1 or 2 sentences. We will share these next week.

SCIENCE

Find out who was the inventor(s) of electricity. Tell me a little bit about their early life. Can you find out as much information as you can about how their invention came about. How did their invention effect or change our world? We will share our findings next week.

ONLINE SAFETY- EXCITING CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY!

Year 3 homework to be handed in on 26.1.23

READING

Readig take priority - as always. Please read daily with your child.

COMPUTING

This week we have continued our learning of coding. We have set you the 2Do, ‘Magician’. To complete this activity you must follow each step, carefully listening to the short videos at the start of each task. Remember that if you are still stuck you can use the HINT button to give you more help.

One of our new words in computing this week was, NESTED. We soon realised how important it is to make sure we nested our commands together so that they ran in the correct order. You will need to be mindful of this when you complete this challenge at home:

ENGLISH

Along with discovering our reading brains, we also looked at how to summerise and did this after reading Chapter 1. In your homework book we would like you to have a go at summarising Chapter 2. Remember to do this correctly, your summery must only be one or two sentences long. It must include only the key information about this chapter.

What was the point to this chapter? What did we find out? Can you make your sentence/s into complex a sentence/s by adding: when, if, because, although, while, since, until, before, after, so?

MATHS

TT Rock stars!!!

I would like the children to complete TT Rock Stars everyday for 5 - 10 minutes. Could you please organise a time in the day when they have to complete their “TT - time”. It could be after breakfast - great for getting your brain going. TT Rockstars systematically and intuitively interacts with the user as they learn their multiplication and division facts off by heart!! I am able to see how much daily time was spent on the program and each child has a heat map in the teacher’s dashboard. This heat map displays each fact in a different colour- red for the facts they don’t know yet - then it turns orange then yellow then green the quicker they become. Eventually they become a Rock Legend!!

SPELLING
