Final Friday of school! Today's theme is Picnic and we would love to see photos of you all having a picnic, at home or in your local park.
We are truly proud of all of you this year. It isn't what we all expected when we started the year and we know it has been tough at home trying to learn. Well done for all you have achieved. We can't wait to see your faces in September.
English Task
Today’s theme is picnics and so I’ve picked an extract from a book where they go on a picnic. Theres an extract below to watch from “Daisy and the trouble with Maggots” by Kes Gray. Daisy goes for a picnic and a fishing trip with her uncle and gets in to all sorts of trouble!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYA0r6TammY
As you listen to today’s extract or a afterwards if you’d prefer to focus on listening, I would like you to create a poster about reading and what you like about reading and why you think it’s good. If you make some really good ones we might even display them in our reading corners for the new year 3’s!
Maths Task
Watch the video about lines of symmetry and then either print out the sheet or draw capital letters to find out which have lines of symmetry. Then go onto your 2Dos on Purple Mash (Reflections) to make your own symmetrical patterns.
Other Task
It’s the end of the school year! It’s been a very strange year for everybody and lockdown has meant that you have spent almost half of your year 3 learning at home. Nobody could have guessed this would happen. We are so proud of you all and all the learning you have done this year. It would be easy to only remember the fact that you missed half of the year and that it has been hard in lockdown. BUT that would be a disservice to all the fun and great things you did do before lockdown and infact during lockdown.
So today I would like you to take some time to reflect over the year, think about what have you done during year 3 and what has been good about it.
To help you do this I’d like you first to just listen to this short audio meditation that will help you calm down, clear your mind and stop.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldFD-L-Csz0
Then I’d like you think back over the year, think about that first day in year 3, coming in to class and meeting your teachers and then think about any highlights from the year. See if you can write down a list of 5 things from year 3 that you are glad happened/that you are proud of. Maybe you went on a good trip, maybe your maths really improved or you made a new friend? Then I’d like you think about coming back to school, what would you like to do in year 4? Can you write down 2 things that you want to achieve in year 4.
16.07.20
Good Morning! I LOVE your photos of disguises from the other day, it was fantastic to start work yesterday afternoon and see how well you had joined in with one of the tasks we had set you. Two more days of home learning and then you have officially finished year 3! Woweee

Now I’d love you to think of something that has happened during lockdown, it might be something funny or something that isn’t funny but that could be made funny by the way you tell the story. So have you managed to trick a sibling or your parents, have you lost a pet and found it in a funny place? Once you’ve thought of your story I’d like you to turn it into a short comic strip.
I’ve included a template here but don’t worry if you can’t print it out, it’s quite simple to draw your own out.

Today’s other curriculum task is a computing task. I want us to think a bit about online safety today. Lots of the websites and apps we use require us to have a password. Think about your purple mash or sparx. You have your own password for these, I imagine you do for other online games and activities you spend time on as well.
Passwords are important, but why? Thinking about your Purple Mash account have a think about the following questions:
• What happens if someone logs in with your username and password?
• Why would the teacher still think it was you?
• Why is it important to have a password that no one will know or guess?
• Why is it good to have numbers and characters in your password?
• Should you use your name, your street, your birthday or your phone number as your password because they are easy to remember?
• What other things do you use the Internet for, that you might need a password for?
Now head over to Purple Mash where I have set you a 2do to create an online safety poster. If you have forgotten your purple mash log in email the Year3 address and we can help you.

Today we are going to complete a Friction Investigation. Remember that on Wednesday we learnt that Friction is a force between two surfaces that are sliding (or trying to) along each other. When there is more friction it is harder for the two things to slide along/move. When there is less friction the items move faster/more easily. I’d like you to complete the investigation that is explained in the document below.

You should have received information from Miss Hardinge about slightly different contact arrangements. For those who didn't see this here is the information again.
Home learning will be set as usual on the website but will now need to be sent to year3teachers@whiptonbarton.org. The teachers will pick it up from this address and respond to you in the same way they have currently been doing. Miss Pringle will not be working for the first week of June but will return after that. For that first week, Mrs Crocock and Mrs Walker will respond to all Year 3 emails.
We have started our '30 Days Wild' which is a programme set up by The Devon Wildlife Trust. We usually have great fun with this at school but it has been adapted for children to do at home this year. Please look each day at the tab on the school website under home learning. A 30 Days Wild tab has been added. Each day there will be a new challenge. You don't have to do it everyday, but there might be something that you fancy trying. We will be collecting photos of children completing these challenges so that we can add them to the blog. Please send any photos to your teacher.
Here is your home learning for today. Please remember to email some of your work each week. We look forward to seeing what you get up to!
English Task
To start off this week, we are going to be going over some homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings and are spelt differently) and some other words that year 3 children often spell incorrectly!
I have written each in a sentence and underlined the word to focus on. Read through each sentence and copy the word in bold into a list. Next, write you own sentence for each word, making sure that you have used it in the correct way.
These are also your spellings for the week so make sure that you know how to spell them and the meanings of each ready for a test on Friday!
