Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School
The weather has been gloomy this week, where have you curled up out of the rain to read? I wonder if you can manage to read for more than 30 minutes on any day.
Our final chapter, I’m a bit sad that we have got to the end. Enjoy!
See below for today’s video for maths.
Take a look at what Mrs Curtis has planned for you today.
Brilliant news, we have another three children who have met their reading target this week, a big well done to Lexi, Amber and Jacob O.
Read the next chapter and complete the challenges below.

Continue with yesterday’s computing challenges to make your own animation. Mrs Lyons and the Year 3 children at school made this animation yesterday, she used Movie Maker which is available on Windows as we couldn’t get the app needed on school ipads. So if you are in the same position then have a go at Movie Maker instead. I have added lots of children’s animations so you can see how others are getting on, don’t worry if yours isn’t finished yet.
If you have completed it and fancy doing another feel free to send a second one! Children I have been blown away with how amazing your animations are, you have really taken what I taught you and ran with the challenge. I’m so impressed! You are super stars.
Please go all the way to the bottom of the page you don’t want to miss out on any of your friend’s animations. Enjoy!
Mason and James have both met their reading targets, well done boys. Can you meet yours this week? I have created a display board on Purple Mash for you to share your book reviews to, you will find it under the ‘Sharing’ tab at the top. There are book reviews from James, Steph and Olivia already on there. Please feel free to add your own by pressing the share button after you have saved your work, you have a template set for you to complete your book reviews on in your 2dos.
A well done to James who recognised yesterday’s reading quote as one from Dr Seuss, he wins a hug off his family.
Read the next two chapters and then have a go at the challenges. These chapters are sad children. I am trying to make sure we get to the end of the book by the end of this week, so there is a little more reading to do today.

Thank you for the kind comments I have received about this topic, we have created it for the first time to teach to year 3 and it seem lots of the children have really enjoyed it. I think you will like this challenge too, you are going to make your own animation.
Task 1 - Plan out your story.
Task 2 - Photograph and make it into your animation.
See if you can make yours into a proper little animation rather than just a quick demonstration like mine. Watch the video and then click on the button below it for instructions on how to make yours.
This challenge may be completed over the next 2 days so it will give you time to make puppets, lego figures or models if needed.
Mrs Lyons and the children at school made this animation today, which is brilliant so I thought I would show you so you can see another example. See how the image just changes ever so slightly each time?
“Oh the places you’ll go when you read.” Is a famous quote from which author? Email me with your answer. Pick up your latest book and see where it will take you, mine has taken me to Lake Como and Oxford all in one week.

You’re really going to enjoy this challenge Year 3, it would have been lovely to do all together but make the best of it with your family.
I am really pleased to hear that lots of you have really been Sadie Spiders with some of the tricky maths questions last week, keep up that resilience and determination.
There are some great scores with your reading, well done if you have quizzed recently to further your score. There is still a group of children who don’t have a score, as you haven’t done any quizzes in this half term. If that is you, please get busy reading and quizzing! A big well done to Steph for meeting her target and to Isabella for meeting it for a second time this half term.
Click below for today’s lesson. Get that equipment ready! Apologies I tried to squeeze in filming a maths lesson in my lunch time and didn’t quite manage it, so there are 2 parts to today’s lesson. Please make sure you have a go at both of them.
Don’t forget part 2 here.
As we near the end of this RE topic spend some time reflecting on what the Holy Spirit means to you.
How is your reading going this week? Make sure you find time to fit in at least 30 minutes of reading each day.

I have just had a quick look at your Acceleread progress and there are some great scores, three children have made it to the golden 100%. Well done to Max, Lexi and Mason. Keep up the excellent work.
Have fun as you continue the children’s journey into a new land.
You may have noticed that there is no Science today and we have more Geography instead. We have worked so hard with our Science throughout the year and I want to squeeze the last of our Geography in, so enjoy!
How’s your reading going this week? Which book has been your favourite while you have been at home?
Let’s get back into Narnia and see what is happening with the children.
Go and grab some equipment and get ready for today’s fraction work.
Here are your next challenges, have fun!
Hello you little superstars, welcome to this week’s home learning. I hope you have had a lovely weekend and are raring to go!
Please note that as of the 1st July school will no longer be signed up to SumDog, so this is the last full week for you to complete all tasks previously set and try to progress your score.
Epic reading will be changing slightly from the 1st of July, for those of you who signed up you are only able to use it for 2 hours a week. Still plenty of time! Remember, there is still a vast selection on the Acceleread link on the how to help your child section of my learning page, so keep up the great reading work on there too.
Can anyone else get to their reading target this week? We have Isabelle there so far, can you make it to the 100 club with her?
Click below for today’s maths, enjoy.
We have made our way through the Year 3 spelling words thanks to Mrs Nel’s hard work teaching spelling lessons at school, so there is no need for a spelling quiz this week. Plus we need to crack on with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Let’s get reading!
Continue to investigate your local area, please click below.
Keep up the great work with the reading, make the last half term of year 3 your best reading time ever!
What a success this week has been, I have loved seeing how you have taken up the challenges with enthusiasm and creativity - statues for hurdles, mums and dads dragged into your efforts and chants too. Well done children! Enjoy the last day today.
Go and get busy with your maths, enjoy!
Please ask a grown up to quiz you on your spellings.

To continue with last week’s Pentecost challenge I would like you to discuss how Jesus told the Disciples He would send them someone before He died.
What does this tell us about Jesus?
What could we learn from this?

There’s a couple of children getting past the 70% mark on their reading, could they make it to the 100% by the end of the week? I hope you are working hard on your reading and enjoying the chance to go somewhere exciting. My book is set in Italy at the moment, how lovely!
The excitement is building as we near towards the end of sports week, how is your house team getting on? Could you help by joining in? Send them all to Mrs Gregan to take part. It’s not too late!

Apologies on today’s maths, it is safe to say I was having some computer versus brain moments (technology was not my friend for this lesson), so I have had to put the lesson on in two parts. Please ensure you complete both parts, thank you.
Great work last lesson children, I look forward to seeing your work for this.
Can anyone guess where I went for a walk last week? It reminded me a little of Narnia with the abundance of trees. Email me with your answer.

Welcome back to Summer half term 2, we hope you enjoyed your half term holidays and then a great week of Health and Happiness activities. Today we will continue with our home learning in the same format as last half term.
Over the holidays some children took the opportunity to make a voyage into a far away land by reading a book. I went back in time to 1880 and travelled to London as I read my latest book, a bit of a spooky thriller! My favourite spot to read was an old fashioned deck chair in my garden. Where was yours? Mason, Abi and Lexi must have found a quiet place to read as they all met their reading targets. Great work children!
Your new spellings are possession, pressure, purpose, quarter, question and regular. Please spend some time practising them ready for a quiz later in the week.
Our new focus is going to be on the brilliant story of ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, did you guess correctly? Please click below for today’s challenges.
Today we start a new topic ‘Multiplication and division’ and I have tried a new way of working too, below is a video which I would like you to work through. Pause the video when I set you a challenge and work in your maths book as you have been doing.
Here is the link to a game you will need in today’s maths. You may need to copy and paste it into Internet Explorer as I’m afraid it doesn’t open on Google Chrome for me for some reason. Choose the 6 digit whole numbers option on the main screen.
