Week Beginning 13.7.20

Good morning,

What a very strange end to your time in Year 3. Our last week and Mrs Mitchell, Mrs Greenough and myself have hardly seen anyone from our classes. Hopefully, we will see some of you at the transition or Zoom gatherings this week.

R.E. - Look at the Powerpoint - Read the story of Moses

Adult to say: When something catches on fire, eventually it will be burned up. It’ll turn black, and eventually be just ashes. The strangest thing of all about the bush that Moses saw was that it was not burned up by the flames. Imagine what Moses must have thought!
Soon things got even weirder. Suddenly Moses heard God speaking to him through the flames! God told Moses that he was standing on holy ground so he must remove his shoes. Let’s read from God’s Word to hear what else the Lord said to Moses.
Read Exodus 3:9: “The cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go, I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Say: God had a big job for Moses to do!
 

Discuss with an adult: If you were Moses, how do you think you would have responded to God?

Week Beginning 15.6.20

Happy Monday Year 3,

I hope you are all well, keeping busy and helping out at home too. Don't forget, this is strange for your parents too. I have been repotting tomato plants this weekend - in-between the showers - I hope they don't all produce fruit in the same week. I'll have tomatoes coming out of my ears!

Good morning Year 3,

I hope you have had a good couple of days. The Guided reading, GPS and P.E. lessons are all on the post I put on Monday.

For Literacy today, I would like you to look at the letter you have written as if you are Gregory. You need to edit your letter. First of all check for basic punctuation; full stops, capital letters and exclamation mark. Can you use a comma after an adverbial opener or before a conjunction in a complex sentence? Next, choose 2 phrases that you can improve. Maybe use an additional adjective, or a more ambitious verb. Finally, copy out your edited letter using your neatest handwriting. You may like to add an appropriate border to decorate your work.

Have a lovely day.

Monday 18th May

Hello Year 3,

I hope you have had a good weekend. The sun is supposed to shine this week, so make sure you get outside to enjoy some of it.

Today for Literacy I would like you to read the story of Gregory Cool (it's on the Powerpoint). At the end of the story there are some questions for you to discuss with an adult. You do not need to discuss them all. Choose at least 2 from each slide and talk to an adult or older sibling about your thoughts.

Continuing with Direct Speech, I would like you to follow the Grammar Powerpoint and then choose the most appropriate worksheet for you to complete.

Below I have attached a link to The FA with some activities that you may like to take part in for PE. You can send in your achievements to The FA.

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all well and enjoying some of the tasks you are doing in your home learning.

Today's Literacy involves you writing a character description, using some of the skills you have developed from the GPS work completed in the last 2 weeks.

For Guided Reading you need to re-read 'I was a Rat' and decide which is the best summary of each paragraph.

Make sure you get outside for some fresh air and to practise those ball skills I set on Monday.

Mrs Lambley

Tuesday 12th May

Good morning Year 3,

I hope you are all ok today.

In both literacy and guided reading today, you will be making sure you understand the meaning of words and phrases. For Literacy, follow the Powerpoint until you get to slide 6. In your book write the words/phrases from the right hand column and then select which picture matches to its meaning. Draw an appropriate picture in your book next to the meaning. An extract from 'I was a rat' by Philip Pullman will be this week's focus for guided reading. Read the text through once, then on the second reading underline/write down any words/phrases you are not sure of. Use a dictionary if you have one at home, or the internet to find the meaning. Once you have done this read the text for a third time to ensure you understand the details of it.

Enjoy your day.

Mrs Lambley

Tuesday 12th May 2020

Mrs Mitchell :)

Monday 11th May

Good morning everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend, enjoying the sunshine on Friday and Saturday.

This week for PE I would like you to practise some hand-eye coordination skills. If you have a ball - a tennis ball, a football, ping pong ball - I would like you to practise catching it. Stand outside, throw it to someone, up in the air, or bounce it on the ground. What makes a catch successful? Think about the position of your body, how to hold your hands, what you need to do as the ball approaches. Once you have found some consistency in catching it, can you increase the difficulty? Clap, touch your nose, bend down before you catch. Can you make up a routine? Build it up. Start with 3 straight catches, then add difficulty. How many times can you repeat the activity without dropping the ball?

For Literacy, we are going to be looking at the story of Gregory Cool this week. Today you are thinking about holidays or day trips you have been on. See the sheet with today's activity on it.

