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.

Have a nice weekend!

Spellings week 6
Our week
Spellings week 5
Spellings week 4
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!

Burps, Bottoms and Bile - Medium Term Plan
Spellings week 1
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!
See you Thursday 03-09 at 8.40 am!
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://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
Fun times at Firstsite
What we are learning this September!
We made it munchkins, and I am so proud of you!
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...)

Bonjour Vista! It is too hot to run around too much, so let's start with some stretchy yoga... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vuaCHEAs-4 There is a fair bit of writing with our English lesson today. Nearpod code: MSPBY Maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ Today, you will learn about parallel and perpendicular. French this afternoon! It is a bit different today as Mrs Langford's virtual classroom is closed while I teach the Year 6. However, a friend of mine sent me a copy of the little cookbook she made for her class and I really wanted to share with you: just read (can you recognise the French words without checking the English version?), watch the little video if you wish and what about trying out one of the recipes? It is posted just above. Have fun and drink plenty of water: it's hot!!! Mrs Langford |
Examples of herbariums
24-06-2020
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!

Good morning Vista! First, I forgot yesterday: well done for winning the TTR tournament!!! Again! I am very proud of you, not only you work hard, but you work as a team. Second, if you have sent me some work and I did not put it on the website, it is probably because the file was too big. However, I am keeping all your work so we can look at it together in September.
We keep dancing today, but you really need some energy for this one! https://app.gonoodle.com/activities/party-rock?s=Channel&t=Zumba%20Kids&sid=2&cs=zumba-kids Our English is about word families, easy peasy lesson today! NOWGC Maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ Some of you really struggled with angles earlier in the year, so it is your chance to improve! Finally, here is an art lesson for the afternoon, Nearpod code: UYDNO It is all about drawing flowers.
Have a lovely sunny day and don't forget to go out and get some Vitamin D! Mrs Langford

Good morning! Another lovely day ahead!
English Nearpod code: BZICR It is a nice easy grammar lesson today, you will be done in minutes. Maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ If you are finding fractions and measuring a bit tricky, spend 30 minutes on TTR instead. Don't hesitate to email me if you have lost your password.
Next, we have a special project that will stretch over 3 afternoons (you can obviously do the work in the morning! Nearpod code: HVTFD Remember, we are taking 3 days to do this.
Finally, I know you are all feeling a bit lonely, you are missing school and your friends, it is difficult to learn at home without others around you... I miss you too. I am very proud of all the work you are producing, all the new experiences, how independent and resilient you are becoming... So take a deep breath, put a smile on your face and keep on amazing me!

I love Fridays! It is time to slow down a bit and make projects for the weekend. Your English spellings are just below this post. Challenge as usual for maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ A few of you told me they really enjoyed the map activities, so I am posting a few worksheets. Decide which one you prefer. But your real challenge is: design a map of a place in Colchester. Just mark it with a big X. Don't tell me what it is. I will need to work it out! You have until Monday to send it to me (if you wish). Finally, we are starting another tournament against Mosaic starting Friday at 3pm and finishing next Friday at 3pm... Can we win again? Have a lovely weekend! Mrs Langford |

Maths: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ Back to the Iron Age and we are looking at hillforts! Nearpod code: XSTCZ
If we had been in school, we would have made our own hillfort out of papier maché. So what about having a go at building a fort? You could go silly with sofa cushions (check it is ok first), make a model out of plastic and cardboard recycling, play with some lego... there is even a Minecraft tutorial! Remember they are called hillforts because they were built on a hill: make sure you understand WHY they were built on a hill! Have a lovely day even though it supposed to rain. Missing you a lot.

Today, we finish the work on Professor Plum then some Maths. I have also prepared you a short French lesson and an Art lesson (with a lot of reading) on a wonderful artist called Joan Miro.

We are heading fast to Friday, but it is not a usual Friday because it is the 8th of May. It marks the official end of WW2. It is a very emotional and special day for many people all over Europe. When you get to Year 6, you will study this period, but in the meantime, you will hear a lot about it over the next few days. It might not mean a lot to you, but it changed the world. So let's start celebrating and honouring the people whose sacrifice made our lives a little bit better... in a happy way. Let's dance the Lindy Hop! It was such a popular dance in 1940's Britain... So were the Jive and the Swing. But first, you need to master the Charleston step... Sounds weird? Those dance steps are still used today as the basis for Hip Hop and Breakdance! It is not easy so keep working on it, grab a parent and twirl them around! We are still working on English and Maths: English Nearpod code: RENFV Maths week 3 lesson 3: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ And Wednesday is coding day - check previous posts for login. Don't forget our TTR tournament, we might just beat Mosaic! Finally, to prepare for VE day, I will post some activities later on in the day. Enjoy the sun! Mrs Langford |

First of the month! Can you believe it is already May? Traditionally in the UK, the Celts used to celebrate the festival of Beltane on the 1st of May. It represents the exact equal point between Spring and Summer. It was a time of celebration, fun, parties and dancing around the Maypole. It is known nowadays as Workers'day in many countries around the world. And in France? There it is a bank holiday and traditionally people offer each other a few sprigs of Lily of the Valley for good luck. So here is mine to you:
But we still have work to do Today's maths is another maths challenge https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ And our geography lesson takes us on a Virtual trip to the Eiffel Tower! Nearpod code: SBFAI Have a lovely day and a great weekend! Mrs Langford |

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.

Amazing "pictures" from your trip to the zoo!
And the work for today...
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!
3rd April - Today's nearpod: QAUZP

And who's birthday was it on the 1st? Jack!
Good morning! You will find today's work and codes in this document. Have a lovely day. C. Langford
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!
Mrs Langford
Home tasks for Wednesday 1st April
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!
Activities for 30-03-2020
Special message from Mrs Langford
Features of a diary
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
It's Thursday! It's art day!
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

World Book Day
Here is a link to a non exhaustive Year 3 reading list. A book is always a great stocking filler...
https://www.booksfortopics.com/year-3
What an amazing first week back! Ask your child about cookbooks, how to write a recipe, the Mayan creation story and... what we are doing in PE!
spellings due Friday 15/11/2019
You will find below the Powerpoint presentation shared this afternoon. A recommended books reading list will follow shortly. It was a real pleasure to meet so many parents!
Using our research skills, we have been learning new facts about pirates!
In Vista we have been learning about position and direction in maths. We have been moving left, right, forwards and backwards and turning using quarter turns and half turns.
Some sneaky pirates have taken over the Vista pirate ship!
World Book Day 2019
All the children in Vista class looked amazing on World Book Day!
