Good morning!

We have a very busy week planned this week. We are going to start our new topic of Mythical creatures! We are ao excited to start learning about where they originated from and what stories they are included in. We are going to look at where dragons, unicorns, and the Lock Ness monster come from and what they are. This will include making a wanted poster for the Loch Ness Monster and a fact file all about dragons!

This week’s spellings are focussed around the prefix ‘dis’ having a negative effect on the root word :

In our maths learning, we will be looking at the 8 times table and diving by 8. You can practice your time’s tables and 8 times tables/divides by going on tt rockstars!

Home Learning 8/10/21

Remember Home learning is set on a Friday and should be returned the following Friday if you want it marking. If there is something you don’t get chance to do or forget to do, don’t worry. Keep the book and just collect a home learning slip from the class or check the blog as the home learning is always up on the blog on the day it is handed out.

This week we have been looking at what it means to be from Yorkshire and we even made some yummy Yorkshire puddings. We have also started a new unit of adding 3 digit numbers in maths.

For this week’s home learning, I would like you to use your literacy skills we have learnt this week and design your own recipe for Yorkshire puddings. Don’t forget to include commands, sub headings, bullet points, what you need and ingredients list and the method.

This could be a crazy flavour or the classic flavour we made in class! You can make up the ingredients or look up the exact measurements. Make sure you add lots of colour to your recipe and drawings/pictures of Yorkshire puddings!

There are also new maths challenges on Mangahigh that I have set linked to our maths learning, if you want another home learning challenge!

We have had another busy week of our topic work this week, focussing on computer skills and map work based on Yorkshire, Barnsley and Birdwell.

For this week’s home learning, I would like you to use the persuasive language skills we have learnt in literacy to design your own advert about Barnsley, Yorkshire or Birdwell. You can use the facts you already have about Yorkshire or find some amazing facts about Birdwell or Barnsley and use these in your advert! Remember to make it stand out and try to include questions to make the reader agree with you!

For Example: Can you see why you need to go to brilliant Barnsley?

Don’t you think Yorkshire is amazing?

Do you want to see God’s own county?

This week’s home learning is related to our topic focus this week of the Sheffield based artist Pete McKee. We have been drawing in the style of Pete Mckee and learning about him as an artist.

I would like you to draw the people you live with in the style of Pete McKee. This could be drawing one person or a few people. His style is based on comics so don’t forget to include simple colours in your work.

I have also given you a spelling list for Year 3 for you to practice up to 5 spellings of your choice. You could write these in bubble writing to practice, writing in felt tips or show off some sentences include g the words. This is great practice for you to see and learn the spellings of year 3. (You won’t have a test on the ones you pick, this is just for you to practice some spellings at home).

Have a lovely weekend 😊

This week we have been looking into number lines in our maths work. We have looked into number lines to 100 and 1000!

We also learned about contractions and how important the apostrophe is in a contraction, for example, it is = it’s.

In our topic this week, we have looked at Pete Mckee, the local artist and we have started to learn about his works that can be seen around Sheffield! We will even be drawing our own portrait in the Pete Mckee style.

Home Learning 17/9/21

Wow! What a fantastic start to year 3 we have had. We have jam packed lots of learning into our days and have been very busy. Our home learning this week is based on our new topic ‘Where am I from?’.

Can you find out as many facts about Yorkshire as you can? This includes asking the people you live with about what they know too. Can you write these as sentences in your home learning books? Can you try to include some of your literacy knowledge on expanded noun phrases into your sentences too! (Remember the adjective is before the noun!)

Eg. Yorkshire is famous for yummy Yorkshire puddings.

You can set this home learning out however you like in your books. This can be sentences, a poster on Yorkshire or some bullet point facts with some drawings/pictures!

Home learning is always due in the following Friday. Have a lovely weekend 😊
