Thursday 7th January

For today’s literacy have a go at some handwriting practise, there is a booklet below which you could have a go at (not all of it!) either by printing it off or by following the instructions on your own paper.  If you have problems getting the booklet then find a book and copy some of the text in your neatest handwriting, remember to really think about the size of your tall letters (b,d,h,l,k) and that your hanging letters are below the line (y,g,p,q).

This should only take about 10-15 minutes.

Next, have a look at this BBC lesson on compound words:

When you have finished have a go at creating  a piece of work that shows everything that you have remembered it could be a picture, a mind map, a leaflet or even an information text.

Literacy

Have a go at practising your reading comprehension skills today, this is something that we focus regularly on in class and during our guided reading sessions.

The link below will take you to a BBC lesson which talks you through understanding texts followed by some activities, you can talk about the answers with your grown up or write them down.

When you are ready have a go at these questions.

Remember…read the information carefully!

Let’s start the morning off with some basic calculations revision.

Good Luck! 🙂

Even though the start of this new year might look different for many of us as part of our PSHE work this week we were planning on thinking about our new year resolutions, it would be lovely if you could draw a picture of yourself in 2021 (maybe put the year at the top of your page like a banner) and all of the things around you that you would like to achieve. We know how creative you all are in Year 3 so can’t wait to see them!

Morning everyone! Here is some literacy work for you to start with:

1. Reading

Make sure that you read something today, it could be your reading book, a book from home, a magazine or something that you find online. Make a note of this in your reading diary.

2. Write about your Christmas

The PowerPoint below goes through everything that you need to include

Tuesday 5th January

If you can’t access the PowerPoint then remember to use full stops and capital letters, try and think of some interesting adjectives to describe. You could draw some pictures to help you organise your writing; think about things that you ate, people that you saw, presents you gave or received and places you went.

Remember you can send your work or photos of your work into the year 3 email address, we would love to hear what you have been up to!

Let’s start the morning off with some basic calculations revision.

WALT: Solve addition sums using the column method

WILF: Place value headings (HTO -Hundreds, Tens & Ones), Biggest number on top, Start in the most right column, carry to the left if needed.

*Note at 3:30 the video states that digits that need to be carried should be placed at the top of the sum. This is the American standard. We carry digits underneath the sum to help keep things easier to read.

Parents, you can find the attached worksheet for this lesson below (with an answers page to help check your child’s understanding).

There is also a link to another extension activity with some more difficult sums with numbers missing. These sums should be approached in the exact same way. Remember, start from the most right column and work to left.

Activity: Column Addition (Higher Ability)

Activity: Column Addition (Lower Ability)

Extension Activity: Column Addition (Missing Numbers)
