P.E. – Daily workout with Joe Wicks! https://www.youtube.com/thebodycoachtv

Maths – Click on the following link and watch the video of today’s learning, lesson 1 for week 6 – Tenths as decimals https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ Then complete the work below.

English – Spelling:

This week we are looking at the suffix ‘ly‘. Suffix is a group of letters added at the end of the word to make a new word. Adding the -ly suffix to an adjective turns it into an adverb.

For example brave (adjective) + ly (suffix) = bravely (adverb)

Choose the correct word to fill in the gaps.

Remember to keep practising the Year 3/4 words too! You can find them here along with some fun ideas for practising spellings: https://www.lawfordmead.essex.sch.uk/blogs/year3/2020/03/16/spellings/

English – Reading:

Find your reading book, picture book or magazine and spend some time enjoying reading, either to yourself or to a parent. If you finish your book, write a book review: https://www.lawfordmead.essex.sch.uk/blogs/year3/2020/03/16/book-reviews/

German from Frau Lees:

Hallo liebe Kinder!

I hope you enjoyed seeing Felix and Franzi in assembly recently! I also hope you and your families are well and have enjoyed half term. Firstly, a few shout-outs from me for the work you did before the holiday. Well done to Asher in Year 3 for your work on days of the week. Also, well done to these children in Year 4 -to Jay P for a lovely creation of a face which was labelled in German; also to Olivia, Harley, Bethany, Liam A and Sophie. Keep up your brilliant efforts!

Viel Spaß! Have fun!

Frau Lees

Here are your German activities for this week. 

You will be practising numbers, colours and the question “Magst du ….?” (Do you like ….?) with foods and will have chance to practise your speaking skills. You will need: a piece of A4 paper, coloured pens and scissors.

1. Watch this video on how to make a “chatterbox”. Follow the instructions on how to make it. You will be writing slightly different things inside it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpsmrQdN0Do
2. Colour in the four squares each with a different colour (like on the video) and also write in German the colour (eg, rot, blau, gelb, grün, weiß, braun, schwarz, lila, rosa).
3. On the small triangles inside (like on the video) write the numbers 1-8 and then write the German words for those numbers as well (eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht). To make it harder you could use higher numbers if you know them.
4. Underneath the triangles, when you lift them up you are going to write some questions (not like on the video this time). Questions must all start with “Magst du…?” which as you know, means, “Do you like…?”. Here are some example questions to help get you started but you can use any food / drink words you have learnt in German: 
   

Magst du Orangen? (Do you like oranges?) Magst du Vanilleeis? (Do you like vanilla ice cream?) Magst du Erdbeere? (Do you like strawberries?) Magst du Zitronen? (Do you like lemons?) Magst du Ananas? (Do you like pineapple?)
5. How to play:
Ask a sibling or adult to choose a colour – say it in German. Spell out the colour whilst opening the chatterbox to the top and side. Now ask your partner to choose a number (in German). Open out the chatterbox to the top and side and count up to the number they have chosen.  When you finish counting, your partner has to choose another number in German. Open the flap under that number and read out the question underneath. Your partner can answer Ja (yes) or Nein (no) or they could say Ja das ist lecker (Yes that is delicious) or Nein das ist nicht so gut (No that is not good) – or other opinions you have learnt in German.
Finally: Here is a short clip of the panda cubs that were born in September at Berlin Zoo. This shows the first time they venture out. https://www.zoo-berlin.de/de/aktuelles/panda-blog/video/kleine-grosse-pandas-auf-erkundungstour  If you enjoyed this, take a virtual tour of Berlin Zoo here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvxDJx8ku3k and write down all the animals you see. How many of the animals can you say in German? Use an online dictionary or google translate to find out any you don’t know.

Berlin Zoo as seen by a Tourist (2015) I visited the world famous Berlin Zoo (Zoologischer Garten Berlin) in June 2015 and compiled this short video afterwards. I hope it gives you an idea how the Zoo looks like from the perspective of a visitor. The video was shot with Huawei P8. The first song playing in the background is Lee Rosevere’s “Biking in the Park” and the second song is … www.youtube.com

Remember to put all your learning and amazing work on seesaw! Do not forget to put your name on it!

Mrs Dubey and Mrs Phelps

Here is the weekly home learning pack for this week.

The majority of the content is the same as the daily blogs but adapted slightly to avoid the need for external websites.

We are aware that moving from one link to another can be time-consuming for some so by uploading a week’s worth of learning we hope we can provide further support to those families who would prefer this method.

As we have been doing before half term, we shall be posting your weekly timetable here for you to know what your learning will look like throughout the week.

Here is what your learning will look like this week.

