Mrs Newland's Challenge of the Week - 01.06.20

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you all had a lovely half term. 

Thank you to those who sent their pictures of the toilet roll tube challenge efforts. They were brilliant! You can see pictures of them all if you click on this link:

This week, I would like to create a display/piece of artwork in school to demonstrate what lock down has meant to our community. Perhaps you have learnt a new skill? Perhaps you have discovered somewhere new that is now your favourite place? Perhaps you have been particularly artistic. Perhaps there is one particular thing you have enjoyed doing. 

You could send me a photograph, a picture, a poem, a piece of writing, a collage... The possibilities are endless! Please send me your idea via the message section and/or the Portfolio section of ClassDojo. I will then print them out to use in school. I would really like every child to be represented so get those ideas coming! 

Have a great week everyone.

Topic: Battles and Invasions

Hello Class 3, 

I hope you have had a great half-term week and enjoyed the sunshine!

This week, we are continuing with our topic on the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Scots, specifically focusing on battles and invasions leading up to the Norman Conquest. Think maps, timelines, diagrams and maybe even some slow-motion re-enactments!

You can do as many as these activities as you would like to but it would be great if you could do at least one English, one maths and one other activity duringthe week. You will probably need to start with some research – there are lots of resources at the end of this PowerPoint to help with that.

Please don't be alarmed by the size of the PowerPoint, this is because I have tried to attach lots of printable information and resources on the end for those who do not always have immediate access to a computer for their research. If you would find it easier to look at the English, maths and other challenges separately, you can find these below.

Have fun and let the battles commence!

Topic: Farming and Plants

Hello Class 3, 

Well done for all the amazing work you have been doing about Anglo-Saxons and Vikings so far this term. This week, we are going to link our history topic to our science topic for this term: plants.

Farming was a very important part of Anglo-Saxon life. The Anglo-Saxons had to grow many different plants for food. This week, you are going to find out if you have got what it takes to be an Anglo-Saxon farmer.

It would be great if you could have a go at least one of the science, English and maths activities.

Topic: Myths and Legends

Hello!
I hope you have all had a good weekend and enjoyed the sunshine.

This week, we are going to have a look at myths and legends! This is part of our topic that we would have been doing in school this term.

As usual, below there are lots of different activities so that you can choose which ones to have a go at. I do not expect you to do them all but I encourage you to try and do at least one English, one maths and one other activity during the week.

If you would like to print this document, there are printable versions which do not have any coloured backgrounds.

Have fun learning about myths and legends and I look forward to seeing what you get up to!

All the best,
Miss Mill :)

Topic: Let the Battle Commence! Part 2 - Vikings

Hello Class 3!
In school this term, we are supposed to be learning about what happened in Britain after the Romans left, including the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Scots. I hope you enjoyed learning about the Anglo-Saxons and Scots last week. This week, we are going to focus on the Vikings.

In this PowerPoint there are some activities linked to this topic. All of the activities cover content that we would have been doing in school this term. This week, you have a science/DT project to have a go at. Please also complete at least one English, maths and other activity. There are a few to choose from!

Mrs Newland's VE day challenge

This week, May 8th, is the 75th anniversary of VE day. Below are some activities for you to have a go at! 

Home Learning: Week Beginning 27th April 2020

Topic: Let the Battle Commence! Part 1 - Anglo-Saxons

Hello Class 3!
In school this term, we are supposed to be learning about what happened in Britain after the Romans left, including the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Scots.

This week, we are going to focus on the Anglo-Saxons and Scots (we will be looking at Vikings next week).

Below, there are some activities linked to this topic. All of the activities cover content that we would have been doing in school this term. Please complete the English and maths activities and at least one other activity.

Home Learning: Week Beginning 20th April 2020

Topic: It's a Small World After All

During this challenging time when we cannot be together, it is easy to feel like everyone is very far away. However, we can also look at it another way; we are all a part of this strange situation and we are all in this together – even with people across the world! It can actually feel a bit like the world has got smaller and we are all more connected than ever. In the midst of a bad situation, we have a great opportunity to connect with our households, our communities and our world. So, my challenge to you this week is to do just that – connect with the world.

Below are some different activities to help you connect with the world you live in. Please choose at least 1 English, 1 maths and 1 other activity to have a go at this week. You might also want to come up with your own activities for this challenge. You will get 2 Dojos for each way that you connect with the world.

Keep going Class 3 – you’ve got this!!!

Topic: Three is The Magic Number

As we are Class 3 and this is challenge 3, I thought I would stick to a theme of 3s! In this PowerPoint, there are 21 (a multiple of 3) activities all based around the number 3. Over the next 3 weeks, you might want to try to complete as many of them as you can. You can do the activities in any order and for each activity you complete and upload to your portfolio, you will get 3 Dojos. That means, if you complete all the activities you will get 63 Dojos!!!

There are lots of different types of activities including cooking, craft, drawing, writing, music, problem-solving, sewing, listening to stories, watching videos and even doing some teaching yourselves! These activities cover a whole range of different skills and are intended to be a fun way of covering areas of the curriculum that we either have not yet covered or may need to revise but they are optional so feel free to carry on with your own learning instead if you would rather. Alternatively, if you want to take ideas from these challenges but do them in your own way, that is fine too – whatever works for you! I appreciate that learning at home will look different for everyone.
 

Have fun and I look forward to seeing what you’ve been up to on Class Dojo!
Best wishes,
Miss Mill :)
