Hello Year 3,

As usual, it has been fabulous to hear from so many of you. From the work we have received, we can tell that you have enjoyed this week’s theme ‘Robots of Robert Miles!’ We have seen a huge variety of wonderful work including some very imaginative Robot designs and models. We have also been pleased to hear how you are getting on with your Maths, English, reading , Spelling Frame and Times Tables Rock Stars.

This week’s Battle of the Bands was the most exciting and closely fought battle so far! It was great to see so many of you competing so well. Year 4 were the overall winners, but I think we should invite them to a re-match at some point! Next week, our battle of the bands will be a re-match of our own: 3B v 3P. Good luck everyone!

This week’s whole school theme is ‘Healthy Lives’. There are lots of exciting activities for you to choose from, which you can easily access on our website www.rmjslearning.co.uk. We can’t wait to see what you tackle! We are especially excited about our VIRTUAL SPORTS DAY - Make sure you read our PE section to find out more!

Maths

This week, the main White Rose focus is money. There is a lesson for every day of the week for you to complete. Click Here to access their website.

This week, go to Summer Term Week 3:

Week 3. Lesson 1: Convert Pounds and Pence

Week 3. Lesson 2: Add Money

Week 3. Lesson 3: Subtract Money

Week 3. Lesson 4: Multiply and Divide by 3

Week 3. Lesson 5: Friday Maths Challenge

If you are finding this too tricky, go back to the Year 2 work for the same week. This will really help your understanding. You might also want to look at I See Maths to find more lessons, BBC Bitesize or Oak National Academy.

Further or alternative ideas (no printing required)

Keep your skills going by answering the Maths workout for the day. Apply your knowledge to solve a Maths puzzle:

Got It! Some more White Rose problems of the day UK Coins and Counting You can also find lots of puzzles on Nrich, Solvemoji or White Rose’s problem of the day.

Revise your number facts using Times Table Rockstars, Hit the Button or Daily 10.

Times Tables

This week’s new Battle of the Bands will be 3B v 3P. We think this will be close battle! Remember that practicing little and often is better than doing one big block.

English

Hopefully, you have enjoyed lots of reading this week! Some of you have continued to

read to grandparent using online video, which is wonderful. If you haven’t done so already, remember

to check out Storytime on our website, including the section Stories at RMJS.

Remember to keep up your daily reading record in your reading diaries.

There is not a new ‘Talking for Writing’ unit this week. This week’s suggested lessons are below:

Spelling Well done to those children who have enjoyed practising your weekly spellings. It’s good to hear that

many of you are doing so well. Keep up the hard work. Click on Spelling Frame (Year 3/4 ) to go straight to this week’s spellings.

This week we would like you to look at:

Spelling Rule 5 - Prefixes: ir, in, anti, auto irresponsible, irrelevant, intercity, interact, international, interrelated, anticlockwise,

antiseptic, antisocial, autobiography, autograph

If you have access to the internet, please continue to use your password to play on all the games to help you learn your weekly spellings and spelling rules.

Monday/Tuesday - Spelling Tiles: Choose from these activities to help you to learn the spellings for this week. Wednesday - Games: Have a go at playing some of the games e.g. Spelling Maze Monsters. Thursday - Practice: have a go at the ‘practice’ section - click on ‘practice/test’ and then ‘begin practice’. Friday - Test: have a go at the test - click on ‘practice/test’ and then ‘begin test’. If you don’t get them all right, perhaps have another go and see if you can beat your previous score.

To help your spelling without using the internet, you could also: • write a story using each spelling word. • use your spelling words to have a go at playing hangman with somebody at home. • write each spelling word out and trace over and over it in rainbow colours.

We hope you have a super week and enjoy lots of the activities we have recommended. We really enjoy reading your emails and hearing about what you have been doing.

Good luck to everyone for our exciting sports day challenges on

Wednesday. Which house will be this year’s overall winner?

Take care everyone.

Mrs Broster, Mr Powley and Mrs King.

RMJS Virtual Sports Day

Wednesday 20th May 2020

We are so excited to be holding our first ever Virtual Sports Day on Wednesday 20th May 2020.

We are hoping it will be an exciting morning filled with fun activities for you to enjoy in your own

home or garden. The format will be simple. Put on a t-shirt to represent your house (red, yellow,

green or blue) and grab a bottle of water. There will be 20 exercises to complete. Each exercise

will take no more than one minute. You will gain either 5, 10 or 15 points depending on the num-

ber of repetitions or time taken. Work your way through the exercises and record your scores. An

exercise and score sheet can be found here. Don’t worry if you can’t print it; just record your scores

on a piece of paper. Maybe you could compete against another family member if you are feeling

extra competitive! When you have completed all the activities, total your scores and send them to

Mr Gilbey. He will be sending a text and an email with the link on Tuesday after school. We would

love to see any photos of you taking part - please send them to Mrs Mosley, Mr Gilbey or your class

teacher.

Finally, a huge well done to Jasmine, Ava, Harriet, Rory, James and Adam whose ideas helped

shape our sports day. They all receive a gold star worth 10 house points - well done!