Please remember to put your name on your work before uploading it on seesaw.

Mrs Dubey and Mrs Phelps

Just a recap of how you can share your work on seesaw.

This is what you need to do:

1. Download ‘Seesaw Class’ app on a tablet or phone.
2. Select ‘I am a Student’
3. Scan the QR code

To post a picture of your work:

1. Select the green plus at the top of the page
2. Select ‘Photo’, ‘Video’, ‘Drawing’, ‘Note’ or ‘Upload’.
3. When you have uploaded your work, annotate you work with your first name only (if you are able to) and then select the green tick
4. Choose which class you are in and then the green tick again

NOTE TO PARENTS: Children are familiar with SeeSaw as we use it in class.

Things you should know:

1. We have made this secure so no-one else can access your work or pictures.
2. You will not be able to see other children’s work and others cannot see your work.
3. Because it is secure, you will not be able to see your work once you’ve submitted it BUT don’t worry, we will still be able to see it.

We look forward to seeing your work and you enjoying your learning.

Mrs Dubey and Mrs Phelps

English – Creative writing:

Creature from the deep

Story starter

It came from the sea, calmly at first. An enormous, slithering tentacle slowly oozing its way over the top of the sea wall, exploring the metal and concrete shapes with suckers the size of your front door.

Then, as more and more people came, and shrieks and cries of alarm filled the air, the creature became angry. All hell broke loose…

Get a piece of paper and continue the story or write your own!

Computing:

Today we would love you to practice your skills by creating a poster using either Microsoft word (if you have a windows computer), Pages (if you have an apple computer) or you could try out the free version of the app ‘Book Creator‘ if you don’t have access to the others.

Your task is to create a poster about a famous river of your choice.

Some examples are: River Thames, The Nile, Amazon river or the Mississippi river. You may choose any river you like!

Here are your challenges when creating your poster:

1. Create an eye catching title for your poster that includes the river name. (Can you choose an interesting font? Are you going to underline your title or put in in bold? What colour will you choose?)

2. Find at least one photo on the internet that you can copy and paste onto your poster.

3. Find some important information such as: Which country or countries is the river located in? How long is the river? Do any interesting animals live in the river? Are there any other interesting facts about it?

4. Decide how to arrange your facts on your poster to create an easy-to-read layout. Are you going to use bullet points? Are you going to put each fact in a box or other shape? How can you make you poster something people will want to read?

We look forward to seeing your work!

Mrs Phelps and Mrs Dubey

Before I start with today’s shout outs, a big shout out to Freya B for yesterday’s brilliant work. I may have already posted before you uploaded your work. Lovely comprehension work. What a lovely picture of a flower, loved the fact that you used a magnifying glass to study and observe the flower parts carefully! What a scientist! Fantastic. 🙂

Let’s now start with today’s shout outs…

Freya B – Happy to see you having so much fun out in the sun!! I love water fights! 🙂 Appreciate the fact that you were learning whilst having fun, measuring how much force is needed to push water the furthest! 🙂 Lovely maths work on subtraction. Well done for transforming the silly sentences with your lovely adjectives! I liked the word ‘mottled’ you used. The picture of octopus that you drew was amazing! What a star you are! 🙂

Darcey L – Wow! What a yummy looking rainbow you made with skittles! Love it. I am impressed with all the maths and science learning that you have done today on Oak National Academy. 🙂 Keep it up!

Persephonie – Amazing work on tenths! Great job! 🙂

Igor – You have transformed the sick sentences into wonderful sentences!! Fantastic job! 🙂 I loved the words, ‘bulbous ‘and ‘lurking’. Your answers to question time were also brilliant! 🙂 Your maths work was spot on! Great spelling practice too!! Your Lantern was just TOO GOOD! Absolutely beautiful, loved your 8 things that you think are important to be a good person and lead a good life! You are a champ, Igor 🙂

Isaac – What a beautiful lantern you’ve made! It looks so lovely! Fab job at doing all the bitesize activities. Great maths and English work! I liked the word ‘gushing’ you used while changing the silly sentences. Your picture was so good! Great spelling and times table practice! You should be really proud of yourself, Isaac, you are accomplishing so many things every single day. Very proud of you! 🙂

Ella-Rose – Wow! You sure are enjoying the good weather Ella! 🙂 Such lovely rock painting and then planting some seeds, all of this while basking in the sun. You wrote some nice answers to question time in English and your maths work was very good! Keep it up, Ella.

David – Great maths work! You wrote some ‘interesting’ answers to question time. 🙂 Your sentence challenge was spot on!

Sophia – You are such a great mathematician! Loved your work on fractions today, could clearly see your working out. 🙂 Good English work.
