Hello again Vista!  Following this morning's chat, here are the links to "George explains".  I picked expanded noun phrases and fronted adverbials.  Remember, to show you understand something, you need to: use it and explain it to somebody else.  So, if I asked you: "what is an expanded noun phrase?", what would you say?

You will be receiving an email detailing a little more about how Home Learning will take place from next Monday. Below you will find the pack for our first week, the pack is both printable and editable. Some of the lessons may send the children onto Nearpod and others might require the odd external resource but the vast majority can be done from the pack alone.

I will also be going online on Teams every morning from 9.00am, I will send the first invite out on Sunday. You do not have to join but I will be going through the pack and a little more about how to use it. It will also be a zone where children can ask any questions they would like and to generally just have a check-in. Mrs Eddison will also be running Team calls at 10.30 each day for children to drop into and ask questions or do some small intervention tasks.

As always, any questions feel free to contact me on christine.langford@camulosacademy.co.uk

Times tables this half term

We have been working hard on our 6 and 8 times tables.  Keep practising during half-term as you should know your 2,5,10,3,4,6 and 8 by heart at this time of year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bPW5tHVZ_c

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlNaIPnOZoY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X620IeUkYE

Also, keep testing yourself on:

https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/

The following website has plenty of activities and worksheets too:

https://www.math-salamanders.com/math-times-table.html

Homework for week 6 

You will find a copy of the spellings just below.  For Mathematics, could you please keep practising your times tables (1 to 12).  Here is a link to the website we use in class:

https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/

Have a nice weekend!

Mrs Langford

We had an amazing week with a lot of reading, writing, math...  But also a lot of fun with eggs and Coca-Cola...  The children started a scientific investigation, asking the question: what is the effect of sugary and acidic drinks on the enamel of our teeth?  We set up our experiment and discussed what makes a fair test, how to record our data accurately, how to display our results...  We were amazed by the results after 24 hours and slightly disgusted after 48 hours!  But what a great way to bring Science to life!

Our School Council election will take place on Thursday.  In the meantime, the children... Sorry.  The candidates have been busy running their campaign:

This week, our candidates will have the opportunity to deliver a speech to boost their campaign and share their agenda.  How exciting!

It's election time!!!

Over the next 2 weeks, Vista will be getting a real taste of citizenship and civic duties.  We are running elections for the 2020 School council. The children wishing to run were encouraged to produce a poster for our Citizenship wall.  We have discussed what makes a good leader, how their programme needs to be mature and achievable, what would they like to propose...  It is a great way to discuss civic duty, responsibilities, fairness and working toward a common goal, as well as practising their speaking skills.

So let the elections begin!

Hello!  Another wonderful week for Vista.  The children have worked very hard on a beautifully presented double page spread on the topic of Teeth.  We are also studying "Gulliver's travels" and this has really sparked their imagination.  I am sure you had some very tired children at home!

The spellings due next Friday are posted just below (week 3).  Here is a link to the website we use in class to practice our times tables: 

https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/

The MTC examination is online.  There will be 25 questions on the 2 to 12 times tables, with a maximum of 6 seconds to answer.  Practice is essential.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Mrs Langford

Reminder: you will be tested on your spellings and your times table on Friday.

There is a link to your spellings just above if you have lost your worksheet.

Remember to bring back your reading book to swap it.

Finally, you need to come in your P.E. kit as Friday is your P.E. day!

Hello Vista!  I can't wait to see you tomorrow morning!  

At 8.40am, you will make your way to the classroom.  There will be a table outside the classroom to put down your lunchbox.  You will hang your coat on the back of your chair and any bag you bring will have to go under your desk (so keep it small!).  All you need is your pencil case (if you have one) and your water bottle.  You do not need a reading book, I have many new ones and a great quarantine system for our library.  Do not bring anything else. 

You will take your PE kit home on Thursday.  Our PE day will be Friday starting 10/09 (No PE this Friday).  

Thursday and Friday will be about understanding the new rules to keep us all safe, taking the time to renew friendships and discovering our new topic.

So have a good night sleep, a hearty breakfast and let's have the most amazing year!

Mrs Langford

Bonjour Vista!  I hope you are having a great summer... despite the weather!

Would you like to learn to type?  I found this great website: https://www.typingclub.com/

It is free, you can register using any email address if you wish to save your progress (use your school one for example).  If you like it, I will start a special school login so we can have competitions against other classes (a bit like TTR).  

