Good morning Year 3,
Well it’s the end of our school year!! Such a shame we didn’t get to spend our last day together, but we are going to have a get together on Google Classroom later to have a bit of an end of year party, share some jokes and play some games. Hope you can make it!!
As well as maths and reading, I’ve put some fun Olympic tasks for you to do. Try to do one, but you can do them all if you want to.
Have fun Y3 and hopefully see you at 11:30

Olympic activities
Option 1
Read the Olympics PowerPoint and design a new medal for the games (see resources)
Option 2
As the games will be hosted in Japan, why not learn to count to ten in Japanese? Watch this clip: Counting from 1 to 10 in Japanese - YouTube
Then create a poster using the Japanese symbols and words to show someone how to count to ten. See resources for some sheets to help you.
Option 3
Read the PowerPoint about the history of the Olympic rings. Then design a poster with the rings in the centre. Make it bright and informative and include at least four facts about the history of the rings.
Option 4
Make a fact file about Japan (see resources). You can use the internet to find the answers. Ask a grown up first.
Option 5
Not related to the Olympics, but you can choose your top 5 jokes or riddles to share at our party later. Make sure you write them down

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
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.

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.

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:

Today we are going to learn all about vertebrates and invertebrates. This is a very scientific way of describing whether living things have a backbone or no backbone. Watch the clip below to find out which is which.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R50Xc1EUHwg
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

Main Activity 40-45 mins
Today, we are going to think about the moment in the story where the little girl meets the Tear Thief. Start by splitting your page in half and drawing a picture of the little girl at the top of one column and the Tear Thief at the top of the other. Then take a look at the list of words (or phrases) that I have included in the resources. Your task today is to sort the words into the right columns (if you are unsure of what some of the words mean, please ask a grown up). Think about this point in the story and a conversation between the characters. How do you think the little girl might feel seeing this mysterious character for the first time? Which words might suit the Little Girl and which might suit the Tear Thief? Some might suit both, so you will need to put them in both columns. Also, if you can think of any words or phrases of your own, then please add them to the list. Tomorrow, we are going to write some dialogue between these two characters so you will need all the ideas from yesterday and today to make your writing on Friday the best that it can possibly be.

I hope you are all well. It was so nice to see so many of you on Google Classroom yesterday. I really enjoyed seeing all your happy faces. Well done for listening so well and joining in with the comprehension questions. You were amazing!
Today, we are going to have a live phonics sessions, so if you’re in Mrs Wibberley’s phonics group then please logon at 11:30 today. Please check Purple Mash as I have sent an email to those children who are in this group as a reminder.

Have some time to practise your new spellings on Spelling Shed. We will have a test on Wednesday as we usually do.
Main Activity 40-45 mins
Re read the start of the Tear Thief (see resources) either to yourself or get an adult to read it to you. Focus on the page where we learn about the different kinds of tears and their colours. Draw the tears described in the book and label them. Also draw a picture next to the tears to show what the feeling word means. Then record the simile (comparison) used in the book. Take a look at the pupil worksheet as I’ve done one for you already. There are five in the book, but not all of them have similes so you will have to make some up yourself.
After that, choose five feelings from the feeling list (see resources) and design some tears to go with those emotions. Think about what colour they would be, draw a picture to show that emotion and come up with a simile to describe the colour by comparing it to something else.
Break time (15 mins)
We normally have break time around now so why not take some time out? Try to get outside and do some exercise or if you can’t do something that you enjoy for a while.

Main Activity 40-45 mins
Today we are going to be learning all about mnemonics. They sound hard, but actually they’re pretty easy once you get the hang of them and pretty helpful too. Watch the clip below and also read the PowerPoint in the resources section which will explain what they are and also gives lots of examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcUoW1ek5zU
Basically, they help us how to remember to spell tricky words by thinking of words that begin with each letter from the tricky word e.g:
B ig
E lephants
F ind
O ranges
R eally
E njoyable
Choose some words that you find tricky to spell and see if you can make mnemonics to help you to remember how to spell them. See the resources for a tricky word list that you might find useful. Make a mnemonics poster to go up in your bedroom to help you to remember to spell some tricky words. Make them bright and colourful and also include pictures to help you remember. I've included some examples in the resources so maybe you could try and change some of those with your own ideas.

Good morning Year 3,
I hope that you are all keeping safe and well. Well done for trying so hard this week, I am really proud of you all. I know learning at home isn’t quite the same as in school. You might find that some days are harder than others. Please don’t feel that you have to complete all of the work that I put on here. Just try your best and do what you can.
We will have our live session today at 11:30 a.m. which will be the time tables test for the 3 times tables and also the division facts. Also have a think about your favourite joke or your favourite thing in the world (it could be a toy, a person, something that you enjoy doing) so that you can share it with your friends.
When using Google Classroom, only log in a couple of minutes before your meeting is due to start. If you are on before your teacher, leave the meeting and try again nearer to the time.

Over the next couple of days, we will be doing some writing about a poem called ‘Life Doesn’t Frighten Me’ by Maya Angelou (see resources). Read it through first of all. What do you notice about it? What do you like about it? What does it make you think about? Then we are going to think of some rhyming pairs. You will need the rhyming dictionary for this (see resources). I have chosen some words that you will need to make rhyming pairs with:
Park
Dream
Door
Bat
Telephone
Zoo
Step 1 make the word above into frightening (or a nonsense) sentence. You could use scary describing words or talk about something/somebody doing something there. In this sort of poem, they don't have to make sense.
E.G A gruesome ghost in a park / or A scary monster hiding in a park.
Step 2 choose a word from the rhyming dictionary to rhyme with the first word and turn that into a scary idea
E.G A goblin hiding in the dark
Draw pictures to illustrate your ideas

Hi Year 3,
I hope that you are all safe and well at home with your families. Many thanks for all the work that you’ve been sending. It’s nice to see how hard you’ve all been working at home. Well done Y3 I am really proud of you.
It was so lovely to see some of you online yesterday. I know that some children had technical issues and weren’t able to join us. Don’t worry as this is a new way of working for all of us and it may take a little while to get it just right. Technology can be a bit tricky and unreliable at times especially when we need it to work! We will have another session today at 11.30a.m so please bring a pencil and something to write with as we will be doing a quiz.

Good morning everyone and welcome to the second day of home learning. Many thanks to those of you who sent work on Purple Mash. It was really nice to hear from you and I’m sure that Mr Moore will love reading the letters.
We are going to try and have our first Google Meet session today at 11.30am for about 20 minutes/30 mins. I’m really looking forward to seeing you all! Don’t worry if you can’t make it today or have any issues logging in, just let me know and I’ll do my best to try and resolve them for you. It’s my first time of using Google Classroom as well so, I have everything crossed that our first meet will be a success!
I have emailed out the logins so check your Purple Mash email inbox. Mr Moore also re-sent all of the information that your parents will need to log you in, in his letter yesterday. Today we will have a quick catch up with each other and go through the rules of how to use Google Classroom sensibly. If you would like to bring your favourite Christmas present from home to share with your friends online then that would be lovely, but you don’t have to.
Remember if you have any questions or problems or you just want to let me know how you are I am available on Purple Mash.

HOME LEARNING 5/1/21
Good morning everyone and Happy New Year!!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families and that Santa brought you lots of exciting things.
I’m so sorry that we’re not going to be together as planned, because I was really looking forward to seeing you all and hearing about what you’ve been up to and I know that you must be really excited about seeing all of your friends again. Unfortunately, at the moment, we have to stay at home to keep one another safe and our families safe as well. Although home learning isn’t quite the same as being in school, it doesn’t mean that our lessons won’t be fun. Don’t worry if you can’t do all of the things that I’ve set. I know that mums and dads are trying to work as well. All that I ask is that you try your best just like you do in school.
For today, all of the learning will be here on the webpage and also on Purple Mash. I will also be emailing (on Purple Mash) logins and reminders of how to access Google classrooms as there will also be some live lessons, but more of that later!

