Here’s the link to the Year 3 page https://boundsgreenschool.co.uk/classes/year-3/. These weekly instructions are also kept on our year group page so you can always refer to these via the BGS website to help you with your home learning.

We hope that you will have a go at some of these as well as completing the work we set for you. Have a good week, we are thinking of you, Layla, Vicky, Makeda & Rosie ● Everyday: o 30 minutes of Reading o 15 minutes of handwriting practice: practise your handwriting by writing your spellings into your purple handwriting book and then write a series of sentences including each of your spelling words. Remember to use perfect punctuation! You could also try copying out a poem or rhyme. o 15 minutes of times tables practice: either play card games and/or play times table games on Purple Mash. Practise your 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 times table. When you are confident with these, move on to your 6s and 8s. o 15 minutes of spelling practice for the weekly spelling test which is detailed below. We expect you to practise your spellings as you normally would, therefore the spelling test will be open from Thursday onwards. This will give you time to learn the words before you take the test. ● Once a week: o Reading Blog: A blog is a way of sharing information and opinions. When you log onto Purple Mash, click on the ‘Sharing icon’ and then on ‘Shared Blogs’ there you will see ‘Redbridge Reading Blog’ or ‘London Bridge Reading Blog’ or ‘Putney Bridge Reading Blog’ click on your class to access it This week please continue with your weekly blogging. We will be checking the blog regularly in order to approve posts. We will only approve posts that have been checked first for punctuation and spelling. Some prompts to help you: - Who is the author/ illustrator? - Why you liked/ disliked about the book? - Who was your favourite character? / What was your favourite part? - Would you recommend it to a friend and why? Please click the green add button in the top right corner to create your post. We will be asking you to create a review of what you have read each week. Once you have written your own review, you could have a go at writing some positive comments on other people’s posts.

Online ICT Activity: 2Type
We are all so happy to hear just how many of you are thoroughly enjoying the 2Type course! We are confident this course will help you improve both accuracy and speed in your typing. This week you will continue with the course with a focus on ‘Left little finger’. We hope the activities bring you as much enjoyment and success as last week. Remember, before you complete any of the set 2dos, please always re-watch both introductory videos. These cannot be set as 2dos, so you will need to follow the below instructions again to re-watch them:
1. Go to the homepage of Purple Mash. 2. Type '2type' into the search bar and click ‘2type’ (the hand icon). 3. Watch the first two videos titled: Posture Tips and Typing Instructions. 4. One you have watched both videos have a go at the set 2dos in the order they are titled.
Geography/Art – Creating your own illustrated map of the UK
This week we’re merging art and geography and you are going to be using your knowledge of the UK and
its countries, cities and rivers. Using this knowledge and some additional research, we would like you to
draw an illustrated map of the UK.
You should follow these steps:
1. Draw an outline of the UK (remember there is an extra country just to the west – don't forget to
draw it in). If you find this tricky, you could print one out and trace around it or click on this link
and there is a video that will help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rw_8ph7a-k
2. Using research that you can do online, add the main countries in the UK and draw in their borders.
You could write each one in a different colour to make it stand out. Remember, countries are
usually written in bigger letters to stand out.
3. Find out where the capital cities are in each of these countries and add them to your map. These
are written in smaller letters than the countries but must still stand out.
4. Find out one or two facts about each capital city and use these facts to draw/illustrate your map.
For example, in London you could draw Big Ben or Houses of Parliament.
Challenge/Extension
Can you add the main river in each of the cities to your map?
Can you find Lyme Regis and add it to your map. Maybe you could do an extra drawing of
something related to Mary Anning in the right spot on your map.
