YEAR 3 HOME LEARNINGW/C 13.7.20

It was so great to see some of your work last week, thank you for the e-mails. Keep them coming! We appreciate your efforts to help your children with home learning and we know that many of you have your own work pressures, so as previously; the message is to do what you can, when you can.We would love to be able to give a little more feedback so we would encourage you to send pictures or documents of writing and foundation subject work to claire.donoghue@schools.sunderland.gov.uk in our school office who will then be pass it on to the year group leaders for feedback.

We will be hosting another end of week catch up this week and we are hoping to enable your child’s own class teacher to be able to host the chat, however, bear with us as our IT firewall needs to be adjusted to allow teachers to make these video calls from school and this could take some time. If it is not up and running in school by the end of the week then the teachers working from home will continue to host the chats. The chat time, date and link will be sent via Marvellous Me. To able to access these virtual chats you will need a Google Account (free). Please ensure that the username is the child’s name to enable us to take a register. You simply click on the link (or copy and paste it into Google) at the correct time and wait for the teacher to let you in the meeting. Meetings will take place on Thursdays or Fridays to give people a chance to have completed work and have something ready to share. The teacher might even test a few of the spellings you’ve been learning! There will also be a midweek ‘drop in’ session for each year group to allow you to ask any questions you may have about the week’s learning before the end of week session.

This timetable shows the home learning tasks to be completed over the course of the week.Answers to the SPaG tasks will be sent along with next week’s timetable.

This week’s poem for handwriting:

Be the Best of What You AreDouglas Malloch

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley — but beThe best little scrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass, And some highway happier make;If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass — But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew, There's something for all of us here,There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do, And the task you must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail, If you can't be the sun be a star;It isn't by size that you win or you fail — Be the best of whatever you are!
