Monday 16^th November 2020

Good morning Year 3. I hope you are all happy and well. I am missing you all and missing being in school but we will see each other soon.

It has made me very happy to see that 25 of you have taken part in the Sumdog challenge that started on Thursday. There is a new challenge starting today so make sure you get involved.

Please keep all of the work that you complete during these 2 weeks and bring it into school when we go back on 24^th November.

Reading

Please read out loud to somebody at home today for 20 minutes. Discuss what you have read and tell somebody what you think is going to happen next.

Spelling

Your spellings for this week all end in ‘–il’

pencil, fossil, nostril pupil, April, gerbil, lentil, evil, basil, stencil

Split your spellings into chunks you can remember and write them out in different colours.

Here is an example: pencil

Times tables

Listen to the times tables song for your x table target. Get up, dance, and sing.

You can listen to all of them if you like.

Writing

1 – Read the Pobble story starter attached to this blog.

2 – The story starter is called ‘Unlikely Friends.’

Make up your own story about unlikely friends, it can be humans or animals – try to think of 2 people or things that you would not expect to be friends. It might be people who speak different languages, people with different jobs, people who come from different parts of the world, people who have different lives (like Chloe and Mr Stink), etc.

Focus on handwriting, spelling, capital letters and full stops.

Try to use some of the good words or sentences from the Pobble story.

3 – Check your spellings, capital letters and full stops when you have finished.

Maths

Attached to this blog are some maths sheets where you will be practising subtraction (taking away). Choose sheet A or B. Sheet A is the easiest. You don’t have to print the sheet, you can write the questions and answers on paper. You only need to do half of the sheet.

If you need help with subtracting, you can draw the first number with base 10 symbols (lines and dots) and then cross out what you are taking away.

There is also a new Sumdog x tables challenge which will end on Wednesday evening.

Friendship week

This week is Friendship Week.

One of the things to celebrate during friendship is that we are all different, unique and special in our own way.

Draw a picture of yourself and then around it, draw or write all of the things that make you unique and special. You might include:

• Things you are good at
• Hobbies
• Family
• The way you look
• Your personality
