Well done everyone!

Now here are some activities for Monday! Remember, please don't feel you must do them all today; select those you can manage and save others for another time.

Reading;

I have set a 2Do for you on Purple Mash; select either Diamonds; 'Anna and the third leaf' chapter 1 and questions (these books are easier than Emeralds)

OR

Emeralds; 'Animal Boy' chapter 1 and questions 

If you prefer a different text please do select one. Some children may find 'Fire Bolt' texts a little easier or Sapphires for a trickier book.

Literacy;

Today please could you complete the 'Root Words' activity in your grammar text book pg 36. Remember a root word is the original word to which a prefix or suffix is added.

This will help to consolidate the Purple Mash activity the children completed last week.

Maths:

8 questions;

  1. Subtract 200 from 456
  2. 453 plus 228
  3. 34 x 4 
  4. 54 x 5
  5. Add 50 to 428
  6. Subtract 238 from 472
  7. 1/3 of 39
  8. How many angles in an octagon?

Problem;

If I bought 4 ice lollies costing 43p each and an ice cream costing 55p how much will I have spent all together?

Activity;

Let's try solving some problems concerning frequency tables. Have a go at either section A, B or C 

Baking;

At some point this week you might want to try and bake a very tasty chocolate crispie cake with Mum or Dad as a reward for working so hard during 'lockdown'. Once you have done that, I have set a great 2Do on Purple Mash; it's a fun way to create a simple recipe for the chocolate crispie cake; you'll enjoy it! It will help you practise your computing skills too!

Print it out if you can and I can post yours on the blog!!

Have a lovely day and do enjoy your activities tomorrow; Mrs Kendall will be setting you some tasks tomorrow as she and Miss Watkins will be teaching year 4 next year! They are both so lovely! I bet you'll be doing some super activities!

I'll be back in touch on Wednesday!

Miss you all!

See you soon,

Mrs Matthews

Good morning everyone!

Here's another lovely photo gallery before we begin.....

Here's a lovely photo of Jack, showing off his super maths work.

Max's great Mousehole storm.

 

Here's Mia's  super Geography work; comparing Holmfirth with Mousehole.

      

Here's Alfie enjoying a well-earned home made pizza after completing his geography too! Yum!!

      

Here's Arjeta's happy safe place; she's called it 'Sing Hotel'! It sounds great!

      

Here is Laurie's Mousehole storm art; looks great Laurie! Have a look at his super descriptive phrases too!

Here are today's activities for you all.....

P.E.

The choice is yours;

You can join energetic Joe Wicks (as I think it's his last week this week :(     OR

Have fun with Go Noodle; try the 'Blazer Fresh' collection and enjoy creating interesting fun dances (or just select a Go Noodle collection of your choice);

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2YBT7HYqCbbvzu3kKZ3wnw

Maths:

I've set 2 'Mathletics' tasks for you; they are in the 'statistics' section and are both involving interpreting graphs and charts. Have fun but remember to look carefully!

Literacy:

  1. Grammar; Please could you complete the 'consonant/vowel' activity in the 'Early Birds' section; I have set a 2Do for you.
  2. Have another look at 'Mousehole Cat' with Mum or Dad; you could look at the text again or watch the videos on the internet together. Please can you create a story map of the story. We have done these many times before; remember, you think carefully about the main parts of the story and create drawings of those important parts and draw arrows to direct the reader through the main parts. Numbering the drawings helps too. You could also add little captions to tell me what is happening at each stage.

Here's the book;

THE MOUSEHOLE CAT.pdf

Here's part 1 and 2 of the video;

https://vimeo.com/42080367

Unfortunately, part 3 isn't free on the internet so I've not been able to add that for you; hence the pdf of the book is above for you to refer to!! So sorry!!

Reading;

Please can you continue reading either 'Anna's Sports Day' or 'Sleeping Volcano' on Purple Mash. I have set a 2Do for the next chapter and also the questions.

Science:

Today I'd like you to create a health education poster to advise people how to keep their eyes and bodies safe in the sun (that's hoping the weather gets hot and sunny again!!) Make it as colourful and eye-catching as you can.

Here is a powerpoint you might like to look at first.

KEEPING SAFE IN THE SUN.ppt

That's everything for today; I hope you enjoy the activities!