Hi everyone and welcome to our second day of learning at home!! Many thanks to all of you who sent me work on Purple Mash. It was really fun getting to see all that you’ve been doing at home.
As with yesterday, I've put everything that you will need as either a link or in the resources section below. If you do have any issues, please drop me an email as I will be able to get back to you straight away.
On Thursday and Friday afternoon, I am going to set some creative activities to do for Bonfire night and Diwali. As some of these need simple resources e.g. cooking ingredients or simple craft items, I've added them in the resources section today so that you have a little bit of time to organise the things that you will need. If you haven't got any of these items, then fear not, as I will also include other work on those days that does not require things that you might not already have around the house.

Today, we are going to learn all about Kennings poems. These are a type of Norse poem that describes something in two words without naming it e.g:
Ghost
White spooker
Mean scarer
Dream haunter
Vampire
Blood drinker
Neck grabber
Neck biter
So, in order to complete the task, you need to choose an adjective (describing word) or a noun (naming word) and usually a verb (think about what the thing does and then add 'er' to the end).
The PowerPoint below explains them in greater detail and gives lots of examples. Once you get the idea, please write some Kenning poems of your own. There are two tasks to choose from.
Task one: write some 2 word kennings for a range of seasonal nouns. See sheet attached for some ideas. Write the kenning and then draw a little picture next to it to show what it is.
Task two: Split your page into four and choose four different subjects to write longer kennings about. You could choose your own subjects or choose some from the examples below. For each Kenning, try to write at least three lines or if you are feeling really inspired you could write as many lines as you can.
Volcanoes A Pet (dog/cat) Mum Dad baby brother or sister teacher a season e.g. winter Ice cream pizza yourself
I’ve included a planning sheet below as well to help you to write one about yourself.

I’m really sorry that we can’t be together for the first week after half term, but I am going to do my best to make learning at home fun and enjoyable, so get yourself comfy and make sure that you have something to write with: a pen (if you use one in class) or pencil and some paper (your homework books should be fine for this).
We will be following our normal timetable as closely as we can. All the resources and clips that you will need are listed below.
I have also set lots of work on Purple Mash. Please don’t feel as though you have to do all of it, but if you feel like a change there is lots on there and I am sure that you will find something that you will enjoy.
If you need any help, please email me on Purple Mash. Also if you would like to send me any of the brilliant work that you’ve been doing – you can also do that on Purple Mash. Or you just might want to say ‘Hi’ and let me know how you’re feeling – that would be great too!! I’d love to hear from you guys.

Today we are going to learn all about calligrams. These are a kind of one word poem where the writer designs the letters so that they look like what the word means. Click on the video clip below and then look at the PowerPoint in the resources tab at the bottom. These should give you a good idea of what a calligram is and also lots of ideas to help you make your own.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P7UDPec5Gc
So today, I would like you to design some calligrams. Please choose eight words to make into calligrams. You could either choose some words of your own or I have listed some below that you might want to choose from. Have fun, use colours as well. You might want to use bubble letters as these give you lots of space to do the designs inside. These usually look really good if you have spent lots of time on them. I have also included some large words in bubble writing (which you could decorate) just I case you find it difficult to do your own bubble writing.

This afternoon we normally do ICT. So I have set us an ICT task on Purple Mash. Please log on using the passwords which should be in your planners.
I’ve set us a task about simple programming which is fun. Once you open it on Purple Mash, you should see a symbol in the top right hand corner that looks like a play button. Please click on it and the lesson will begin. You will need to click on each of the white tabs. These will show you a short video clip to explain the process. (see resources below for a screen shot to show you what it looks like). Once you have watched them all, you should be ready to do your own programming. Good luck!!!!
Once you have completed the activities, then please have some time on Spelling Shed to practise your spellings. We will have a test on Wednesday as usual.
Well done everyone on completing your first day of home learning. See you all again tomorrow. Take care everyone!!
Welcome to Year 3 !!!
Our lead topic this term is a geography based topic 'What Makes the Earth Angry?' This is a really exciting topic all about volcanoes and fits very nicely with our science based topic 'What do Rocks Tell Us About the Way the Earth was Formed?'. During the topic, we will learn all about what is beneath the ground and different types of rock
Please note that in the event of a school closure home learning will be posted on this web page and also on Purple Mash