GPS is about Direct Speech. This is to build on the work we did earlier in the year about how to write speech within a narrative.

Take care

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all well. Remember to contact the school office via email if there is something we can help you with. Today's Literacy focuses on alphabetical order. Everything is explained on the Powerpoint. Who can do the final challenge?

For Guided Reading I would like you to focus on paragraphs 6 and 7 of 'The Vacuum Cleaner'. There are some questions to make you think about the meaning of the text.

Don't forget to try out your PE warm up with members of your family (See Monday's PE task). Listen to their feedback, do you need to change anything?

Have a lovely day.

Hello Year 3,

I hope you are all ok today. I picked some rhubarb yesterday and this afternoon, providing I can get some flour, intend to bake a rhubarb and custard cake Have you have managed to do some baking too?

Today's Literacy task is to edit your explanation text. You should now have at least 3 paragraphs of writing. Go through each one checking for punctuation, (full stops, capital letters, exclamation and question marks). Then highlight any words that you think can be improved on. If you have a thesaurus at home then practise your skills looking up alternative words. If you don't, use an online one.

For Guided Reading you have some questions based on the paragraphs 3 and 4 of The Vacuum Cleaner. You can answer the questions in your book, but remember to write your answers in a full sentence, which includes part of the question.

Wishing you a great day.

Monday 4th May

Good morning everyone,

I hope you have had a nice weekend. I have been on a bike ride this weekend with my family, as well as a walk where we collected some wild garlic. Make sure you look out for what is growing around you when you are outside. The bluebells seem to be in abundance at the moment and the birdsong can be very loud...especially at 5 o'clock in the morning!

Today's Literacy task is to complete the final paragraph of the explanation text. There is also a grammar task (GPS) about prepositions. If you didn't do last week's task, do that before you attempt this one. Choose the most appropriate activity from Classroom Secrets.

For P.E. this week I would like you to put together a warm-up/strengthening programme based on the exercises  you selected last week. The whole exercise activity should last about 6-7 minutes, so think how many times/how long each exercise should be repeated. Record your programme in your books. Try it out with members of your family and tweak it if necessary. Remember you need a mix of leg, abdominal (stomach) and arm activities.

Have a lovely day.

Mrs Lambley

Good Morning Year 3, 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! 

In Maths, this week and next week, we will be learning about decimals and fractions.

Hello Year 3,

If you haven't already realised, today is the last of the literacy activities for this week. I would like you to write the second paragraph of your explanation text. Look at the short Powerpoint, which explains everything. For Guided Reading there are some more questions about The Vacuum Cleaner. Read the whole text again before answering the questions.

Make sure you have written/drawn 3 exercises which work your arm and/or stomach muscles. You should have 6 exercises now, which you will need for next week's P.E. work.

If there is anything you have had difficulty with this week, let me, Mrs Greenough or Mrs Mitchell know by emailing the school office. We will help if we can.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Mrs Lambley

Hello everyone,

I hope you got on ok with yesterday's tasks. Please remember to email the school office if there is something we can help with.

For Literacy today you will be writing the first paragraph of an explanation text. Follow the information in the Powerpoint. Use the WAGOLL to guide your writing, just like we do in class.

For Guided Reading, there is a text to read about a vacuum cleaner. You will then need to answer the questions about paragraph 1. I have left the marks for each question on the sheet, so that you have an idea of how much detail you need to include.

Have a lovely day.

Good morning Year 3,

If you are reading this, then you have already made a great start to the day.

Literacy

Explanation text - Today's task is explained on the Powerpoint. You need to write some questions in your book and then give them to someone else to interview you.

Guided Reading - Re-read the excerpt and decide which is the best summary for each paragraph. Then write the 4 best summaries in your book. 

PE

Remember to take part in PE with Joe Wicks and choose 3 of the exercises which work your leg muscles. Record them in your book. You can draw a diagram of the exercise and give it a name.

Have a lovely day.

Mrs Lambley

Good Morning Year 3,

Hope you found the first Maths activity ok.

In addition to Maths, you will be completing an ICT lesson on branching databases, which is one of our Summer 1 topics.

If you are unable to print out the template to use, you can create a similar version in your books.

Mrs Mitchell :)

Tuesday 21st April

Good morning Year 3. I hope you all got on ok with the tasks yesterday. Today's task for guided reading is written on the prediction sheet. Read the excerpt first and then look at the task. Children in 3LG may remember reading the text last term, but make sure you read it again today. For Literacy, look at the Powerpoint. Read each page carefully and follow the instructions.