Talking about TTR...  Where is everybody?  Remember that 10 minutes practice a day will make a huge difference.  

Have fun!

Mrs Langford

Good morning!  It is times tables time...  I just started our massive all summer long TTRockstars battle against Mosaic.  It will end on the third of September.  

Times tables will be a very important part of Year 4 as we have the "Year 4 multiplication check" online assessment in June 2021.  Here are some links for parents: 

https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/at-school/primary-school-assessment-tests/year-4-multiplication-tables-check/

https://thirdspacelearning.com/blog/times-tables-test-parents-guide/

You can use TTRockstars to practice; we have used this site a lot in class too (and it has a test simulator): https://www.timestables.co.uk/

There are many other websites and worksheets available online, but what about asking your parents how they learnt their multiplication tables? 

Mrs Langford

16-07-2020

Here we are, last day of school.  Oh what a year we had!  Well done to all of you for working so very hard: the work you keep showing me is brilliant!  Well done to your parents for being there and supporting your learning for the last few months, they are amazing.   

I was sorting out our classroom while talking to the Year 6 and I found our last set of work: Wednesday 18th March.  That is when "normal life" stopped and we had to invent new ways to keep you learning.  You have all had different experiences since then.  I cannot wait for us to get back together and show our strength as a group.  I am sure we have a lot to teach each other.

So...  September.  Your parents were sent a letter about the way things will be from September.  To me, it sounds quite cool!  We don't have to share the playground or field with bigger children.  You all sit facing me.  We get an extra 10 mins at the end of the day.  It will be great!

Next year is really exciting.  Here is a quick view of what you will be learning.

Autumn term: Burps, Bottoms and Bile.  We will have a Science focus.  From mouth and teeth, through the digestive system, what happens when you eat or drink?  We will write fact files and fantasy narratives.  We will dig deeper in the scientific process.  We will find out about important scientists and doctors who have shaped our world.  In Maths, we will look at place value and Roman numerals, as well as reinforcing addition and subtraction.  I will start teaching you about telling the time, and of course...  Times tables!  Big focus on handwriting and presentation too!  We will start a new French programme that will ensure you are starting secondary school ahead of the rest.  I am really keen on Music (we will follow the Charanga programme with...  Mama Mia...) and Art too!  I am putting in place a reinforcement programme for grammar to help improve the quality of your writing.  

Mrs Brender is joining us as LSA and I know many of you know how kind and joyful she is!

I am adding (above) your usual "home learning" suggestions for the next topic as well as the Knowledge Organiser that covers many aspects of your future learning...

On Monday, we will start our big Times Table Rockstar Monster Challenge.  Vista versus Mosaic, all summer long...  I will also post a series of worksheets, suggestions for work and fun during the summer.  Just in case you are bored and want to do something.  Lots of links to websites to keep you going for the next 6 weeks.  

It might be summer but I will keep posting work once in a while.  I am still here for you if you want to email.  On Teams, there is now a folder for you, so you can drop work, pictures, anything you wish!  The holidays mean that I might take a while to answer, but I am happy for you to email me if you need anything.

I hope you have a wonderful summer full of fun, adventures, new experiences.  A lot of reading too!  Keep writing, even if it is helping mum and dad with a shopping list.  Keep safe and look after yourself.

Keep growing as amazing little people that I cannot wait to see again.

Mrs Langford

15-07-2020

Good morning!  The sun is out and we have 2 days to go before the end of the year.  And what a year it was!  Today, I am doing things differently.  This is our last week with our free subscription of Nearpod (they gave us 4 months instead of 4 weeks!) so I want to make the most of it.  I have gathered a few "Flocabulary" Science clips that might interest you.  Have a look (and a listen!) through them, pick a topic you like, do some research and prepare a little presentation.  It doesn't have to be long, but imagine you have to stand up in front of the class and talk about your topic: do you think you could do it?  I don't expect you to send me anything (you can if you wish), I just want you to practice all those skills you have acquired this year and I want you to work on your confidence speaking in public.  

Maybe you could present this to the class in September?

Here is the code: TAMYN

Tomorrow, I will post our "home learning" activities for our new topic, some suggestions for the Summer, our TTR summer challenge and so on.

Have a lovely day!

Mrs Langford (now remember to press save...)

