Main Activity 40-45 mins

Today, we are going to do something a little bit different. After last week’s lesson about writing to a pen pal, some of you have been asking about how to write to a pen pal. In Yr3, we have a class charity called Post Pals where you can write to another child. The children on the site are usually unwell and spending long periods in hospital. Writing to someone like that will really cheer them up. Please watch this clip and I will explain everything:

English 29/1 Letter to a Post Pals - YouTube

This link will take you to the main site

https://www.postpals.co.uk/

This link will show you a list of Post Pals that you can choose from. It will also give you an address so that you can write them a real letter.

http://www.postpals.co.uk/find-pals/

Today’s task is to choose a Post Pal and write them a letter. It will be similar to the one that you wrote last week to your imaginary Lonely Beast, but this time it will be about you and it will be helping someone who needs cheering up.

Remember to:

• Put your name and address on the top right
• Leave a line
• Write today’s date
• Leave a line
• On the right, write Dear and your pen pals name
• Write an opening paragraph to introduce yourself and say why you’re writing
• Write a paragraph about yourself and your life.
• Write a final paragraph of encouragement (what hopeful message would you like to hear if you were in hospital?)
• Leave a line and write an informal sign off e.g. best wishes, kind regards,

Untitled: Feb 25, 2021 7:54 AM - YouTube

Today I would like you to imagine that you’re a different Lonely Beast than yesterday and that you’re writing to the Lonely Beast in our story to ask him to be your friend. Remember in a letter you need to:

• Write a final paragraph to ask him some questions
• Leave a line and write an informal sign off e.g. Best Wishes, Kind Regards, Lots of Love

I have put an example of what a good letter looks like in the resources so make sure that you read that first. You might also want to draw the flag of the country that you have chosen your new Lonely Beast to come from (just like in the example letter) and also find out how to say 'hello' in that country.

• Use some similes i.e. compare something to something else using like or as e.g. five dragon’s teeth as sharp as a knives.
• Use some alliteration i.e. words next to one another which begin with the same letter e.g. a dazzling diamond as bright as the stars in the night sky.

Times Tables

On Friday this week, we are going to have a times tables test as part of our live session. This week we will have a test for the division facts for the 8x tables. You will need to know them up to the 12x. You will need to know them as facts (without much time to think about it). Good ways to do this is are:

• Get a grown up to test you
• Chant them to yourself
• Make a song up about them
• Write them down
• Make a bright poster to go in your bedroom
• Play a game to help you learn them:

Science

This term, we are going to carry on with our topic about the human body and being healthy. This lesson, we are going to learn about three new scientific words: Endoskeletons, Exoskeletons and Hydrostatic. These give us new ways of sorting invertebrates and vertibrates. Read the PowerPoint and complete the worksheet.

Well done everyone for trying so hard today. See you all very soon

Good morning Year 3,

Wow, it’s our last day of home learning before half term Year 3. We have completed nearly six weeks of lessons at home!!! I know that learning at home isn’t quite as much fun or quite as easy as it is at school, but me , Mrs Wibberley and Mrs Lyth are really proud of how hard you have tried this half term and how grown up you have all been. Very well done Y3.

I’m sorry that the afternoon reading group didn’t go ahead as planned yesterday. We were having some internet problems in school with so many live sessions going on. Hopefully, we won’t have these problems today. The session has moved to 2:00. Hope that’s okay.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all at 9:30 tomorrow for our live session. Don’t forget it’s our times tables test tomorrow as well and if you would like to bring something to show and tell for the 11:30 slot that would be great.

Main Activity 40-45 mins

Tomorrow we are going to write a recipe. It can be for a medicine, a potion (either good or bad) or a spell (either good or bad).

Today, there are two activities to complete:

Firstly, I would like you to make an ingredient list for your idea. If you did the reading activity last week, you might already have some ideas which you may want to improve or change. Perhaps you could change them by making the ingredients have opposite effect (so if your medicine ingredients were bad last week maybe you could make them good this week). Another way to improve them is to use some quantity words or phrases (see resources). Choose between 5 and 10 ingredients, draw them and also use a quantity word or phrase.

Secondly, in the resources section I have included some recipes. Please read some of them and see if you can spot any of the verbs and nouns that we spotted yesterday. Also look carefully at how they are set out. Please circle/spot the following features:

• Title
• Subheadings
• Also often in the ingredients section they use (abbreviations) for the amounts to make the words smaller. Can you spot any in the recipes and work out what they mean using the word bank?

Once you have done that, split your page into two. Label one side vertebrate and the other invertebrate. Choose 5 of each. Draw and label them. There is an extra sheet in resources to help you with creature ideas. If you’re not sure whether the creature is vertebrate or invertebrate then you could use Google to find out by typing in one of the following questions:

Does (name of animal) have a backbone?

Is (name of animal) a vertebrate/invertebrate
