Year 3: Some information for this week

Hello everyone. Well that definitely isn't the start of the Spring term that we were expecting! It's such a shame that we are in this situation again but we must all keep in touch and try and stay positive for the children. 

I have been really impressed with the learning that is happening at home already. On Tuesday the children will have home learning that has been set by me (Mrs Thorpe). I have tried to add in some videos to explain to the children what it is I would like them to do. I've also tried not to make all of it technology based. I know obviously having a mixture of the both is very helpful for you at home, especially if you are trying to juggle your own work. Please do keep us updated with any suggestions on ways to help with the online learning and please don't feel the pressure to go through everything. One thing I would say is that it would be best not to go ahead of what we have set in Power Maths and RWI Spellings. This is because when we all come back together we will set off again all from the same point. If some of the PM books haven't been completed then we can catch up on this but we'd rather you not rush through the book but keep to what we have set. 

On the timetable next week there are hyperlinks to the learning tasks and videos. On the Power Maths section there is the Discover and Share and the Think Together hyperlink. This would be good to work through with your child on as it explains how to work through the learning in the lesson. The children should then be able to work through the one lesson hopefully with less help in their books. 

I've sent everyone at home a zoom code for Wednesday pm. This zoom gathering will happen at the same time every week. If you can't make the meeting then do not worry but it would be great to talk with all the children in small groups then. 

We hope you have a lovely restful weekend and manage to get some daily exercise in this chilly weather. 

Sending lots of positivity and togetherness. Everyone in the Year 3 team is here for you all. Please do not hesitate to get in contact whenever you need to.
