Good Morning Class Three.
I hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine and spoilt your lovely Mums yesterday.
Below are today's learning activities for you to complete. I will check in on your online activities a bit later to see how you are getting on!
Maths
Working on Times Table Rockstars, please practise your times tables for at least 15 minutes.
Reading
Please read for 30 minutes from your current AR home reading book. Remember if you finish and are ready to quiz you can access AR at home using the link we gave out. I will be keeping an eye on your points targets and giving a big shout out to those of you who reach their target!
Spellings
Ask an adult to test you on last weeks spellings. Fingers crossed for full marks!
This week practise 10 of the Year 3/4 Common Exception Words. (You can use your workbook for this.) After having some practice using the usual look - cover - write - check approach, then try out some of the spelling games we use in school - battleships, invisible man or squares!
Writing
Log on to your Purple Mash account and complete the ‘2do task’ This is to write a character description of a member of your family. What do they look like? How do they behave? etc... You could make it even more fun by not using the person's name so that other members of your family have to guess who you are describing!
Learning Project - To be completed throughout the week.
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for you to gain a better understanding of your own family. Learning may focus on the different makeup of families, what traditions your family has, stories linked to your family, etc.
Each day choose one activity from these listed below.
Let’s Wonder:
Who is in your child’s immediate family? What other relatives do you have? How does your family link together? How many people do you have in your family? Why not spend time looking through old photos and talking about the people in their families. What family stories can they tell? How is life different to your parents? grandparents?
Let’s Create:
Create a piece of artwork entitled ‘Family’. This could be a drawing, a self-portrait, sculpture or collage. Could you copy another artist's style? Which materials have they chosen to use and why? How do you feel about their piece of artwork? What would you change or not? Family Portraits
Be Active:
Try out Go Noodle with the family or have a family workout. Fancy a dance? There are lots of dance videos you could try. Dance. Maybe try some Yoga. We would recommend exercise is done every day!
Time to Talk:
Perhaps you could play a board game, facetime a member of their family you have not seen this week, enjoy a family indoor picnic or have a family dinner, which you can help to prepare and cook.
Understanding Others and Appreciating Differences:
Discuss how your family is different to other people’s families. Discuss whether all families are the same? Does it matter? Do all families have the same faith? Do all families worship in the same way?
Reflect:
Find out what music your family members enjoy. Do they like the same music? What is their favourite song? You could listen to different pieces of music together with the family. Do you like/dislike any particular types of music and why? Can you identify the instruments you can hear and describe how the music makes you feel? Why not listen to some of the classics?
Enjoy your activities today - remember to also get outside in the glorious sunshine too and eat an apple or two! Take care.
