Y3, you have chosen your organ to research and in class you started your J2e document which will be your slideshow.

This week and over the holidays you need to find information and prepare some props to show your audience. Finish your slideshow, this may just be 2 pages on J2e but you can show off your ICT skills.

Look at the last post on our blog about this project. On the second page is the success criteria you came up with as a class, this will help you to try and include everything you need.

If some of you are ready first week back after the holidays, you will have the opportunity to present straight away and get it over and done with!!! If not they will begin second week back and everyone will present in that week.

You have times table targets to work on but don’t forget to continue telling the time on an analogue clock and if you feel ready you can start to look and learn to tell the time on a 12 hour digital clock. We will work on digital time in class over the next few weeks once we all have a good grasp of analogue. Thank you for your support in this tricky topic.

Year 3 must continue to work on telling the time on an analogue clock, they can use the clock they have made in class to work on this. Really pleased to see so many wearing watches this week and making the effort to tell the time. Teaching and learning to tell the time is really difficult and we need to support our children to do this. Work on targets set but then move onto the next set of skills , for example telling the time using a digital clock. In Year 3 pupils should be able to tell the time on an analogue clock and on a 12 hour digital clock using am and pm. In class need to use these skills for problem solving and using timetables.

Year 3 have a double sheet of clock faces to work on telling the time. These can be kept inside homework books.

Please continue to read Bug club books at home and don’t forget www.activelearn.co.uk to read these books online and to answer questions to work on their comprehension skills. In May Year 3 will have the statutory reading test again with 2 pieces of text and questions to answer on both. Thank you for your support.

You have investigated the prefixes ‘in’ and ‘im’ today in class and know that they mean ‘not’. They are put in front of the word to mean not  ______.

e.g.,    If the word is ‘active’  and ‘in’ is added in front of it, it means ‘not active’

Try your best to learn these words ready for Tuesday 2nd May (Monday is a bank holiday) :

proper     improper
mature    immature
patient    impatient
polite      impolite

attentive          inattentive
convenient    inconvenient
accurate        inaccurate
