Good Morning Year 3
I can't believe that we are in the 2nd to last week of the school year. It has been a strange year hasn't it? It will certainly be a year that you will remember. I am so pleased that you are all able to come back to school again in September, as a school without lots of children is a strange place to be.
A letter will be put on the school's website today to tell your parents all about what is happening in September - so it is really important that you tell your parents to read it very carefully. It also tells you who your teacher will be next year. 
This is the last full week of work that I will set you, as next week the work will focus on transition activities - things to help you prepare for life in Y4.
Just like last week, I will set you some Maths and English tasks to complete every day and then you can choose at least 1 task from the list below to complete in the afternoons. I have also set a times tables rematch between the boys and the girls to see whether the girls can remain victorious or whether the boys will be the winners this time. 
Maths: The Maths tasks this week all focus on statistics (data). Today's lesson is all about pictograms. Work through the PowerPoint before you try the tasks.
Literacy: Just like last week - Mon, Wed and Fri are reading comprehension activities and Tues and Thurs are spelling tasks. Today's reading comprehension is a non fiction text all about India. It shouldn't take you more than an hour.
Afternoon Tasks: Every afternoon - choose 1 from the list below:
Task 1) I have set you a 2Do on Purple Mash asking you to write me a letter telling me what life has been like for you in Y3. Tell me about your favourite part of the year and tell me about something you haven't enjoyed. Don't forget to write in complete sentences and remember to punctuate your work.
Task 2 ) Science Revision Activities - Plants. Use the games below on Education City to see how much you can remember:
Best Laid Plants Part 1 and Best Laid Plants Part 2 In Bloom ( Plant parts and their function) Granny's Garden ( What plants need to grow) Flower Power ( Function of the parts of a plant)
Task 3) Science Revision Activities - Rocks: Use the games below on Education City to see how much you can remember:
The Dig ( Sorting rocks) Rolling Stones ( Sorting rocks) Mine for Diamonds (Characteristics of rocks)
Task 4) Science Revision Activities - Light: Use the games below on Education City to see how much you can remember:
Lights Out (Sources of light) Sunset (Identifying light sources) High Noon ( How shadows are formed)
Task 5) Technology Challenge 1. Make a safety container for a fresh egg to be dropped from a height of 2metres without it breaking. This is a great activity - it's lots of fun and if your egg breaks, it can get messy 
Send me photos if you have a go.
Task 6) Science/Technology Challenge 2. Make your own rainbow. Follow the instructions on the attached sheet to create your own rainbow.
Task 7) Friday is World Emoji Day. Create your own emoji and send me a photograph. I would love to include them in this week's newsletter ( so send them in before Thursday 
)
Remember to :
Read for 30 mins everyday, unless you complete the Reading Comprehension tasks on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
10 mins on times tables, unless you take part every day in the final tournament/challenge I have set. Last time I set the tournament, the girls beat the boys! Now boys, this is your chance to seek revenge. Girls can you defend your title? Boys are you going to let them beat you again? The tournament closes at lunchtime on Friday. Good luck everyone. I will give you a daily update.
That's all for now Year 3.
Take care; work hard and have a good day.
