Good morning all!   It was great fun seeing some of you posting your photos in your school uniforms, we tricked you with an April Fool’s joke.    Sorry!

Today I’d like you to answer the questions about today’s Pobble365 picture.   Then have a go at the Sentence Challenge.    (I think there is something wrong with the story starter as it doesn’t match the picture so just ignore that).

Mrs Foster has sent in a lovely Art challenge based on Picasso’s drawings.  See if you can have a go and post your drawings. 

Good Morning all !

Today I have a special message from Ms Davies and Ms Harris.  They want to make sure you are wearing your school uniforms when you do your school work.  It is NOT allowed to be doing any learning in pyjamas so we need to check you are getting dressed for school every day.  Please post a photo of yourself wearing it by 12pm today.  

Now let’s get on with today’s learning.   Do the Pobble365 questions all about Animal Town.

After that we are going to do some Science.  We are going to find out all about SOIL and what it is made of.  There are some links to follow:  the first link is the longest and most detailed:

The 2nd is shorter but the teacher speaks very quickly!

and the last is very easy to watch and has an activity to do afterwards:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9bbkqt/articles/ztvbk2p

When you have watched all or some of the clips, see if you can answer these questions and publish them in j2e5.

1.  What is soil made from?
2.  How many different types of soil are there and what makes them different?
3. Why do we need soil?
4. CHALLENGE: What do worms do that is important for soil?

Hope you enjoy this task!

Ms Heath

Morning everyone!

I hope you got a chance to see my dog, Doug’s message to you all. (It’s underneath this post if you missed it yesterday.)

This morning I want you to use Pobble 365 but you do NOT have to extend the story or do anything imaginative at all apart from have a go at the questions.

Today I would like you to write another factfile, this time about bees.  Try and use sub-headings to put your facts into groups.  If you can copy and paste some images off the internet as well, even better.  

If you want to, later in the day you could invent a game with a bee theme and play it.  You could find a recipe that uses honey and write it out, or even cook it!  Maybe you can make up a rhyming poem about bees, or make a bee picture or model using junk.

Challenge:   Explain what these sayings mean:

‘The bees knees’

You’ve got a bee in your bonnet.

‘Make a bee line’

Have fun and make sure you are a busy bee!

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you had a relaxing weekend with your family and are ready to do some learning this week.  Just like last week, we are going to use Pobble365 to ‘read’ pictures, answer some questions, using our Destination Reader skills, practise some grammar and write some stories.  Also we shall make another factfile this week.

Today’s picture is called RUMPLESTILTSKIN.    Answer the questions using full sentences and post them using J2e5.

Later today, I want you to practise your ICT skills as we usually have ICT on Mondays.

Click on the JIT button and have an explore of the resources.  You could design a picture and upload it, using all the tools there.  You could make a bar chart or a graph.  Just have a go.

It would also be lovely to hear your voices,  I have been starting to leave an audio message to some of you.  I will leave some more today, if you can, send one back.

Have fun!

from Ms Heath

Good morning parents and children, I hope you’re all excited for another week of online learning. Five more school days until the Easter holidays so let’s make them all count.

I will be setting the maths task daily this week and at times, it may not be Mathletics so it will be important to make sure you log on to J2ewebby to ensure you’re up to date with instructions and directions for your learning.

Year 3 were mid-way through learning ‘length’ so we will be continuing that this week.

Firstly, log on to Expresso Discovery and watch an introduction video to perimeter. There are also some activities/games you can play which can help solidify your understanding.

Username – student21056

Password- malorees

Next, log on to Mathletics and complete the tasks and test set on length and perimeter.  The Mathletics homework will be live till 6pm.

Good luck and enjoy!

Ms Chentouf

Good Morning and a huge well done to all those who have logged in every day to find out about Year 3 learning.  A big well done to the parents too. 

Today I want you to answer the questions on the Pobble365 picture about Superman.

You will have to use your imagination, and don’t forget to answer the questions in full sentences please.

Ms Foster has sent me a lovely Art activity you could do, connected to the Stone Age.  It will probably take you quite a long time, so we can call it homework.   If you don’t have all the materials you need, don’t worry, improvise with things that were going to be thrown away, cardboard packaging etc

Here are the instructions:

Over the weekend I hope you will be doing lots of reading for pleasure and keep up the exercises!  Remember your parents can message us on Class dojo if they need advice.

Good luck!

Good Morning everyone – here is today’s work, Ms Chentouf and Ms Heath are already excited to read the story you are going to write today, based on the Pobble365 picture of the day.

THE HOLE IN THE FENCE.

Read the story starter, and then see if you can continue it, remember all the usual things such as:

Capital letters and full stops

Speech marks (if a character speaks)

Paragraphs to break up the writing

EXCITING word choice – paint a picture with your words!

Handy tip:  jot down a plan first, don’t just start writing, have a think about what is going to happen and then make sure you really try your best to make it exciting and detailed. As this story may be longer than the usual daily task, you could write it on paper and upload pictures of the writing on to class dojo for us to read, or start the story today and finish it for homework over the next few days.  I want this story to be really good so don’t rush it.

Question Time is really fun today too.

AND Buddy Bruno has left you a message and the battles are beginning in Times Table Rockstars.  I will be honest, 3C have scored victories over 3H in the past, now is the time for 3H to start the fight back …

Get learning everyone!

Good Morning everyone!

How is everyone today? I hope you are getting used to doing some learning at home, today we are going to do something a bit different on Pobble365.

The picture is of a possum and her young.  Please find out a little bit about possums and make a factfile instead of doing Question Time.

When you have done that, I want you do some Science.

Our topic is Rocks and Soils at the moment, we are going to learn a little more about that.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9bbkqt

Use the website BBC Bitesize Rocks Soils and Fossils KS2

I want you to focus on:

How are Fossils Made and What Can we Learn From Fossils

Watch both clips and then do the activities online.  If you want you could make pictures of the activities you completed and post them on here.

If you can get outside in a garden, you could make a fossil picture using stones or leaves, or if you wish you could watch the BBC clip all about Mary Anning and write a factfile about her too.  (3H know a bit about that already as it was going to be the theme of our assembly, but you could watch the film again).

Have fun everyone and don’t forget to post your work later.

Good morning Year 3

This morning you are going to use Pobble 365 again.  Once you have googled it and are in you will see today’s picture, it is called MAGIC.

Do the questions in the Question Time section like yesterday, and then try the sentence challenge.

It asks you to choose which word is an adverb.

Remember an adverb tells us more about a verb, and verbs are action words such as running, smiled, clapped, worked.

Try out which word would go with a verb and put it in a sentence under the heading SENTENCE CHALLENGE.

Remember to send your work to us by clicking on j2e5 and pressing publish when you have finished.

Optional IDEAS for  your afternoon:

Draw a picture with the theme of magic and send it in.

Make a list all the books or characters who are magical.   (start reading one!)

Invent a magic trick.      Dress up as someone magical and send the photo to classdojo.

See if there is a song or dance on Gonoodle with the word magic in it and learn the dance.

Invent a magic potion and write the recipe on j25e.