Have a brilliant weekend and I'll be back in touch bright and early Monday morning!!

See you soon,

Mrs Matthews

Hello everyone!

Here's a few photos to begin the day!

     

Here is Alfie working hard on his fitness with Joe Wicks! Here are his fabulous bar graphs too! Thank you too for your wonderful safety poster and Mousehole storm art Alfie..

Here are examples of Mia's hard work too; her wonderful Mousehole storm art and her safety poster. Your maths is always amazing too Mia!

Keep those photos coming everyone; I absolutely love seeing them!

Thursday's jobs for you....

Maths;

8 questions;

These are all divisions; remember to divide by the denominator for the fractions (how many 2's in....., how many 3's in...) and use 'bus stop' for the others. Do let me know if you've forgotten how to do this so I can explain further (hopefully, you'll remember!!)

  1. 1/2 of 46 
  2. 1/2 of 16
  3. 1/3 of 24
  4. 1/4 of 36
  5. 326 divided by 2
  6. 483 divided by 3
  7. 528 divided by 4
  8. 755 divided by 5

Problem;

If I had 168 oranges and wanted to share them out between 8 classes, how many oranges would each class get? (Am I asking you to +, -, x or divide?)

Activity; let's continue with pictograms.

Please can you select section B or C (only select C if you would normally do so, otherwise just do B)

Literacy;

Grammar first;

I've set a 2Do on Purple Mash for you; it's 'The Fox and the Hen' in 'Early Birds'. The activity is asking you to highlight which words are adjectives (describing), which are nouns (names of people, places or objects), adverbs (tell you more about the verb), verbs (doing/action words).

Main activity;

Please can you have another look at 'Mousehole Cat'. 

THE MOUSEHOLE CAT.pdf

Ask Mum or Dad to read right to the end for you today. Discuss the text together; which are your favourite parts? Is the book similar to others you have read or different?

Art:

Have a good look at photos of Mousehole on the internet with Mum or Dad; can you select just one and then take your time and recreate that image yourself? You can use whatever material you like; you could use crayons, paints, pastels or whatever you prefer. Please send me a copy of your photo and your art; I'd love to see them!

Here's a lovely example that Alfie sent me; I'd just love to be there this Summer!

Reading;

I've set a 2Do for you on Purple Mash; choose either chapter 5 of 'Sleeping Volcanoes' OR chapter 2 of 'Anna's Sports Day'. Please answer the questions too; again I've set a 2Do for the questions.

If you don't get chance to do this activity, please enjoy reading to Mum or Dad at some point and ask them to ask you lots of questions!

Enjoy whatever you are reading!

Have a great day and pleeeeeese keep in touch; I love to hear from you all!

See you soon everyone!

Home learning Wednesday 17th June

admin on: Class 3

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Hope you are all OK and still enjoying the better weather and of course having lots of fun!

Here are some activities for today. Please do remember, don't feel over- faced with the amount of work; if you're struggling just select what you think you can manage.

Maths;

8 questions;

  1. 32 divided by 8 (just think of your 8x tables)
  2. 45 divided by 5 (again, think of your 5x tables)
  3. 18 divided by 3 (think of your 3x tables)
  4. 36 divided by 4 (think of your 4x tables)
  5. 423 divided by 3 (bigger number, use bus stop)
  6. 852 divided by 4 (bigger number, use bus stop)
  7. 54 x 10
  8. 760 divided by 10

Problem;

There are 75 tennis balls in the P.E. store outside and there are 27 in the hall storeroom. How many more are in the P.E. store than in the hall? (Think about the calculation it is asking you to do).

Main:

Today I'd like you to create your own PICTOGRAM after your frequency chart. Here's an example;

It shows the sports played by the children in the year 3 classes at that school (a very big school I think!!). Notice the key at the bottom because if the numbers are high each image can represent more than 1, eg it might be 10, it might be 2 etc. Half an image would therefore represent half that number so in this case half a football would stand for 5. Will your images stand for 1 or perhaps 2 or more? It's up to you, but do remember your key!

Choose anything you like to base your frequency chart and pictogram on!

French

Let's look at opinions again, but also use the conjunction 'and' which is 'et' in French.

So;

'J'adore les chats et les chiens'..........translates as I love cats and dogs.

