Good Morning Class Three.
Well done to each of you for your really hard work over the last couple of days! I have been really impressed by your Purple Mash work and seeing who has been working hard on TT Rock Stars. I have put today's activities below. Remember to complete one of the project ideas too, and if you can send me a photo, that I could put on the website, that would be amazing as I would love to see what you have been doing!
As you know, purple Mash had some difficulties yesterday as it was very busy during late morning. It seems to be ok now, so you shouldn’t have any difficulties but if you are struggling, don’t panic as you can always go on later on in the day. If you have any problems, you can always send me an email. I will check in on your online activities a bit later to see how you are getting on.
Morning task – word jumble
In your workbook, using each letter once, I would like you to try and come up with as many different words as you can – remember to use the dictionary for spelling help! Good luck and I’ll check in with you later to see how you’re getting on!

Maths
Today, I’d like you to do a bit of subtraction revision. If you click on this link: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/subtraction-grids - it will take you to the topmarks website and I would like you to have a go on the subtraction grids. You can choose the level that you think would challenge you the most. I have also set some challenges for you to complete in sumdog.
Reading
Please read for 30 minutes from your current AR home reading book. Remember to check the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary. 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
To help practise your chosen 10 words from the Y3/4 Statutory word list, I would like you to write the word alongside the definition – remember to use a dictionary if you’re unsure of the meaning.
Writing
Log on to your Purple Mash account and complete the ‘2do task’. Today’s task is all about ‘dark and dingy words’. You have been given a list of words that describe darkness, and your task is to write an interesting sentence using each of those words. You can then add a picture to make it more exciting.
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?
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 also to spend time outside in the glorious sunshine with an orange or an apple!! Take care, missing you all, look after each other and be safe!!
See you soon 😊 😊