Please make sure you are doing some reading each day. You can also listen to David Walliams read one of his short stories https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

Enjoy your day.

Mrs Lambley

Good Morning Year 3 and welcome back.

Hope you all had a safe and lovely Easter.

I will be setting activities in Maths, RE, PSHE, French, Arithmetic and ICT.

Welcome back Year 3. I hope you have had a nice break during the Easter holidays and have managed to enjoy some of the lovely warm days going for a walk with your family.

PE

We would like you to take part in Joe Wicks PE this week (It doesn't have to be live, choose any lessons he has done in the last few weeks.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ). As you are doing the exercises think about which muscles you are working. Keep a record of 3 exercises that work your leg muscles, they may be strengthening or stretching your legs.

Literacy

You have 2 tasks to complete today. I would recommend that you complete the Grammar task first, as this will help you with the Explanation text task.

Grammar - Look at the Powerpoint about Time and Cause Conjunctions. Work through each slide and be creative with your sentences at the end.

Explanation Text - Read the explanation text on the Powerpoint a couple of times. Tell someone what features you can identify. (Hint: If you have completed the grammar work today, there will be lots of things to discuss.) The last slide asks you to write 3 sentences using 'cause' conjunctions.

Saturday 28th March 2020

Well done to Abdullah for achieving 10 out of 10 on his weekly spellings.

Arithmetic scores have improved and remember you can play TTRS at home for free!

Very impressed with how much reading the children are doing, changing their books up to three times a week!

We are drawing closer to our Christmas Production which is looking great so far. Remember to bring in your costumes asap and let your teacher know if you need help with costumes.

Christmas jumper day is on Tuesday and we will be spending Tuesday morning making festive decorations to hang on our gigantic Christmas tree.

School disco is on the 12th Dec 6-7:30pm and the class party is on the 16th Dec.

Have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday

Class 3LG

Week Beg 26.11.19

Congratulations to Daisy who has received 'Star of the Day' this week. Hard work, kindness and contributing to the class really do make a difference.

Congratulations to our new school councillors Seren and Elijah. Mrs Eliis was so impressed with the first meeting last week.

We were fortunate to have Miss Brerton join us for a one week placement. The children have benefitted from her support, especially with reading.

The year 3 production will now take place at Newsome High School, letters with details have been sent home. Please make sure that your child will be available for the after school performance (slip to be returned to school as soon as possible).

3EM Week 3

Can you believe it, we are half way through the 2nd half term? The children are continuing to impress me with their hard work and attitude to learning. We are so close to achieving the 150 mark on the whole class cylinder, just a few counters away from having 1 hour of playing games on laptops.  

We were fortunate to have Miss Surman join us for a one week placement. She enjoyed herself so much, that she will be coming back to join us as a volunteer. A few children were tearful when she left, just shows how much impact you have over a small amount of time. 

As Maths leader, I was so impressed with the children's understanding of multiplying numbers using the grid method. I hope you are ready for division next week! 

Spelling and arithmetic scores are still a focus. Please spend 15 minutes learning spellings and facts with your children so that they can use and apply their knowledge in every day lessons. 

The year 3 production will now take place at Newsome High School, letters with details will be sent home next week. 

Enjoy the extra two days and I will see you all on Tuesday. 

Mrs Mitchell :)

Welcome to Miss Huggett who is on placement from college this week. The children have benefitted from her support, especially with reading.

Congratulations to Aminah, Cassara, Harry, Charlie and Amelia, who have all received 'Star of the Day' during the last couple of weeks. Hard work, kindness and contributing to the class really do make a difference.

We finally got outside this week for PE. Although a little chilly, at least it was dry! Please check that your child has a full PE kit in school, including a sweatshirt and leggings/tracksuit bottoms. The children were developing their football skills and all made progress with dribbling a ball. We  also started a dance theme this week and the children made excellent Roman soldiers preparing for battle.

3EM Week 2

The Black History Month competition work is now up on display in the year 3 corridor. I am so pleased with the effort that went into the project. 

Rehearsals have started and it is looking great! Parents and carers you are in for a treat on Wednesday 11th December. 

Spellings scores have increased and don't forget to practise your times tables. Well done to Sheikhomar and Burhaan for moving onto their 8 times tables.

The boys are half way through to achieving their times table glow in the dark band. 

