It’s good to know that you are helping around the house and doing little jobs too - Holiie-Rose has been making the beds, Jess has been making potato cakes (yummy). What have you been up to?
Here are the photos for today: - enjoy!!!

Enjoy your learning. Take care and stay safe.
Good morning Year 3 and welcome to another week of Learning from Home.
Here are all of the different challenges that you can dip into over the week.
Please make sure that you try some of them, especially the Reading, Sumdog and Nessy challenges.
Have fun and keep learning. We are so proud of all of your efforts and so grateful for all of the help that your parents are giving you all. Please make sure you say a big “Thank you” to them from all of us in the Year 3 team. We can’t wait to see you all again but in the meantime we love receiving your emails and seeing your lovely photos. If you haven’t been in touch yet please do drop us an email, and maybe a photo or two, so that we know that you are okay.
Have fun with this week’s challenges…
Try to do a PE challenge each day.
PE with Joe Wicks. Yoga (there are some super videos on line). One of Mrs Gregan’s PE challenges for the week. Our outdoor warm up. How many of each station can you do? (Spotty dog… Downward dog running… Push ups… Star jumps) Trampolining. Skip with a skipping rope. Put on some music and have a good dance. Go for a bike ride or a walk or a run. If you have done any other form of exercise don’t forget to tell us about it.
Have a go at some of the maths or spelling challenges that are on Sumdog. Try out some different games.
If you have a Nessy login, please make sure that you are having a go on Nessy each day. (Just 15 minutes a day will really help you.)
Make sure that you are reading each day and having a go at the quizzes on Accelerated Reader. (Please do quizzes on Accelerated Reader even if you are managing to quiz on other websites too. Drop us a quick email to tell us if you have reached your target). Try to be really focused when taking your quizzes so that you can get 100%. Don’t forget that you can read books or ebooks. If you have not yet signed up for Epic Reading and want to do this, just drop us an email and we will get you started. What is your favourite place to read? What is the best book you have read recently? Can you send us a photo of you reading?
This week we would like you to practise the following words. Maybe you could try some of the exciting ways on the Fun Ways to Learn Your Spellings sheet that we sent out a few weeks ago. You might even be able to manage to put some of them in your written work this week.
Maybe you could have a go on some of the Sumdog spelling challenges - lots of your spelling words from the year are included in them.
See if you can make up a very short story that manages to get every one of these spellings into it.
Have fun! (Send them to us if you can!!!)

Don’t forget to keep helping around the house. What jobs can you do this week? Maybe you could make everyone’s bed or load the dishwasher/do the washing up. Maybe you could do some baking - make sure you tidy up afterwards, or maybe you can tidy your bedroom without being asked. Don’t forget to send us a picture of you helping around the home.
Have a go at some of the typing games on Purple Mash. Are you a Sadie Spider and a Lizzie Ladybird? Can you improve on your scores within the set time? Let us know how you get on.
How many different items of furniture can you learn the names of in French? Can you draw some pictures and label them?
This week you might want to have a go at drawing a picture to illustrate part of the story of The House Haunting. Make sure that you read the story section carefully, think about the words that the author has used to describe what is happening and what can be seen. Which part will you choose to illustrate? (Send us your pictures so that we can put them on the class blog.)
Think about how we do our class and children’s liturgies in school.
Make up your own liturgy to share with your family. Think about what your theme will be, what you will look at, what you will read (a bible story), what you will say (a prayer). You might even want everyone to sing a song or hymn.
Keep up the good work everyone, you are all doing a splendid job. Make sure that you remember to thank your mums and dads too. They are doing a fabulous job helping you with all of your work, sending the photos to us and writing lots of lovely emails explaining what you are doing. (Thank you parents this is really appreciated - it’s so important that we can keep that link with the children.) I can’t believe it’s the weekend again after today’s learning. Have fun together and remember to be kind and helpful.
Here are the photos sent to us for today…
Thanks for all of your lovely photos. We love to see them and we are sure that you do too.
Keep up the good work. Remember to make sure that you work neatly and carefully in all of your books. Don’t forget lots of reading too. Targets have been reset - can you reach yours? Let us know when you get there and we can celebrate and reset them. Happy reading!!!! (Let us know the best places to read too - a photo would be great!!)
Thank you for sending us your lovely photos. We love seeing what you are getting up to.

Thank you for all of your lovely photos. We love receiving them and hope that you all like looking at them too.
It’s great to see so much learning going on and to see how much care you are taking when completing all of your work. Remember to keep it neat and to make sure that your handwriting is carefully joined up. We will definitely be giving some pen points out when we get back to school!
Keep up the excellent work, your smiley faces are brightening up our days. It is lovely to see you are embracing the challenges, and making the best of being at home for your learning. I’m sure you are enjoying seeing what your friends have been up to and how well they are getting on with their work.
Really sorry there have been no photos of today’s learning from home posted on our class blog and also that we have not replied to any of your emails, the Lancashire website has been down today and we have not been able to access our emails to get your photos. Hopefully it will be up and running again soon and we will be able to post all of the photos that have not been posted today.
We hope that you have had a lovely day of learning and we look forward to seeing all of your photos as soon as we can.
Keep smiling and doing all of those helpful jobs around the home.
Take care and stay safe.

We’re loving the pictures of your French ice lollies. They look sooooo delicious.

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
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.)
Lots of love and prayers to all of you. Take care and keep safe.
