Year 3 Remote learning Tuesday 9th February 2021

Good morning Year 3

Today is Safer Internet Day. It is so important that we know how to keep ourselves safe when we are working online. This is especially important at the moment when we are spending a lot of time online working and trying to keep in touch with our friends. Make sure that you have a go at all of the learning today and keep yourself safe. Enjoy!

Below is the link to the national website for this special day in case you want to find out more.

Reading

How are you doing with your reading? Are you nearly at your target? Keep reading and quizzing so that you can move up the rainbow and reach your 100% target. Can you do it before the end of this week? Keep trying.

Safer internet day

Here is the first of your lessons on using the internet safely. It is called Fact or fiction. At school we are going to start this lesson, but then complete the lesson on Zoom at 9.40 am and return to this later, so that we can fit everything in. Please manage your day to suit you, but be ready at 9.40am to join with everyone together. I am really looking forward to it! Bring your best smiles and be ready to join in with some discussion about the internet.

Safer Internet day

Below is a video of the lesson I will be doing with the children at 9.40 am on Zoom (the one called Passwords, passwords, passwords) .

If your child doesn’t take part in the Zoom then they will need to complete all of this video and the tasks please.

If your child does takes part in the Zoom with us then they will just need to complete the three tasks set towards the end of this video once the Zoom meeting has finished. You may want to fast forward to the explanation of the tasks again.

Task 1 Wooclap, Task 2 2connect on Purple Mash and Task 3 2Blog answering my questions.

BLOG QUESTIONS ARE NOW LIVE ON PURPLE MASH IN THE SHARING TAB.

Note - when trying to show you Task 1 Wooclap on here it didn’t work. Sorry, I have since realised it is because I was trying to do it on the device that I set the activity up on, which it didn’t like. Below the video are some photos of what you will do and what the Wooclap word cloud will look like, please be Sadie Spiders and use these photos to help you complete that task.

THE WOOCLAP PASSWORD NEEDED IS

FAKCTK

TYPE IT INTO THE BOX AT THE TOP AND THEN PRESS GO, IT WILL THEN SAY LET’S VOTE SO YOU CAN ANSWER OUR QUESTION WITH YOUR FRIENDS. TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY I WILL POST OUR WOOCLAP WORD CLOUD SO YOU CAN SEE ALL YOUR ANSWERS. HERE IS A VIDEO OF OUR WOOCLAP WORKING SO FAR.

Thank you children, look at our brilliant Wooclap.

Additional information for Task 1 - Wooclap. See the photos below

You need to

1. Type your answer in to the box and the press the paper aeroplane button which sends your answer in.

Remember the whole class can see this so be kind, appropriate and clear.

2. You can type a few different answers in each, let’s say about three each please children.

If someone else says the same answer as you it will make that word bigger (can you see how the word chocolate was much bigger on my word cloud?) I did that on purpose to show you how it works. Also if you make a spelling mistake, like I did! It doesn’t correct it for you, so be careful.

I told you that you would manage it didn’t I? Five Sadie Spider points to those of you that managed it, well done children and grown ups - you can have five Sadie Spider points too!

“Doing your best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment” – Oprah Winfrey Year 3 5th February 2021

Another super week of learning in Year 3. Well done everyone. You all continue to amaze us with your cheerfulness and enthusiasm. You have all demonstrated so many of the different learning characters this week and we are so proud of you all. We loved sharing all of the learning that you were all proud of in our Zoom meeting on Wednesday. We hope that you all enjoyed the Zoom. We are looking forward to another next week— please note it will be on Tuesday next week.

This week we have finished reading our class novel, the Iron Man. This has generated lots of wonderfully creative ideas and some marvellous writing. You have really blown me away with your creativity. Kiki Chameleon learning points for everyone. Well done. In maths we have been doing some great multiplication. We have sent out login details for TTRockstars via email and Miss Edmondson has created a little video to watch so that you can get started. This is a super program and is used in other classes in the school too. We know that you will really enjoy using it. In RE we have been looking at Reconciliation and thinking about how God calls us to change. These lessons will help us with our preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which the children will hopefully be able to make later on in the year. In Science we have been sorting living things into groups using different criteria. In Geography the children have been very busy creating super leaflets about the local area of St. Annes. Thank you for all of your hard work children. You are little super stars.

This week...

Yet another week crammed full of fun and learning. We kick started the week with the song and story ‘Walking through the Jungle’, as the children are not quite ready to leave learning about wild animals yet. A group of friends then designed and made all the animals mentioned in the song. I have used their display at the start of this blog, isn’t it fabulous? If you want to learn the song at home click here.

We also enjoyed doing the ‘Animal Boogie’, click here to join in! You may need a rest afterwards.

We have started to learn about animals on the farm, although they are not quite as exciting as lions, tigers etc. Everyone decided that we could find out about both categories!

The children have been learning adult and baby names. Watch out for the home learning challenge that will be coming home this week. Good luck.

Click here for Animals and their Babies, Part 2

I’ve also set some Purple Mash activities to do at home. There is a farm pairs game to play with a family member, try and get your sister or brother to play. Next, I have set a Mash Cam picture of a farmer to create, let me know what is happening down on your farm! Mummy or daddy you will have to help with the typing. I can’t wait to see them. Also, if you enter the Mini Mash indoor play room I have pinned some topics to explore. You choose which ones you would like to play. Have fun!

A big thank you and well done to everyone who has completed last weeks challenge.

In our exploration of number five we have got a challenge for the children at home.

In the picture below can the children count:

How many animals are in the grassy green?

How many animals are in the flower meadow?

How many animals in the whole picture?

I think the children will amaze you at their number skills. You ask the questions and then let the children count. I bet some will be able to count the animals in their heads! Wow!

We found some plumbing tubes in the outside store cupboard and the children put them in the sand. Everyone was very inventive and made some kind of machine, ranging from a magnet, binoculars, a fire machine full of hot lava, ouch! Look at the photos below.

It reminds me of a story. The Most Magnificent Thing, click here to listen to it! It’s one of my favourites. Maybe you could make a ‘magnificent thing’ at home this weekend. Send me a photo I would love to see it!

As if we haven’t already done enough this week we have been practicing our letter sounds, playing a memory game and animal pairs. You could try and make the memory game at home. All you will need are some small toys (we used farm animals), a tray and a tea towel. Memorise the things on the tray and then ask a grown up to remove one. Can you say which item is missing?

On Tuesday we found lots of keys; large keys and fairy keys. We thought the fairy keys were for the fairy doors in nursery, but we couldn’t find the right key to unlock the door! So we decided to sort them in to keys that were the same. There were so many of them it took ages!

Here are a collection of all the other activities we have doing at nursery. As you can see learning never stops at nursery!

I am sure you will understand why the children (and staff) are tired when they get home, we are so very busy the whole day long.

Finally, it remains for me to wish everyone a restful weekend, enjoying each others company. Fingers crossed for some sunshine like today so we can go out for a socially distanced walk with our family. Keep safe and I will see you all bright eyed and bushy tailed on Monday.
