Wembley Central (Year 3)

Welcome to Year 3! 

Message to parents 21.5.20

 

Dear all,

 

Next week is half term and so I hope you all have a well earned break from school work.  I would love to hear about the things you have done upon our return.  The children, as always, can email me via Purple Mash.  Some of the home school work I have seen so far has been excellent - thank you for all your hard work.  Please look at the examples below.  Remember it is not too late to complete these activities if you haven't already. 

 

From Monday June 1st school will begin to reopen for some year groups.  Whilst, for now, this will not include Year 3, I will be in school on several days teaching the groups of children that are in.  As I am sure you will understand this will make it impossible for me to set and reply to work online on a daily basis in addition to full school days. 

 

As a school we are still committed to online learning so, as a solution, I am directing parents to BBC Skillswise.  This is an excellent resource which provides age appropriate daily lessons across all subjects. You might want to explore this over the holiday to become familiar with what is available.  The tab at the top of the BBC Skillswise website page directs you to daily lessons.

 

From 1.6.20 I will continue to be available on the email below but only on Wednesdays. I will be happy to offer any guidance and assistance with online learning on this day.  The children can continue to email me via Purple Mash.  I will no longer be checking work from previous weeks on this platform. I have added spellings for the half term for you to access.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs Leeson

Lessons for week beginning 18.5.20

 

Maths

Please continue to follow the White Rose below.  Access is slightly different now. The videos are via the link and I have attached the worksheets separately.

 

 

English

 

Reading and writing - I have again set English via Purple Mash.  There is a further 4 chapters of a book called 'The Porchester Park Project' to read on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday  and activities to complete.  Please don't fee; that you have to complete all the activites on the days they are set and you can continue with this into the half term if it remains unfinished.  If your child wants extra work there are activities which can be printed from the Purple Mash home page under Serial Mash.  Just look for the story and follow the links for each chapter.  

 

Writing-  Before half term I would like the children to complete a book review of a book they have read since being at home.  I have set a 2do on Purple Mash if they want to use that template.  There is also a book review to complete on Thursday 'The Porchester Park Project' book.

 

PSHCE - please continue with this if possible

I have set a diary template on Purple Mash (or the children can create their own on paper).  I would like them to keep a daily diary this week.  I would like to know how they are feeling during this strange time and some good and bad things about being at home and not at school.  We have looked at diary writing in class so the children should know that it needs to be personal and include emotions and feelings.

 

Read for at least 30 minutes daily.  After each reading session, write 3 questions you could ask someone to answer about what you have read.

Spellings - please test your child on this week's spellings and I have attached next week's for them to learn for next Monday


Science

Please continue to work on the following......

In Science this term we will be looking at plants and to get the children started with this it would be good for them to think about what conditions plants need for them to grow well.  If you are already growing things at home you can use these or you can plant seeds found around you.  For example there are a lot of dandelion clocks around at the moment or you could simply plant an apple or some tomato seeds straight from the fridge and see what happens.  Keep a diary to record what happens to your seed/seeds over the next 3 weeks.  You can draw them, making careful observations each time, or even measure carefully in mms to see how much they grow.  You could even try and draw a bar chart to show this.

 

I have added a link to a video about seed dispersal which I would like the children to watch before completing an activity to show what they have learned on Purple Mash,


 

Science work from previous weeks...…

 

Last week I asked the children to watch the following link from Bitesize below and I have set a 2do for them to record what has happened to their plants they are growing at home.  If your child has already done this on paper or in their Purple Books please don't feel that they need to do this again.  They can however use the 2do if they want to.

 

I have also asked the children to find out more about the plants they are growing.  How tall will they get? Are they edible? Are they native to the UK?  They can let me know what they have found out via email on Purple Mash.

 

It is not too late to do  a 2do on Purple Mash where the children can create a poster to show the conditions plants need to grow (they can also complete this in another format and email to me).  Before completing the poster please watch the BBC Skillswise lesson I have attached a link for below. Make sure you include all the information in your poster.

 

 

 

 

Ideas to keep active

Joe Wicks AKA 'The Body Coach' is broadcasting a 9am PE lesson every weekday and we have enjoyed Cosmic Yoga this week in school of which there are many more online.  Please see links below.  Please also see the links under PE on Silver End School Website.

 

Any questions, please email and I will try and reply as promptly as possible between the hours stated.  Have fun!

Next week's spellings with activites. The children can also use these words for handwriting practise - please remember to test this week's spelling sent on Monday

Work from previous weeks.  It is not too late to try any of these activities.

English

I wanted the children to concentrate on grammar and reading last week.  There was a writing task as part of PSHCE detailed below. 

Grammar - I have added 3 activities to Purple Mash, 'Consonant or Vowel', 'Avoiding Said' and 'Harry's Party'.  All 3 activities will review grammar they had recently been taught in class.

I have also left the grammar activity sent through Purple Mash last week (Mark wants chicken) if the children want more practice.   

Reading- This is a fun comprehension lesson set by BBC Skillswise where quiz presenter Rachel Riley helps the children to learn to summarise information and make predictions through the story 'The Worst Witch' - see link below.  We have looked at how to summarise and make predictions in class before so this will be good practise.

 

 

We continued to on speech punctuation the week before that.  I have attached below a worksheet for the children to complete and I would then like them to turn the comic strip into writing using speech and description.  If your child wants an extra challenge they could write their own comic strip first and then convert it into speech.  Please remember it is the correct use of inverted commas (speech punctuation) I am looking for.

I  set a 2do through Purple Mash which the children can use to create their comic strip and to change this into writing.  They could also write in their purple books or attach as a document to be mailed to me.

 

Music

Message from Mrs Williams......

I’m sure you are all well aware that it is VE day on Friday. Thought I would just send you this link to  We’ll Meet Again sung by Vera Lyn.

There is going to be a live sing a long with Dame Vera on Friday so if you want to encourage your children to learn the song then they can join in, I know lots of places are having socially distanced street parties so it should be fun.

Maths

At the end of Year 4, all children nationally will sit a times table assessment. In preparation for this, we will be helping the children learn their 3 times table this term. They should know their 2,5 and 10 times table from Year 2. Along with the 3 times table, we will be learning our 4 and 8 times table. The children have log-ins for Times Tables Rock Stars in their reading records so they can practise at home.

                              Connected Curriculum

This term in our connected curriculum lessons we have a Geography focus.  We will be looking at how volcanoes and mountains are formed and how earthquakes occur.  We will be studying Iceland and looking at maps and aerial photographs.  We will also be identifying human and physical features of the landscape.  Later in the term we will be working in groups using the all the skills we have learnt to produce a documentary about Hawaii. We may also include our ICT skills by producing an animation of a volcano erupting.  Watch this space!

Your child was given a printed copy of the Homework that was set for this term. Please ensure that you and your child write a comment about each task chosen, to be handed in alongside the actual completed task.
