Maths - 

This week we are continuing to focus on shape!

Today we are looking at parallel and perependicular lines.

 See attachments below for lesson 6.

2. Try the activities - please find the sheets attached below

3. Check your answers.

Click here for WRH videos to accompany the lesson, you have to swap between week 9 and 10 as they juggled the lessons around.

Literacy - 

Today we are going to do our shared reading session and reading comprehension.  Today's session is based on  'Palaeontology' (science of fossils and dinosaurs).

Please find attached below the text and the questions (all in one file now). Maybe you could be the teacher and show your families how we do our shared reading. 

*** means high challenge

**means medium challenge

* means some challenge

With your adults at home, try to choose the challenge which is most suitable for you.

French- 

This week we have a little bit of a different lesson.  We are going to be looking at 'The Greedy Dog'.  Listen along with the PowerPoint and then have a go at the activities, it is a bit like our comprehension work.  Take it slowly as there are a lot of slides, you could even spread this out over a few days.  This will help you to consolidate you French words for food, numbers and even colours.  It will also give you a sneak peek into telling the time in French.  We will look at time in French soon.

THERE IS ALSO A SCRIPT BELOW THAT TELLS THE POWERPOINT STORY IN ENGLISH, TO HELP YOU.

Click here for the link to Espresso French topic section, there are loads of videos to help you!

As always, there are tonnes of videos on BBC Bitesize and YouTube, just ask an adults permission to look at them.

Today we are going to focus on spellings.  Unfortunately, we are not able to be in class to follow our Read, Write Inc so we are going to look at the year 3 statutory spelling words.

Attached below is an activity book for these words and a spelling mat of all the words.  Each week we will spend a session on this, so today only have a go at activity page nine and ten in the book.  We will continue working through the book after half term.

The spelling words are also in the back of your Bishop's Hull Book of Almost Everything.

RE - 

Over the last term we have been looking at the religion of Islam, we have now come to the end of this topic.  So, I would like you to create a leaflet  of your knowledge about Islam.  I have attached a template below for a leaflet and a PowerPoint of the key facts. 

Click here for the link to the Espresso Islam topic area.

Create the leaflet as if you were explaining Islam to someone who knows nothing about it.  There is lots of space for pictures!

Friday 3rd July

Maths - 

Today we are looking at this weeks maths challenge on the BBC Btesize daily lessons, click the link below. 

I will also attach below a maths revision booklet and its answers, for you to consolidate your learning.  However, DO NOT panic if you cannot remember some learning.  We would have naturally covered revision in class, if we were able to come into school.  You have not been in class since March, therefore do not be too hard on yourself.  The booklet is more to show you what you would need for a whole year in year 3, but you have only had half!  It can help you prepare for going up to year 4.

This booklet is huge and could last you a few weeks!

Literacy

I thought that today would be a good opportunity to revise our homophones!

Do you remember what a homophone is?

A homophone is...........

when two or words sound the same but have a different meaning.

Can you think of any?

Here are some homophones..........

hear/ here

two/ too/ to

there/ their/ they're

dear/ deer

our/ are

allowed/ aloud                       

There are even more!  Can you think of 10 more?  give it a try.

Once you have completed that click here for a GoNoodle video which has a song and a dance to help you remember them.

After the video, have a go at the activities attached below.  Can you find your homophones?

Literacy

Within literacy our big focus will be filling any of our knowledge gaps for grammar.  Things to look at will include - homophones, using conjunctions (and, so, because, after, then, but.....) and use of adverbs (quickly, quietly.....).  You could write a story incorporating all of these.

You could also be practicing your Read, Write Inc spelling words and handwriting practice with them.

Here is the website for Twinkl, if the adults at home sign up they will get a month free due to the current conditions.

In Computing the children continue to consider how to keep themselves safe when working online or using their mobile phones. It is something that we believe is very important and the children regularly have time to reinforce their knowledge of the ways to ensure they stay safe and happy whilst enjoying time on the computers. An excellent site for both children and parents is the Think U Know site. The web address is www.thinkuknow.co.uk and it is well worth a visit.

The children can also enjoy lots of activities and extend their learning by visiting Purple Mash.

Purple Mash is an ever growing online creative space especially for learners aged 3 - 11. This award winning site is filled with hundreds of fun educational activities in the form of projects, games, apps and tools.
