Good morning little superstars! Wow, Wednesday already! I can’t quite believe how fast time is going by even though we are at home. Please do send in your work and any activities that are you doing to the class email address (class3@netherthongprimary.co.uk), I love receiving them and will create a gallery on a Friday! In preparation for the Lego challenge today, myself, my mum and Grandma made homemade pizzas last night! We used a pre-made mix (gluten free of course!) where we just had to add a little vegetable oil and water. Mum and I put peppers and mushrooms on and my Grandma put pepperoni on. Let me know what you think …

Perhaps you could try making your own pizzas? Here is a link to a recipe which doesn’t use yeast as you may not have this in your cupboard:

How did you get on with your planning yesterday? Today you are going to write the end to the story! Here is a reminder of how it started …
It was late evening, almost dark. “I think I left my ball in the playground. Let’s just go and get it before we go home,” said Tom to Suraj. They squeezed through the gap in the fence into the playground. It was a great safe place to kick a football round without people complaining about it hitting their cars. “What on earth is that!” exclaimed Suraj. A bright green light filled the sky just above the playground and it seemed to be dropping down in front of them. “Flying saucer! It’s a flying saucer!” gasped Tom.
Budding authors, it is time for you to start! Remember to use all of the grammar, spelling and features of a good piece of writing you have learned so far in year 3! Good luck …
Thought I would sneak art in today as well as later in the week! After you have finished your story, can you draw a picture of what Tom and Suraj saw? Will the flying saucer be giant or miniscule? Terrifying or exciting?
French;
Bonjour, ça va? Today in French we are going to be looking at the French colours. I have had a look and saw you recapped some before Easter so this should be fun for you to do. Can you write the correct name of the French colours before you colour the paint splats in the correct colour? Find the sheet here.
Bon voyage for now year 3!
Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do …
We are all missing you greatly but love the pictures of you with your work that you keep sending!
Enjoy the lovely weather and stay safe!

Read the following extract:
It was late evening, almost dark. “I think I left my ball in the playground. Let’s just go and get it before we go home,” said Tom to Suraj. They squeezed through the gap in the fence into the playground. It was a great safe place to kick a football round without people complaining about it hitting their cars. “What on earth is that!” exclaimed Suraj. A bright green light filled the sky just above the playground and it seemed to be dropping down in front of them. “Flying saucer! It’s a flying saucer!” gasped Tom.
Your task over the next couple of days is to continue the story, explaining what happens when the flying saucer lands …
Today, I would like you to plan your story. Think about the opening sentence, what happens next and how the story ends. Here is a planning sheet as an example.
Computing/PSHE;
On PurpleMash, can you make a virtual card for Mrs Matthews. Can you write a lovely message or poem for her? I have set a card template as a 2Do for you! I will make sure she gets a copy of these, here is mine I have done …
Music;
Here is something fun for you do to, learn the lyrics to your favourite song. This could be a current song or one you just love! Rehearse these then, put on a show for everyone in your house. Can you get anyone else involved? One of my favourite songs is Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves so I will be giving my mum and Grandma a lovely rendition of this, wish me luck!!
Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do …
Have a lovely day and try to enjoy every moment!

Good morning everyone, Miss H here!
I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and didn’t each too much chocolate! In between enjoying the glorious weather, I have been spending time painting. For Christmas, my sister got me a colour by numbers canvas to paint with a picture of a dog (She said that she had finally got me what I always wanted, my own dog!). I started this over the Christmas holiday but have not had the chance to add to it. I have found this so therapeutic and many hours have been lost while I have painted listening to music on the radio. Here is what it is going to look like …
Here is what mine looks like so far …
What do you think? What have you been doing to relax over this most turbulent time? Send me an email showing me!
Here is the suggested timetable for the day:

Activity;
Reading comprehension;
Please keep reading 1 to 1 with an adult every day; this will not only improve your reading skills, but also your creative writing. Remember, authors ‘magpie’ ideas from each other all the time! Whenever you read please ask whoever you are reading to, to ask you lots of comprehension questions as you read.
Choose one activity from your pack or try this comprehension about garden birds. I have been paying quite a lot of attention to the birds that have been appearing in my Grandma’s back garden as everywhere is so quiet, you can really hear all of the different birds, especially Robins and Blackbirds. What birds can you see? Maybe you could record the different bird you see in a day in a table?
Geography
You are going to be starting a new topic of UK geography this half term. The UK stands for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Can you write down which countries make up the UK? Now write down which countries make up Great Britain?
Using an atlas or a map of the UK on the internet, can you label all the different cities shown on this map here.
An extra challenge: Can you find the town you live in and label it on the map?
Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do …
Have fun!
Keep sending your lovely emails and photos! Please don't hesitate to email me to let me know if you are having any difficulties with any of the activities. I am here to help!
Stay safe!

Happy Easter! 10.4.20
admin on: Class 3
Happy Easter everyone!
Let's hope the sun continues to shine and you all have a fabulous Easter weekend; with lots of very tasty chocolate!!
Here's a couple of extra challenges for you!
Easter Egg Hunt;
Why not create your own Easter Egg hunt for someone else in your family? It might be for Mum or Dad or perhaps a younger sister or brother! You'll need some tasty treats for them to find; it could be small chocolate eggs, mini eggs, chocolate buttons or other tasty treats. You could even have fun wrapping up the treats (perhaps a bundle of mini eggs in each); it makes it more exciting! You'd need to decide on different hiding places for your treats/eggs and write clues to guide the 'egg hunter' to each one. You'll need an initial clue to help them find your first hidden treat and then your next clue should be with the first treat, guiding the hunters to your next hidden treat......and so it goes on!!
Domino fun!!
Your second Easter challenge is to build a 'domino run'; lining up the dominoes on their ends so that when one topples over, the rest gradually follow. If you have more than one box, use them all! If you have a 'marble run' you may want to use it to begin your course. Can you create a tricky 'domino run'? You may get so good at lining them up that you can build the run to go over obstacles or from one level to another. Have a go and see how many you can successfully set up along a tricky route before then watching them all gradually topple over one by one. Who can build the longest successful 'domino run'?
Have lots of fun and a great weekend and please don't forget to send me any photos of your challenges in action!!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews
Another Year 3 challenge!! 8.3.20
admin on: Class 3
Good afternoon super team!
Time for another challenge!!
But first, here's Alfie's Spaghetti Challenge successfully completed! He enjoyed a fruit kebab to celebrate too!!
Now here's another Easter hols challenge for you!
Do you happen to have a pack of playing cards handy?
Can you build a playing card pyramid? It's very tricky indeed so you will need to involve other family members! You may decide you are so good at it you could have a family competition or even a class 3 competition!!
Who can build the tallest pyramid?
Don't get cross if it keeps falling down, just take a photo and post it on the blog!!
A non-slippery, but flat surface is the best place to start.
Enjoy!!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews
