Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a nice day yesterday; I am excited to look at your facts about slothsJ. 21 of you so far have started the Sumdog challenge. Some of you have even completed it already – well done. This competition will run until Sunday evening.

Yesterday I had another sushi delivery, listened to some music (not Christmas music), read some of my book and watched Frozen 2. I am saving the last Harry Potter for the weekend. Ms Hodson watched Coco, Disney day for both of us.

Not long to go now until we are back at school, we will spend some time on the first day back looking at all of the work you have been doing at home.

 

Reading

Please read out loud to somebody at home today for 20 minutes.  Talk about your favourite bit so far and why.

 

Spelling

Your new spellings this week do not follow a rule. They are some of the spellings which you need to know by the end of Year 3.

accident, actual, address, answer, appear, arrive, believe, bicycle, breath, breathe

Cut up scraps of paper and write out your spellings, write a different letter on each scrap of paper. Jumble up the letters (like we do with the scrabble letters in class). Ask somebody to call out your spellings and find the letters you need to make each word.

 

Times tables

If you have an iPad, see if you can answer x tables questions quicker than Siri.

Or see if you can answer x tables questions quicker than somebody at home.

 

 

Writing

I would like you to choose your favourite piece of writing from this week.

Improve it by:

  • Checking at least 3 spellings using a dictionary or an online dictionary.
  • Checking that each sentence or name starts with a capital letter.
  • Changing at least 3 words to more exciting words.
  • Checking that you have started your sentences in different ways.

Then I want you to write a neat copy of your work. It should be written in your best joined up handwriting. You can decorate it afterwards if you like. Make sure it is a piece of work that you are really proud of.

 

Maths

Don’t forget to complete the Sumdog challenge that ends on Sunday evening.

Have another go on Hit the Button – hopefully you will be quicker than last time.

Today I would like you to have a look at different measuring equipment you have at home.

Talk to somebody at home about them:

  • What do they measure?
  • What is the unit of measurement? Cm, m, g, kg, ml, l?
  • What is each line or interval worth?

If you can, have a go at using the measuring equipment.

 

Art

Attached to this blog there is step-by-step guide for drawing a sloth. Have a go at following the guide. You don’t need to use squared paper, you can do it on plain paper – I had a go myself, I will show you when we are back at school.

 

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND!!
