Year 3 – Monday 20th April 2020
Welcome Back!
We hope you had a lovely Easter holidays full of chocolate, fun and sunshine and are now ready for some more home learning.
We will be updating the blog with English, Maths and wider curriculum tasks every day at 9am.
We’re starting a few new topics as it’s the beginning of a new term so we hope you will enjoy all of the tasks you have been set.
If you didn’t finish all of the work in your learning packs which we sent home then feel free to continue with these.
Don’t forget, we don’t expect you to be doing school work all day, every day!
It’s important to take regular breaks, get outside and stay healthy (especially if the sunshine continues).
If you can’t get outside, Joe Wicks is still doing his Youtube P.E. lessons on his Youtube channel every morning at 9am.
Find them here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ
We look forward to seeing your responses throughout the week.
Mrs Beckwith, Miss Lindop, Miss Barden and Miss Willmer.
Here are today’s tasks:
Reading:
Read this passage and answer the questions in full sentences underneath.
Tom’s exciting morning
Tom woke up early. He knew the taxi was just around the corner. He felt like it was Christmas morning but is was the middle of August. He grabbed his case and knocked on his parents’ door eagerly. They shouted back, “It’s nearly time Thomas, go and wake Olivia up!” Tom ran into his sister’s room and jumped on the bed. They both grinned and chatted about the week ahead.
A little while later, the taxi was outside so Tom grabbed his sunglasses and cap. He chuckled to himself because it was very dark and cold outside! Tom and Olivia sprinted to the back seat of the taxi whilst Mum and Dad threw the suitcases into the boot. Then, Mum made sure Olivia was secure in her special booster seat. Mum also went back inside to get Buster the dog!
Olivia’s face dropped and she poked her brother who also looked worried. “Where are you taking Buster?!” they both said cautiously. Mum smiled, “Just to grandmas. We’re going to be gone for a while!” Their faces relaxed and they giggled at how silly they had been!
As they approached their destination, Olivia tapped her brother on the arm and pointed outside. “They look like giant birds!” she said. Tom thought this was really funny and he laughed with his sister. Mum and Dad looked at their watches. Their faces dropped. They quickly got Olivia out of her seat and put her in her pram. Dad grabbed Tom’s hand and they paid the man quickly.“Come on guys!” Dad said sounding slightly worried.

Here’s today’s question:
Tim finds all the games on his device too easy, so he is going to play an 18 game as it will be harder. Is that a good idea?
- Yes – it will be harder and better for a gamer like Tim.
- No – 18 games aren’t harder, they are made for grown ups.
Why did you give that answer?
Finished all of that? Want something else to do?
