WORLD BOOK DAY

To celebrate world book day we are setting you some fun challenges.  Have a look at the grid below to see what options there are.

Today we would like you to think about your favourite character from any book you have read or had read to you.  What do you like about them, is there anything you don’t like?  Can you create a role on the wall, like we did last week, on your favourite character?  Think about what they look like and what they do.

CHALLENGE: Think about what their bedroom might look like.  Can you draw a picture/make a model of their bedroom?  Either write or video an explanation of what is in the room and why.

Mrs Bourdillon (Paddington) has recorded a description of a character from a traditional tale, can you guess which character it is and which tale they come from?  Can you draw the character?

Now let’s have a brain break and move with The Vamps level two challenge

Maths 

If you have completed the work that is on the blog, have a look at the maths pages for some extra work including reasoning questions!

Year 3:  

We have completed all the work on statistics so it is time to take and end of block assessment.  Don’t forget you can look back at previous days videos to remind yourself of anything you have forgotten.  Take your time, think carefully and good luck.

Wider Curriculum:  PE

LI To roll and throw a ball accurately.

Have you every rolled on thrown a ball to someone only for it to go wildly off target?  Maybe someone has passed you a ball and you have had to run a long way to try to catch it?  Throwing and rolling accurately is an important part of racket games. 

In your garden or other outdoor space, set a target.  This could be a hoop, a tree, a jumper, or if you are lucky, another person.  Try to roll a ball along the ground to the target.  Did it go straight?  If not why not?  Is there a lump in the ground or is it on a slope.  What could you do to correct this?  Try throwing the ball, is this easier?  Did you throw it too hard or too soft?

Keep practicing until you can hit the target more often than not.

What did you find hardest?  What was easy?  How could you make it harder/easier?

Have fun!

Nearly the end of day. Now it’s time for a little quiet, prayer and reflection with our Class worship. Click the candle.

Time for a story to finish our day. Click the image and choose one to read.

Well done, that is the end of Thursdays work.  Don’t forget to send your work to the class e-mail address or through Teams, so your teacher will be able to have a look at it and maybe put it on the hub page!
