Monday 4th May

Posted: May 3, 2020 by: Elaine Matthews (EMatthews) on: Class 3

Good morning Year 3!

It is so lovely to be back! I've really missed adding my daily blogs, reading your lovely emails and seeing the fantastic photos of all the wonderful activities you're doing. Hope you are all really fit and well and ready for another busy week!!

Here are the activities for Monday!

09.00.  Why not begin the day with Joe Wicks again? His morning workouts on YouTube are the perfect way to begin the day! Remember to ask the adults to join in too.

10.00 Grammar: Today, let's recap some of our learning in grammar. Work with an adult to have a go at the activity 'Revision 2' which is on page 28 and 29 of your grammar textbook. If you don't have the textbook or a sheet, here is the activity;

    

Here are a few reminders to help you;

Don't forget an 'adverb' tells you more about the verb and many end in 'ly' eg quickly, slowly....

A 'proper noun' is the real name of the person or place and will need a capital letter.

A 'preposition' tells you when an event happened or where it is in relation to something else.

11.00 Comprehension;

Select one of the comprehensions in your pack OR have a go at this one! You may want to write the answers in your book or discuss them orally with an adult instead.

13.00 Maths

8 questions

  1. 8kg 400g – 3kg 200g
  2. How many cm in 5m?
  3. If it is 2:30pm, what time will it be in half an hour?
  4. £5.27 + £1.47
  5. ¼ of 36
  6. 856 divided by 4
  7. 93 x 4
  8. 65 multiplied by 100

Problem:

Tom went to a party at 3:30pm. If he stayed at the party for 1 and a half hours, what time would he be leaving the party?

Extension; What time would this be on a 24 hour clock?

Activity:

L.O. To learn the number of days in each month of the year.

Begin by working with an adult to try and learn the 'Months of the year rhyme'. If it will help, you may want to copy it out.

30 days of September, April, June and November,

All the rest have 31, except February alone,

And that has 28 days clear,

And 29 in a leap year.

*It's also handy to learn that when making a fist and working along the knuckles and the 'dips' whilst saying the months in order from January, the months on the knuckles are those with 31 days!

Now try the activity on page 105 (you will find this in your pack). Try 10 questions in either A or B. 

2.15pm Art

Can you make a piece of artwork using the natural resources in your garden or those you find on a walk? This time, the aim is to create a small scale scene; it may be a forest, woodland or garden scene. When you have collected your items, eg dandelions, daisies, other weeds, leaves, small twigs etc find a flat surface indoors and use a piece of coloured paper/card as your background. Think of your design and create your miniature scene by arranging the natural items you've collected on the paper. You may have tried this on a larger scale, but today try and make it smaller, adding more detail. Take a photo of your design.

Hello, Miss H here! I would just like to say how amazing it has been hearing from you all over these past two weeks! This is just a little goodbye for now but I am still going to be keeping up with how you are getting on through the blog and Mrs Matthews! Remember to look at the school blog for the Lego challenges, last week this week! 

Remember, please don't panic if you are struggling to complete all the activities; select the ones you can complete and try others another time. Most importantly, have fun!

I'm look forwards to hearing how you get on and sharing your photos.

Take care and enjoy your day!

Mrs Matthews