Congratulations to our new school councillors Mathilda and Tyren. Mrs Eliis was so impressed with the first meeting today. There is a Pudsey Bear colouring in competition. Please bring these in by next Thursday. 

Pride in presentation is a focus and I hope to send more children to see Miss Fraser next week. 

Have a lovely weekend and I will see you all on Monday :) 

Class 3LG Wk Beg 11.11.19

Rehearsals have begun this week for our Christmas production. It is early days, but enthusiasm has been in abundance! Please help your child to learn the lyrics of the songs and if their lines if they have a speaking part.

Children are loving listening to the story of George's Marvellous Medicine, which we are reading whilst Roald Dahl features as our author this term.

In literacy we are looking at newspapers. Please encourage children to have a look at newspaper articles and ask them to identify some features. First News is a newspaper written for children, although articles within the Examiner will also have features we have been looking at too.

3EM Autumn 2 week 1

Wow, what a busy week!

The children have worked hard during assessment week and some children were actually disappointed that it was over!

The Black History Month competition ended today and we had some fantastic efforts. Well done to our two finalists, Evelyn and Mohsin.  

Over half the class achieved full marks in arithmetic but only 3 made the super spellers board. Class counters for

will be awarded for an improvement.

Keep up the hard work!  

Year 3 Wk Beg 4.11.19

On Tuesday children auditioned for our Christmas production. Well done to everyone who had the courage to put themselves forward. Children will know by the end of the week their role in the production.

Assessments are taking place this week. These will help us plan the next steps in Literacy and Numeracy.

3LG Wk Beg 4.11.19

Well done to the children who learnt their spellings during the half term holiday. We had 9 Super Spellers this week, who got full marks!

3EM week 8

The children have completed the first half term and should be proud of themselves.

In honour of Black History Month, the children researched about the famous Alice Coachman, a dedicated and determined high jumper.

We are also holding a competition, where the children can find out information about another famous black leader and present their findings as they wish. The deadline is Friday 8th November 3:15pm. Prizes will be awarded to the best effort made.

Yesterday, the children were rewarded with a cinema experience for achieving 1000 dojos over the half term. After half term, dojos will be replaced with counters to fill a container.

Homework over the half term is to read every day for 15 minutes, learn arithmetic facts and spellings.

Spelling tests will now take place on Fridays.

Have a lovely and safe half term break and we will see you all on Monday 4th November 2019.

3EM week 6

This week the children have been working hard understanding properties of 3D shapes. I was particularly impressed with their attempts of making 3D shapes. Even though this was tricky, they had lots of fun.

13 children achieved full marks on their arithmetic facts test WOW!

In PE the children have been practising how to balance on mats and then onto apparatus. We have a lot of have some flexible athletes!

Next week, the children will be painting Roman designs onto a vase.

At the end of the half term, children will be going home with a copy of the Christmas production script. Auditions will be held after the half term.

3LG Spellings

We had 6 super spellers this week, who got full marks this week. Please practise this week's spellings ready for our test on Monday.

3LG

Congratulations to Elizabeth, Thomas, Charlie, Mackenzie and Ruby for completing some amazing Roman themed homework. 

3EM

week 3

The children now have their username and passwords for TTRS and are ready to compete. Battle of the bands started yesterday and will finish at the end of the Autumn term.

This week, the children have been learning a song, "Just like a Roman". The actions are fun and easy to learn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYdoqFmJf6o

We certainly have some Mathematicians in our class. This week, we have been learning how to add numbers mentally and then using a number line.

In English, the children will be learning how to write a character description, we hope to share those next week.

3EM

It's week 2 and the children are still working really hard.

Well done to those children who achieved 10/10 on the spelling and arithmetic facts!

3EM have already achieved their dojo target of 1000 for the half term reward of a movie and popcorn.

The mosaics are looking fantastic and we should be finished by next week.

Remember Outdoor PE is on Monday and Indoor PE is on Tuesday.

Have a lovely weekend

First week in year 3!

Year 3 have settled into Junior School smoothly. It's clear from their attitude to learning and behaviour that they were more than ready for Junior School.

Well done for remembering to bring in your planners, learning your spellings and arithmetic facts and keeping a log of the books you have been reading at home and at school.

So far, I have seen some amazing pieces of ART/DT work for the Roman Holiday Project. Don't worry, you still have three weeks to enter.

Next week, we hope to have our first ICT lesson, where you will receive a username and password and login details for TTRS.

Keep up the hard work year 3!
