Below is a link to a fantastic webpage of outdoor activities. Year 3 were going to be doing many of these during this week. Get outside and have some fun!!!
Year 3 maths problems - a pack of extra maths problems. These DO NOT have to be done but are available to anyone needed/wanting extra tasks.
Do you fancy doing the daily maths challenge???
English
No english this week but take a book into a quiet space outdoors and do some reading. Dojo me a message about the book you're reading and how much you enjoy it. I'm going to take the opportunity this week to read one of my favourite books 'The Umbrella Mouse' by Anna Fargher.
Why not complete this end of year memory task about your time in year 3?
Or create a comic strip version of Fantastic Mr Fox?
I know you love a good wordsearch so here's a summer one...
Or fill in this A to Z of your school year.
What about an English escape room challenge????
Reading
Read your Accelerated Reader book this week.
We also have access to Rising Stars Online Reading Planet (same log in details as during lockdown). The children should now be allocated new books. Please check and let me know if there is a problem via ClassDojo.
** NEW** Fancy doing the daily SPaG challenge???
All our topic work has been finished for the year but why not do a fun activity linked to something we've learnt. Do some baking, build a parthenon, design a greek pot or create another soap sculpture. Remember to send me any pictures of what you do. Whatever you do Year 3 have some fun because you deserve it!
Beach hut escape game
We were going to make a dream catcher. Here's the instructions and if you want to pick up a pack of resources to make it let me know.
I have also put lots of games on Purple Mash so have a look and see if there's anything you fancy doing!
PE
Keeping active in these times is really important, and that’s why #ThisIsPE is a useful way to quickly put together activities and games that will entertain and burn off some of that energy.
The videos are presented by PE teachers and linked to the Primary PE curriculum so it is a fantastic way of educating your children physically at home!
Also a great activity to do is yoga. It is relaxing, calming and really stretches your muscles! Visit ‘Cosmic Kids Yoga’ for some yoga sessions you could try at home.

Or groove along to some Just Dance
