Hello Year 3!

We have sent home a pack of work for you to complete on Monday 4th January, when we will be having a home learning day after the Christmas holidays.

In the morning, we would like you to complete:

• A spelling task – look, cover, write, check of our spelling words for that week
• A piece of creative writing – look at the picture and write sentences to describe what you can see, hear, think or feel.
• A reading comprehension task – read the text and answer the questions
• Some times tables questions
• Some column addition and subtraction questions

In the afternoon, we would like you to complete:

• A History task – designing your own stone age outfit
• A German task set by Mrs Lees about numbers

If you were not in school on Friday, a copy of the home learning pack can be downloaded here.

Remember to upload your learning to Seesaw – you don’t need to bring your learning packs back into school.

Also on that day, we will have a Year 3 Zoom meeting at 10:20 am to talk about your learning and what you have achieved so far.

What do children put outside their door on the evening of 5th December in Germany? What do they find in the morning? What is Sankt Nikolaus’s helper called?)
