Good morning everyone!

Thank you so much for all your superb work this week; I am overwhelmed with how hard you've all been working. Thank you so much for sending all your wonderful photos; they're all brilliant! I'll post them a little later this morning so do keep checking the blog!

Here are your activities for today....

P.E. Have a go at yoga again if you can; it's  great start to the day!

Reading; Spend some special time reading aloud to Mum or Dad or try the comprehension below....

Literacy;

Grammar 1st! Can you add the apostrophe to the correct place in my sentence? 

Here's a tip...

If the sentence is about something belonging to someone the apostrophe comes before the 's' but if it's something belonging to more than one person it comes after the 's'. Don't forget, in a contraction the apostrophe replaces a missing letter.

  1. Ive forgotten my umbrella so Im going to get wet this morning.
  2. Toms coat is soaking.
  3. I went to Grandmas house to deliver shopping.
  4. All the players football boots are muddy.
  5. The teams colours are blue and white.
  6. The boys changing room is on the left and the girls is on the right.

Main activity;

Work with an adult to use 'google maps' and have another look at the photos of Mousehole on the internet.

Can you write a list of any of the interesting features you notice that are different to Holmfirth (this could be physical features or human features, eg tourist attractions, shops etc). How many differences can you find? Are there any similarities?

Maths

Today I'd like you to complete 2 activites on Mathletics; I've set these for you; 'Tallies' and 'Interpreting Tables'.

Can you also keep trying 'Time Tables Rockstars' - it will be brilliant if you can learn as many times tables as you can before you begin Year 4.

Science

I've got another investigation for you today. Your challenge is to find out what happens to the length of a shadow when the distance between the object and the light source changes.

You could make a cardboard shape or figure to use as your object creating a shadow or you could use an object in your home. Remember though that it will need to be opaque so light doesn't travel through it. You will need to place your torch at measured distances from the object and record how long the shadow is at each of the distances eg 10cm, 20cm, 30cm etc. Use a table to record the distance of your torch from the object and the resulting length of your shadow at each distance.

Remember to make a prediction and then see if your results match your prediction!

You will need;

Your object to create the shadow

A ruler

A torch

Paper and pencil

Have fun and do send me some photos!

Have a lovely weekend!

See you all soon,

Mrs Matthews
