Y 3/4 Blog Friday 7th May 2021

Dear Parents,

Hopefully you have all had a good week, albeit a very short one. 

It is lovely to have all of the children back at school so we can continue with their learning journey. However, some of our children are coming into school extremely tired. This makes it difficult for them to concentrate and engage with their learning. We appreciate that the children have not necessarily had strict routines at home in the previous months but we would urge our children to have regular bedtimes so that we can ensure they are able to make the progress that we know they are capable of. If you have any concerns or need support, please do not hesitate to contact us at our phase email address.

HOMEWORK

Thank you to all those children who completed and shared their homework this week. This week's homework can also be found on Google Classroom

Below is a list of things that we would like you to complete for your homework. You need to complete the Must Do tasks and if you would like to challenge yourself some more, than you can complete the Can Do tasks.

Must Do
1. Practise your times tables. Click on the link below.

2. Read every day for 20 minutes.  
3. Maths Homework - Multiplying by 10 and 100 - an area we all struggle with this week.
Please see below (Choose *  **  ***) You can either print out and take a photo or write out on paper or type out on a Google Document and share it with your teacher please. 
Can Do 
In Science we have begun to learn about Sound. Please can you make your own poster on how we hear sound? Think about how the rice moved when the drum was tapped (vibrations)
It can be done as a Google Document or on a piece of paper and you can bring it into school for our Science display if you wish.

NEXT WEEK

Looking ahead to our lessons next week, we will continue measurement in Maths. We have had to pause converting measures as it soon became apparent that the majority of the children had forgotten how to multiply and divide by 10 and 100. This being the case, we will be refocusing in on length and how to add and subtract measures next week.

In English we are going to be writing a recount about an ancient Egyptian slave. The character of Narkt is one that is inspiring and the children have been engrossed in his life story.

Have a lovely weekend.

Kind regards,

Mrs Hurley, Mr Greenfield & Miss Harvey