14-07-2020

Oh no!  I never pressed "send" this morning!  Here is your work munchkins!

Sorry! 

Mrs Langford

13-07-2020

Welcome to the last week of school!  This week, the topic activities are an introduction to our Autumn topic which is "Burps, Bottoms and Bile".  Sounds gross, don't you think?  We will have a Science focus on teeth and the digestive system.

First, here is your English Nearpod: FMKQO

Then, Maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

Finally, a Nearpod on teeth: ECHFG

See you at 4pm for our virtual meeting on Teams, if you can make it!

Mrs Langford

10-07-2020

Good morning!  It's Friday and I can already feel the weekend.  I am taking you dancing:

09-07-2020

Good morning munchkins!  I cannot believe it is already the 09th!  Next Thursday is our last day of school!

I have a super short English Nearpod today about writing a letter: PXTYL

Here is your maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

And here is a funny art lesson from Mr Young: CYVIN

Hopefully, it won't rain all day and you will be able to go out!  No virtual meeting until next week as many children still can't log in.

Have a nice day!

Mrs Langford

08-07-2020

Good morning!

It was nice to see some of you but I was sad that technical problems prevented others to join us.  It is all getting sorted and hopefully, we can have many more of you next week.  I will also make sure you have enough time to share as I had to rush you.

Let's get on with our work:

More yoga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X655B4ISakg&t=428s

Some easy peasy English, Nearpod code: AFZOB

Maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

Finally, coding (last one?) : https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/coding/lessons.html#/coding/units

Have a lovely day!

Mrs Langford

07-07-2020

Hello Vista!  Ready for dancing?  Here is something to wake you up!

https://app.gonoodle.com/activities/beat-go-pop

Here is a fun English lesson, Nearpod code: HBCEI

And some maths too: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

Do you understand what mass means?  It is the amount of matter in your body.  In general term, we usually talk about weight.  So today, you will look at lighter and heavier.  If I munch on popcorn, does the bag become lighter or heavier?

I have a brilliant experiment for our topic work: JBUAC

Have a lovely day and I hope to see you today at 4pm!

Mrs Langford

06-07-2020

Good morning Vista!  It is almost the end of the school year and we are all tired, but it really is our last week of proper work so let's make it amazing!

Let's start the week with a lovely mindfulness session: https://app.gonoodle.com/activities/live-in-the-moment

English Nearpod code: MDFCZ  (George is going to love this one!)

Maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/  (We are weighing mass, a really important skill)

Science: this is our last one on Predators.  Nearpod code: FOQYZ

I hope to see many of you on Tuesday at 4pm for our Teams meeting.  Don't worry if you cannot make it, I will set up another one before the end of the year.

Have a brilliant day!

Mrs Langford

Our class meeting will take place on Tuesday 07-07 at 4pm (not Thursday as previously stated)

Sorry for the misunderstanding, letter has gone out with all the details.

03-07-2020

It's Friday!  Are you making some plans for the weekend?  Some of you are having such great adventures!

Here is some yoga to start the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZpkRAcgws4

For English, practice your spellings (posted just below).  Then here is your Friday maths challenge: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

We are travelling to China for a virtual tour, Nearpod code: WBZUK

If you have not yet received an invitation (by email) to a virtual class meeting on Teams, it should get there before the weekend.  I have scheduled it for Tuesday at 4pm.  If you cannot "attend", don't worry, I will do another one before the end of the year.

Have a great weekend!

Mrs Langford

02-07-2020

Good morning Vista!  I really enjoy reading your English work at the moment.  Well done to all of you!

I have some amazing work to show to the whole class from most of you, but if you have not sent me anything at all during this 100+ days of lockdown, try to send me a picture of your favourite piece of work.

I am not telling you why...  You will have to find out later...

Now, let's dance: https://app.gonoodle.com/activities/dance-dance-dance

And let's finish our superhero themed English with this Nearpod code: JNIQM

Some maths about time: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

We finish with some French about the weather.  It is not an easy one but try to get to the game part:

Science is about monkeys! EKACW

And don't forget to read a good book!  Have a nice day.

Good morning!  Are you ready for some exercise? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etYhiq9hM8A

Here is your English Nearpod: NHCBR

And your maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

Then, do you know what is a plant herbarium?  It is a collection of collected plants put together in a book for study.  It also makes for a beautiful keepsake of a special moment in time.  So this afternoon, you can do something practical like making your own herbarium (examples above), or you can do some research online on about local flora, or even just sit at a window and draw a plant or tree you like.

