Good morning!  It's a bit grey today...  Let's start with some music!

No English Nearpod today, we are going to focus on spellings on Fridays (link above).

The weather looks miserable so grab a book and curl up on the sofa.

I will post another message later on today.

I think we should all start the day with a bit of dancing, so here we go!

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.

Hi Vista!  Here is your work for today:

I was listening to some Reggaeton music on my way to school this morning and I really felt like dancing!  So what about a bit of Zumba?

Hello munchkins!  Are you reading enough?  The answer is no because you can never read enough!

I have set us up for some ebooks at Oxford Owl.  Just follow the link below.  The username for the class login is vista, and the password is... vista.  Just wanted to make it easy!  I know it is more online activities, so don't forget to just read "real" books from home.

Ready for the day? 

Here comes Joe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plBUgyWd3Ug

Maths (it's challenge day) https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

No Nearpod for English, today I want you to practice spellings!  Not just any spellings: spelling/writing numbers up to 1000.  There is a worksheet just above to help you.

I might add a virtual trip on this page later on....

14-05-2020

Good morning my little writers!  I very much enjoyed reading your work yesterday and I absolutely love your beautiful collaborative board so here is the link if you want to look at it with your adults:

https://collaborative.nearpod.com/reports/307484687/85e3db65d965ec591ba9826cb62d75a9

Of course, your Nearpod codes are valid for at least 2 weeks so you can always go back to an old lesson and look through it if you wish!

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.  I have had the opportunity to see some of his work in Spain a long time ago: it looks a bit crazy!

Don't forget to go out and get some sun!

Remember: if there is too much english work in the Nearpod, just do what you can.  You can always jump a lesson if you want.

I put all the maths worksheet on this page on Monday, so scroll down if you need them.

A bit more coding this afternoon?  Or what about making a den and reading a book? I might do just that... Don't forget to tidy up afterward!

12-05-2020

Look! The sun is back!  Still a bit cold though...

Feel like dancing?  What about a dance class instead of Joe Wicks for today?

Good morning and welcome to Week 4!  I hope you have had a lovely weekend full of safe partying and chocolate cakes.  

Ready for the week?  Let's start!

The science lesson is about Rocks and it is not easy, so if you find it difficult, jump straight to the video at the end of the presentation.  I will post later on a "knowledge organiser" which recaps everything we will look at (or would have looked at) over a few weeks.

I will also post the worksheets that go with your Maths lessons this week.

Have a lovely day and don't get blown by the wind when you go for a walk!

French Nearpod code: MKHCZ

I have also added some more VE day activities (part 2 just below).  Did you have a go yesterday?

My children made the scones, but without the potatoes:

We will have a go at the bunting today.

I will send some work tomorrow for the ones who want to.  If you do anything amazing this weekend and you want your pictures on our class page, make sure your parents tell me so when they send the pictures.

Finally, we are doing so well on our tournament: some of you have turned into amazing times tables machines!  Well done!

Mrs Langford

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!

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 , so here the Nearpod code for English: NVSUC

English Nearpod code: WSOTX    It's a bit of a different challenge today.

Maths week 2 lesson 4: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/more problem solving ()

If it is getting too hard or just a bit complicated, jump to timestable.co.uk and practice your times tables or your arithmetic instead.  We can always catch up on fractions later.

Finally... a lesson I would have loved to do with you: Skara Brae! 

Here is the Nearpod code: IBEKM  and thank you to Mr Young for putting this lesson together.

Missing you loads, take care and stay safe.

Welcome to week 2 of Summer term.  I hope you have had a lovely weekend.  Thank you to all the parents who have emailed me recently, it was lovely to hear from you and to know you are well and safe.  If you have not been in contact in the last few weeks, send me a quick email so I know you are doing fine.

Today, we keep reading the adventures of Stig and Barney; we will then do a variety of activities set up by the Oak Academy.  I remind you that to join our Nearpod lessons, just go to: 

https://nearpod.com/student/   then enter the code provided.  Did you know you can access it from an XBox? (No children, that does not mean you need an XBox...)

Let's start with some exercise! If you want something a bit different than Joe Wicks, you can try Coach Wood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDTpdOEsqAc

It's Friday!  Today's work is a little bit different.  I went for a long walk yesterday and I discovered this in the woods:

Doesn't it look like Stig's home?

I hope it inspires you because for English, today, we are writing a story!

Here is the Nearpod code to help you: FWXJY

Maths is also different because White Rose Maths have joined with the BBC and set up a big challenge.  Here is the link:

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

Only questions 1,2,3 and 4...  The rest is for older children but you are welcome to have a go!

And finally, Year 3 is taking a little trip to... France!  Mr Young has found this great virtual trip on Nearpod.  The code is: EMYSH.

Have a lovely weekend, stay safe, have fun and do something extra special for your grown ups who are all working very hard for you.
