Your child may attend with you if you wish.

Online Learning How to Guide, by Miss McEvoy

Date: 11th Jun 2020 @ 7:04pm

Here is a how to guide on accessing home learning, which will be starting on Monday.

The video shows you how to gain access to google classroom and google meet (hangouts). We give instructions for using a laptop or a phone/tablet.

If you follow this guide and still need some further support, Mr Tarry and Mr Ward are running a support session at the school office tomorrow (Friday 12th June) all day. Please bring along your devices or laptop and they can help you log on to make sure your child is ready for their lesson on Monday or Tuesday.
**Please note school wifi will not be available to use. If needing help with a laptop please bring a phone which can be used as wifi**

Just a reminder that these lessons are live and need to be accessed at the time your teacher had texted you. They cannot be seen later in the day.
Also we will only make the link/code visable just before the time. Each teacher will post an announcement with the link and code for the children to see. The week after it will be a different link/code so please always check back on the classroom before each online lesson.

We hope the video is useful

Good morning everyone!

Here's the video with this week's tasks on.

1. Maths and English books as usual. Try to keep up with the marking too please.

2. Pobble 365 activity. There will be a picture every day and some questions to answer. There is also a story starter, so use that to start you off writing your own story. It's not London today, it's New York!
https://www.pobble365.com/

3. Times Table Rockstars battle - 8 times table. Sit with the answers in front of you to start with if you need to, then try to remember them off by heart.

4. Have a go at making some origami designs. I've put 2 links up but you can search for ones you want to do.

Date: 4th May 2020 @ 11:47am

Hi Year 3,

Here are this week's tasks.

1. One or two pages of your Maths and English workbook every day. Don't forget to mark these to see how you're getting on.

2. Research into hieroglyphics. Write a message using the correct symbols. Upload your message to Google Classroom (in English if necessary but a picture of your message/ poster would be brilliant if possible).

3. Try to make a flip book. This can be with any pictures you like. You don't have to draw an alien! But I thought Muhammad explained how to do it very well.

Here are some links to see how to make the pieces of paper go together and then do the drawings.

  • Have a look at the book ' You Choose' by Nick Sharratt and Pippa Goodhart. Here is a youtube link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x9B0uMeyQM

Good morning smiley

How has your first week at home been? I hope you have all done well with Joe Wick every day.

Today's activity has a big number 5 in the corner.

Creative challenge

As most of us have been staying at home all day, it's nice to see some nature and wildlife. So I've found some zoos that are live streaming their animals! Have a browse of their websites and see what animals you can find. Maybe you could do some research on your favourite animals and write about them in your book.

https://www.dublinzoo.ie/animals/animal-webcams/

https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/webcams/panda-cam/

https://www.dudleyzoo.org.uk/our-animals/webcams/

https://www.georgiaaquarium.org/

Chester Zoo is also running a virtual trip to the zoo today. Below is the list of running times.

EASTER HALF TERM

After tomorrow, our Easter holidays start and there are 2 weeks when you don't have to do the sheets from your learning pack or anything on Google Classroom. Instead, myself and Miss Higson would like you to have a go at some of your Pobble sheet activities that can be done as a family.

Mrs Nunwick has also found this super list of activities to keep you and your family busy (while staying safe indoors).

Have fun everybody!

Happy Friday,

Mrs Edwards and Miss Higson

Thursday 26th March Year 3, by Miss Higson

Date: 26th Mar 2020 @ 8:44am

Good morning everyone!

Miss Higson here. I hope that you are all OK and have been busy around your house. I'm just getting ready to start the Joe Wicks PE lesson but thought I'd write on here first.

Today's activities are the ones with a big number 4 in the corner of your pack. See if you can do all those and let me know how you get on.

Extra chellenges for today

I found this cool video on Youtube for drawing a 3D ladder. It doesn't look too tricky - see if you can try it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAq2X-0FbGM

Feeling creative? Why don't you take a look at the Wildlife Watch website - there are lots of fun activities to do in the garden/yard. While the sun is shining, why don't you try and attempt some of them? 

Here is the website: https://www.wildlifewatch.org.uk/activity-sheets

If you manage to complete one of the activities, we have set up a Google Classroom document for you to add a picture to so we can see. Do not worry if you are not able to do this. Instead, you could write today's date in your book and draw and label a picture of your creation.

Speak to you soon!

Miss Higson and Mrs Edwards

Wednesday 25th March Year 3, by Mrs Edwards

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 8:39am

Morning everyone smiley

How are you all today?

I have been experimenting with different recipes last week and have enjoyed what I have made so far. My favourite has been a lentil spaghetti bolognese - mmm. (This isn't the one I made, it's from the recipe I followed.)

 

Your task today is to help an adult make a meal. It could be for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a snack. Once you have done this, write a set of instructions about how you made it, like a recipe book. Please put today's date in your blue book and write your recipe in there. Don't forget to add in an image of your creation.

 

Extra challenge: 

In your blue books, write down as many words as you can find in this boggle.

One point for every letter you use.

eg. 9 letter word = 9 points, 4 letter word = 4 points

 

What books have you all been reading? Comment below and recommend some to your friends.

 

Good luck,

Mrs Edwards and Miss Higson
