• All pupils have now been given logins for Spelling Shed on www.edshed.com Please check you Dojo messages for these or emails and Facebook messages if you are not on Dojo. Our logins currently work the same on Maths shed too so have a little play around on there too as it is different to TT Rockstars as it isn't just multiplication facts. There's number bonds, addition and subtraction etc.
• We are also asking all pupils to do an e-safety poster this week too using this 5 Tips video on YouTube https://youtu.be/X9Htg8V3eik If you would like to enter the competition, post your photos of these onto our post on the school Facebook

HOME LEARNING - SUMMER TERM 2020

Due to the bank holiday this work can be accessed from Tuesday 14th April. I hope you had a lovely Easter even though it will have been very different to normal.

Literacy

As we do Talk 4 Writing style lessons in the juniors, Year 3 are familiar with the format of this kind of work. I would therefore like you to complete this unit of work on Trolls over the next two weeks, doing one or two activities a day depending on how long they take you. If you don't have a printer at home, try to read the information on the screen and complete using pen and paper, or electronic device if you prefer.  Find it at https://www.talk4writing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Y3-Unit.pdf

In addition, if your child also does Read Write Inc please watch the daily lessons with them. The Year 3 group will need to watch set 3 sound lessons at 10:30 am daily on the Ruth Miskin YouTube channel. Find it at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ

Numeracy

Please use the Hamilton website to find the free home learning packs. Please start with Year 3 - Week 1 (even though you will only need to do 4 days of it.) Find the link to the resources here https://www.hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/learning-home-packs/

Please also carry on practising times tables on TT Rockstars at least 3 times a week.  

PE

If you are feeling sporty and would like to join in, Joe Wicks will be doing online child-friendly fitness sessions daily at 9am Monday - Friday. It's a fantastic way to start the day especially if you can't get outdoors much during this time for exercise. If you miss it live, just visit his Youtube channel to catch up on the workout later on. Find it at https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1

Geography

As we were looking at the country of India before school closed, I would like to challenge pupils to do an open-ended project on this topic. They can present it however they would like and email it to school or send me photos on Dojo. Can they do more research on the places we found out about in the last week of school - the Taj Mahal, the Floating Palace the capital city of Delhi? How could we travel there? How much would it cost? How long would it take? What is the country like? What are its people like? Can you create some pictures to show what you have learned? Or a presentation on Purple Mash? I can't wait to see what you come up with.

You can use the Twinkl website for free school closure activities too if you prefer - using the code UKTWINKLHELPS at www.twinkl.co.uk/offer 

Home Learning - March 2020

In preparation for possible school closures (or for those already absent from school in isolation) please find below a link to our Year 3 Home Learning Project on Ancient Egypt. This project sheet outlines a variety of tasks that can be done at home. Please do as many as you can. You can chose how you wish to undertake these tasks. They can each be done in a variety of ways: pen and paper, typed up or photographed.

*New* Twinkl resource website are also offering free access to parents during this time with the code UKTWINKLHELPS via www.twinkl.co.uk/offer

Our Visit to Sealy 2019

What a fantastic trip Year 3 had to Sealy today, to find out more about the company who are sponsoring our bedtime stories project. The class loved looking round the offices and factory. They met lots of different staff who did a range of roles and enjoyed listening to them tell us about their specific job. We learned about the sewing machines, the springs, the warehouse and so much more. All the staff were so lovely with our inquisitive pupils who asked lots of good questions. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! We even got chance at the end to test out how comfy the beds are!