'Je deteste les vaches et les souris'......translates as I don't like cows and mice.

Note the 'et' and also the 's' on the end of the animals because they're plural.

Here are your animals to choose from....

vache (cow)

cochon (pig)

cheval (horse)

tortue (tortoise)

souris (mouse)

lapin (rabbit)

chien (dog)

chat (cat)

lion (lion!!)

tigre (tiger)

Literacy;

Can you change the verbs to the past tense?

  1. We are happy.
  2. He is sad.
  3. I am sorry.
  4. I go everyday.
  5. I keep looking.
  6. I sit at the table.
  7. I am sitting on the floor.
  8. They are singing.

Activity;

Have another look at the start of 'Mousehole Cat'; here's a video of that section too. Yesterday you were creating an image of the rough storm. Today, can you finish it and also add 'adjectives' and 'short descriptive phrases' to describe the storm? Add these to your picture- around the edges or create a separate list if you like, eg 'enormous crashing waves', 'loud rumbling thunder'...

https://vimeo.com/42079212

Geography;

Please could you find some images of Mousehole and some images of Holmfirth and create a simple table; one column for Mousehole and one for Holmfirth. Select images that highlight the similarities or differences.

If you don't have a printer you could draw scenes from each location; again highlighting the differences/similarities.

Enjoy your day and have fun. Do remember not to feel pressured to complete everything all at once; select what you're able to manage.

Keep in touch, even just to let me know how you're doing.

Missing you all!

See you soon,

Mrs Matthews

Hello again Class 3!

Hope you are all enjoying this fabulous sunshine! I arranged for it especially for you all!

Here's a couple of photos first....

      

Laurie working hard on his science and then relaxing in the Peak District. Have a look at those hang gliders!

   

Elijah working hard on his maths! Well done Elijah!

Mia's frequency chart and bar chart! Great job!

Here are the activities I'd like you to try today;

Yoga;

Here's a lovely gentle yoga you may want to try..

Literacy;

1. I've set a grammar 2Do on Purple Mash; it's called 'Word Families' in the 'Early Birds' section of grammar; it involves identifying the root words (the original word before a prefix or suffix is added) or words with a prefix or a suffix added or even both! A prefix is added to the beginning of a 'root word' and a suffix is added to the end of a 'root word', eg autopilot; the root word is pilot and the prefix is auto or 'investment'; the root word is 'invest' and the suffix 'ment'. We have looked at this topic in class before but the children may have forgotten!

2. The next activity is to enjoy listening to an adult read 'Mousehole Cat' to you. Enjoy the sharing the book until the point where the storm arrives. Discuss what the storm would have looked like. Can you draw a colourful  picture of how you imagine the storm would have looked?

THE MOUSEHOLE CAT.pdf

Maths;

8 questions;

  1. 764 + 200
  2. 267 + 300
  3. Subtract 200 from 453
  4. 768 minus 300
  5. 235 plus 30
  6. 563 + 5
  7. Add 40 to 235
  8. 50 greater than 237

Problem:

Max was counting the apples in his apple tree. There were 35 green apples, 27 red apples and 14 were a mixture of red and green. How many apples were there altogether?

Activity;

We have been working on frequency tables and bar graphs. Can you try answering questions about bar graphs. Try the activity below; please do section B (only select section C if B is too easy!)

That's the end of my jobs!!

Enjoy and don't worry if you can't manage everything; do what you can and remember to have fun and enjoy the sun!

Mrs Matthews

Hello, It is Tuesday so Miss H here too! I hope you are all well and starting to enjoy this wonderful weather, long may it continue! 

Computing

I really enjoyed listening to your compositions last week and I had a really good dance on Friday night to the different pieces of music by you and year 2! Because of the success, I have set this for you again this week. Good luck!

PSHE

Here is a PowerPoint all about fire safety.

Recently, there has been a lot of fires being set on purpose and by accident on the moors. This is down to people using disposable BBQs and others playing with matches and lighters. Not only does this damage the environment and the animals and plants that live there, but also it could be harmful to the people involved in extinguishing them. Personally, I find this very upsetting as I live very close to the beautiful Marsden moors. Today, I would like you to create a poster to help protect our environment from fires.

Have a great day!

See you soon,

Mrs Matthews and Miss Hemingway!