It is going to be hot, hot, hot so make sure you drink plenty of water and put suncream.

Stay safe from the sun but enjoy it too!

Mea Culpa

That's Latin for "my fault".  I made a typing error yesterday with the Nearpod code, it should have said ZERDF.  I have now amended it.  Me and my elephant fingers!

04-06-2020

Good morning!  I really enjoyed your work yesterday, I am sure you will write an amazing story about Brian and his dogs!

Let's make sure you are wide awake first...

Have a lovely day!

Good morning munchkins, it's Monday again!  This week, we are discovering the Iron Age and I have got a few opportunities for amazing stories in our English Nearpod.  Shall we make a book of all your stories when we meet again?  I am looking into it.  Let's start the day!

What about a bit of yoga for a change? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X655B4ISakg

English Nearpod code: QCNVS  ... What's with the teapots? Use your imagination and tell me!

Maths https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/  Back to fractions, but there is an alternative plan if you already feel confident with those.

This is a gorgeous sunny day, so get your Vitamin D in the sun! Go and do something fun!

Mrs Langford

Do you like virtual trips?  I would love to have a virtual headset in the classroom! But we can still have a 360o tour of some amazing places.  Here are the links to 3 incredible places: the International Space station, Scott's hut in Antarctica and Svalbard in Norway... in a seeds vault!  Have a look around and think of some questions you can ask me next week.  I will set up a special Nearpod for you to post questions on Monday.  Have a lovely weekend!

We won! 

Well done Vista for winning the TTRockstars tournament.  Especially: Alexia, Lauren and Isa who really pushed it and grabbed the win!

Are you ready for the next one?  

Keep practising those times tables because I feel Mosaic might challenge us soon...

But we are ready for them Vista, aren't we?!

Big hug from Mrs Langford

And also: 

I created a Kahoot quiz for you.  The code to enter is 09141421

Here is the link https://kahoot.it/

Can you get the 10 questions correctly?  The quiz will be live until Monday lunchtime!

oops!  I posted the wrong Nearpod code for English!  The one I gave you is a lesson I discarded.  This is the correct one: PXJYF

Don't worry if you have done the first one I posted, you just had to listen to my son reading aloud!

It's Friday!  Today's Nearpod (code: FWPHM) looks at what predators have in common.  It's a quick and easy one.  Enjoy the last day of the "holidays", we have plenty of work planned for you starting Monday!

Have a lovely weekend, stay home and stay safe.

Mrs Langford

What a beautiful Thursday morning!  I hope you all get a bit of sun and fresh air while keeping safe.

Today's Nearpod code is YRJQO.  It's all about fossils!

Mrs Langford

Hi!  Here is the code for today's (Wednesday) lesson: HGJBE

It is a short one from the BBC about sharks.  Maybe you can do some TTR or some exercise with Joe Wicks!

Have a lovely day!

Good morning Vista!  This week, we will be looking at our secondary topic: Predators!

Here is the Nearpod code: WPQXG

Have fun!

Mrs Langford

Good morning Vista!  As today is Good Friday, I won't set any work.  It is a very important time of the year for some of you so I want you to make it extra special for your family.  So instead, here is a link to a cookie recipe...in French!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_UnY_LVTBM

You are still welcome to go on TTR and keep scoring those points!  I will be back on Tuesday with some more work, this time on Predators!

Enjoy this sunny Easter weekend, don't eat too much chocolate and take care.

Mrs Langford

Thursday 09-04-2020 and today's code for Nearpod is: QJGAT

Don't forget our Times Tables Rockstars competition against Mosaic!

Have a lovely sunny day!

Mrs Langford

Good morning Vista!  Here is the code for today's work (08-04-2020):

NCRGE

And don't forget our TTR challenge!  We have to beat Mosaic!

Bonjour! Today (07-04-2020), it's all about tribal art.  Here is the code for your Nearpod: TDGZB

Good morning!  Today's Nearpod code is: ICMWL

Enjoy the first day of the holidays!

You should receive an email today outlining a little bit more about what will be happening over Easter.

Today we are going on a school trip to the Zoo! The link is below and the tour will start at 10am.

