Year 3 Wednesday 13th January 2021 Remote Learning

Good morning everyone. We hope that you are ready for another super day of learning. Don’t forget to take photos of your work and send them to us on Purple Mash.

Have you noticed anything about the photos that we have used on the remote learning blogs this week? Thinking about last week’s science lesson, what do you know about the animals we have shown so far? Are they carnivores, omnivores or herbivores? What sort of teeth will they have? Don’t forget to check and think about the photos for the rest of the week.

English

Today in English you are going to make sure that you have completed all of the work on chapters 1 and 2 that has been set so far and then there is some predicting and question work that you are going to be doing.

Remember to work nearly and and carefully and then to send your work to me so that I can see how you get on. See if you can do this through Purple Mash. Thank you. I have so enjoyed reading what you have sent in. You have been such creative Kiki Chameleons. Well done.

I have done a video for you but we are now recording it slightly differently, so today there is a very quick video of me and then I disappear. You should be able to hear my voice but no picture of me, but i am still there so listen carefully.

Good morning children. We hope that you are wide awake and ready for today’s learning.

Maybe you could make yourself a little rainbow and a hot air balloon and move it up as you take your quizzes. Who will be the first to reach their target?

Take a look below and complete today’s lessons.

How to put a photo on Purple Mash

We love seeing all of the work that you have been doing and we really want to be able to mark it carefully and give you feedback so that you can learn even more things. If you watch the little video below you can start to add your own work to Purple Mash so that we can see what you have been doing. (This will also help your grown ups too and help you to become more independent with your learning) First of all you need to take a really good close up photo of your work and make sure that you save it onto your computer or if you are working on a tablet or ipad that it is saved into the photographs. Then just follow the video. (We have done this before in school but not very often, so this video should help if you have forgotten what to do)

English

Today, we are going to practise some of the things that we have already learned in class and we are going to use the Iron Man story to do this. Watch the video below and complete the different activities. Remember to make sure that your writing is really neat and clear and that you use punctuation correctly. Can you be a Creative Kiki Chameleon and make your sentences exciting and imaginative today? (I know that you can!) Don’t forget to try and send me your work on Purple Mash.

But first you can finish reading Chapter 2? - The Return of the Iron Man. Click on the button below. The part that we have already read is in black. The part that you need to read to finish the chapter is in red. Enjoy!

Maths

Let’s get ready for some more marvellous maths, keep being those Sadie Spiders!

RE

Today we are going to start our topic all about Reconciliation. Please make sure that you think carefully about this topic as it will help you to understand the Sacrament of Reconciliation more.

Hopefully you will be able to take this Sacrament soon.

Work through the PDF carefully and complete the activities in your book.

Can you take a photo of your work and upload it to Purple Mash like I have shown you in the little video above? Thank you - that way I can mark it and give you some feedback.

Once you have read the chapter with me you can then look at the next video and see what we are going to be doing today. Remember to make sure that your handwriting is neat and that you include the different features of the writing.

Art

Look on Mrs Curtis’ art page and find out what the art lesson is for this week. (I know some of you managed to complete last week’s art lesson in school and some of you didn’t. You could also have a look at this if you have the time). Don’t forget to send your art work to Mrs. Curtis so that she can post it on the art gallery.
