Good morning fabulous year 3!

How are you all? I'm missing you lots and lots! I've been in school for the last 2 days getting all ready for the children coming into school later this week; I really wish class 3 were coming in too. Keep crossing your fingers that one day before the Summer holidays Boris tells us that you can all come in too.

Here's a few fabulous photos sent to me today!

       

Here are Oscar's ingenious outdoor 2D shapes; he's even used snails!! Eeeek!!

       

Here are Mia's very tasty 2D shapes and her table of characteristics; did you eat the marshmallows afterwards? They are so gorgeous!!

Here's just some of Max C's busy work yesterday; well done Max (super editing, maths and spelling)!

Let's look at Wednesday.....

Literacy;

1. First, please could you complete the phonics task? I've created a 2Do on Purple Mash; it's the spelling activity in 'Phonics', 'Phase 5', 'Phase 5 Cloze'; select the sounds ie, ea, oy. This will be a great spelling recap activity.

2. For your main activity please could you have a look at the lovely fictional text below; 'My Hero is You'. Please ask an adult to read it to you and enjoy a lovely story together. I think it's such a lovely recently published online story and a great way of addressing some of the anxieties children may have about the coronavirus. Have a look and see what you think.

After sharing the book, please can you think of a special imaginary safe place you'd like to take yourself and your family or friends. Can you create a colourful and detailed drawing of this special place?

Maths;

  1. 34 x 4
  2. 57 x 3
  3. 35 x 100
  4. 420 divided by 10
  5. 1/2 of 88
  6. 1/3 of 21 (divide by 3)
  7. 1/4 of 36 (divide by 4)
  8. 1/5 of 75 (divide by.....)

Problem; I have 6 faces, 8 vertices, 12 edges and only 2 of my faces are squares. What shape am I?

Activity;

Now you've made lots of 3D shapes you may find this activity a little easier! Some of the shapes are a little tricky so do work with an adult's help if you need it. Remember, there are many different prisms; the most familiar to you is the triangular prism, but there are hexagonal and octagonal etc too. A triangular based pyramid is also called a tetrahedron!

Have a go! Try section A OR B (only select C if A or B are too easy).

Geography;

L.O. To locate the capital cities of the UK and some of the counties.

If you have an atlas can you carefully trace around the outline of the UK? Alternatively, print out an outline from the internet. Using a map of the UK please can you accurately plot the 4 capital cities on your map. Can you then look at the counties (eg Berkshire, Yorkshire) within the UK; now can you use coloured crayons to highlight the largest of the counties; you might select 6 or more, it is up to you. Do label them clearly and try and become familiar with where they are. I might ask you later!!

French;

Today, have a look at 'Duolingo' again and try one of the activities; they are great fun and do improve your French. Choose the beginners version and enjoy!!

Have a great day and do remember that if there is too much work for you please just select what you feel you can achieve, Please contact me if you're struggling with any of the work as I would be more than happy to help.

Please keep your lovely emails coming, even if it is just to let me know how you are!

See you soon,

Mrs Matthews
