Year 3 (almost Year 4!)
Hello Year 3 (almost Year 4!)
Summer 2020
Mr Walker here. I hope that you all have a great summer! The most important thing is to relax, have fun and get ready to learn back in school in September. I am really looking forward to having you all in Year 4!
Enjoy the holidays and get ready for school in September. Do keep practising your times tables and read as often as you can. Below are some learning ideas:
Times tables challenges are set on Sumdog for each week of the holidays.
Year 3 - Maths and English revision booklets - soft copies of these are available below.
Online reading books can be found on www.oxfordowl.co.uk - this is free to register and the ebooks are the same as those we have in school. Search by age or colour band.
The NRICH website is also great for an extra challenge - https://nrich.maths.org/public/topic.php?group_id=76&code=-841
If you are seeking online lessons there are lots of super ones on Oak National Academy - https://classroom.thenational.academy/subjects-by-year/year-3
There are resources to help with spelling on the Year 4 class page (Grammar & Spelling Part 4). The letterjoin website (www.letterjoin.co.uk) is good for practising handwriting and also spelling/phonics. Instructions for logging on can be found on the front page of the Weekly Activity documents on the Year 4 class page.
To save ink and paper see if you can complete the activities without printing them out. Using an exercise book or pad for maths and English would help with this.
See you in September!
Mr Walker
