Good morning fabulous year 3!

As yesterday was such a busy day, let's make today a little bit more fun!! First though, I'd like to show you the lovely photo Charlie and his Mum sent me of his fabulous natural art work yesterday. He collected a range of natural resources and created a super piece of art. If you haven't had chance to do yours yet, do have a go and send me a photo.

Here are your activities for this morning;

Music

On Friday it is the 75th anniversary of VE Day. In the evening, the nation is going to do a sing-a-long to the song by Dame Vera Lynn We'll Meet Again. For music today, I would like you to learn the words in preparation so you can join in with everyone. The words are here. Also, here is a link to an audio clip of the song. Good luck!

Can you make one of the tasks that Dan Snow suggests? Don't worry about submitting it to them, just send it to us instead! 

Computing

Last week we started looking at simulations and you researched what they were. This week, I would like you to at a simulation on PurpleMash. Click on the 2Do I have set then choose the Locked Out simulation (The green keys). Go through the simulation, choosing the correct solutions by clicking on the characters and making decisions. Discuss these decision with the people at home, would they make the same choices? 

Maths:

8 questions (let's practise addition and subtraction)

1. 346 + 218
2. 547 + 224
3. 446 more than 335
4. 223 less than 675
5. 629 - 273
6. Find the difference between 38 and 29
7. 539 plus 238
8. Subtract 338 from 762

Problem: Millie's birthday was on the 31st of the month. She can't remember which month it was. Which months could it have been?

Activity;

L.O. To record the time in minutes and seconds.

Today, I'd like you to use a stop watch to time people in your family doing activities.

These are some examples of the activities that you could time them doing;

1. Getting dressed.
2. Brushing their teeth.
3. Setting the table.
4. Tidying their bedroom.
5. Clearing the table after lunch/tea
6. Preparing a meal.
7. Doing 20 star jumps.
8. Running 10 times around the garden.

You could time 2 people doing the activities (one at a time) and display your results in a simple table. If you timed 2 different people you could tell me who was the quickest at each activity.

Remember, you can choose different activities if you like. I just thought these might be helpful ones for Mum or Dad!!

English;

L.O. To use a dictionary to find the meaning of a word or check the spelling.

Today I'd like you to practise locating words in a dictionary. It is helpful to be able to confidently do this so you can check the correct spelling of a word or check the meaning of a word.

Here is the list of words. Please make a simple table in your book (don't forget your ruler); one column for the word, one for the page number you located it on and then one for the meaning of the word (as listed in the dictionary). Please use a dictionary rather than the computer so you are developing your dictionary skills! No cheating!!!

1. Pollen
2. Photosynthesis
3. Germination
4. Stigma
5. Deciduous
6. Fertilizer
7. Petal
8. Reflect
9. Illuminate
10. Shadow

These may be tricky to find so do work with an adult as you search for the words.

Please remember to email me so I can see how you're getting on and please keep sending me your fabulous photos. It's so lovely to see them and share them with the class. Have lots of fun and please remember if the work is proving too much do select the amount you can cope with. If you have any problems at all please just let me know via email (class3@netherthongprimary.co.uk).

Thank you so much for all your hard work,

Mrs Matthews