The NearPod has a collaboration slide which allows the children to write about their favourite part or what they can see, the rest of the class will be able to see the comments as will I. There is then some space to write to me about what they enjoyed about the tour and a Draw it section to finish off.  Thank you to Mr Young for setting it all up!

Good morning!  Today's codes are NMLWA for English and SFJHV for Science.  I have explained the work in the document "Vista home tasks" just below.  By the end of the week, I would love to see the children working more independently so parents can get on with their own work.  Remember that the work will not be marked by teachers, but I am very happy to look at it.  Just send me a photo via email.

Have a lovely day!

NearPod Home Learning

After successfully trailing yesterdays new nearpod lesson we have created another, fuller lesson for you to go through on the app. The lesson is about the Trojan War, there will be a video followed by a PowerPoint for the input and the work will be in the form of an open ended question and task at the end (to be completed in either your books, paper or typed on the app). As myself and Mr Young get more used to planning and preparing in this format you will find us hopefully starting to prepare more of these daily . The PIN's will stay active for around a week to give you plenty of time to complete each lesson so don't feel any pressure to get them done straight away.

31st March - Today's nearpod: WTRMH

Maths Home Learning 

White Rose are releasing daily lessons in weekly batches on their home learning website linked below. These lessons follow the exact day-to-day learning that we would be following in school for Maths. Each lesson has a video for input to go through the learning, a worksheet to demonstrate understanding and an answer sheet to check over at the end. I would highly recommend using this for your daily Maths lessons at home!

Bonjour!  It's Friday!  Today you would have been tested on your times tables.  You should all be very confident with your X2, X5, X10, X3 and X4.  If it is not the case, you know what to do.  

Remember you can test yourself and practice on:

https://www.timestables.co.uk/

You are all familiar with the site as we have used it often in class.

Also, this week and the next, we would have been working on writing a diary in English.  We went through the features of a diary in class.  Can you start writing a diary?  It doesn't have to be true.  We are not having the most exciting adventures stuck in our homes!  What about a fantasy diary?  Maybe you fought the Nemean lion like Hercules?  Or you sailed a boat to the Hebrides guided by dolphins?

Good morning Vista!  Today, Thursday, as well as some English and Maths work, what about a bit of art?  You have all been brilliant at guided drawing, becoming more secure in your use of "art lines" (can you name them all?), but most of you have struggled with proportions.  Here is a link to today's suggested art work:

https://artprojectsforkids.org/draw-a-romero-britto-cat/

Romero Britto is an amazing artist whose art has brought joy and peace all over the world.  So enjoy!

I will be emailing your parents today and giving them my school email address so you can send me your pictures.  I will post a picture of my piece of art this afternoon.

Have a lovely day!

Mrs Langford

Bonjour!  Aujourd'hui c'est Mercredi. Do you remember what it means?  Here is your challenge of the day: find and learn the days of the week in French.  I hope you had a lovely day yesterday.  Keep working your way through the maths programme on fractions.  Why not start with our usual "daily 10"?  Maybe you can challenge your grown ups too?  Here is the link:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Don't forget to enjoy the sun, but remember: no contact and wash your hands!

Mrs Langford

Good morning Vista!  Welcome to day 2 of homeschooling. 

Did you manage to do any work yesterday?  

It can be a bit overwhelming to decide what to start with, so, those are my suggestions for today:

15 minutes handwriting practice - Maths: pages 1 and 2 of Fractions Steps 1-9 - English: Spag Activity mat 1 (we have done it in class 2 months ago) then write a short story (you chose the theme, it doesn't have to be about ancient Greece) using a range of prepositions.  Have you forgotten about prepositions?  Here is a reminder: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwwp8mn/articles/zw38srd

Do not forget to exercise.  If you have a garden, enjoy the sun.  You can always rely on Joe Wicks to keep you fit.  

Do something nice for your grown-ups too.  Help around the house or tidy your bedroom?

I will update this page regularly. See you soon.

Mrs Langford

Hello everyone, below you will find resources, plans and activities to support your child's learning during this time. Each of them should have their two exercise books, a blue book full of printed resources and lessons ready-made with a PowerPoint guide below to help you through, and a purple book that is empty and for use with the online resources also listed below.

Each resource has been created to support your child's learning process. There are activities ranging throughout the curriculum and they will be updated routinely as needed. 

Here is a link to a non exhaustive Year 3 reading list.  A book is always a great stocking filler...

All the children in Vista class looked amazing on World Book Day!
