History

Today, for history, you have to prove that Vikings were maybe not as bad as everyone says. Not everything we hear about them is true and perhaps there is more to them than bloodthirsty warriors.

Look at the slideshow below where you will find numbered sources of evidence - that prove different things about Vikings.

Look at your statements about Vikings and pick the appropriate source which proves that fact. Write the number in your table.

The answers are below.

You may find it easier to print out the sources so you can look at them all at once and decide which would fit best. Some prove more than one thing about Vikings.

Year 3 Friday 26th June 2020 home learning

Reading

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.

Maths

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.

RE

As we near the end of this RE topic spend some time reflecting on what the Holy Spirit means to you.

Welcome back Year 1!

This week has been so wonderful, for so many reasons. The children returned on Monday, with the biggest smiles on their little faces. Some were a little bit quiet at first, but within no time their giggles, smiles and chatter filled up the classroom! It has been a true gift to watch their faces light up when they have been reunited with friends. They loved sharing their experiences and adventures of learning from home.

I could not have been more excited to teach your children again. I have been blown away with the progress that has been made, particularly with the children’s reading and maths! I cannot thank you enough for all of the learning you have been doing with the children at home. Thank you!

As I could not welcome back all of my lovely year 1’s into my own bubble, some of the children have been having a taster of what it to come, in the Year 2 classroom. Miss Woodend and Mrs Connolly have been so impressed with the children in their bubble and their enthusiasm for growing their brains. Whilst Year 1 have not all been together in the same bubble, they have loved waving to their friends across the field, at break times and grinning to one another when we eat lunch together. This week the children have created their own Mr Men characters, practised partitioning/comparing numbers up to 100 and have loved creating obstacle courses at break times. They have worked their socks off!

I hope you enjoy looking through the photos of the children learning from school and at home! Sadly, some of the children’s photos don’t seem to have successfully copied onto my laptop. I will add them into next weeks montage!

Have a lovely weekend!

Welcome to Thursday’s home learning activities. Have a lovely day.

Reading

Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.

Remember, you should be reading for at least half an hour each day. Also try to read both a range of fiction and non-fiction books.

Day 4:

Watch and listen to the story ‘Stuck’ by clicking the front cover below:

Marvel and gasp at all the things Floyd threw into the tree that got stuck! Can you remember them all at the end of the story? Look back/listen again to check.

Today you are going to write your own version of Stuck. Think about: Who will your main character be? What items will he/she throw into the tree that will get stuck? (Remember to start with everyday things, before your list becomes more imaginative! You can make your list as funny and as quirky as you like!) What will be the last item thrown that will mean the kite comes unstuck? Make a list or series of pictures to act as a plan.

You may choose to use some of Oliver Jeffers’ sentence starters, e.g.
It all began when …
The trouble REALLY began when …
In order to knock down …
You could also use or make comments as he does too, e.g.
This was getting ridiculous!
Unbelievably, that got stuck too!
I’m sure you can guess what happened!

Write your story, checking each sentence as you write. Keep going back and reading your story out loud to check you are happy with it.

Share your story with your family!
