Morning year 3! Things are strange at the moment and sometimes everything going on can make us feel sad but there are lots of reasons to be happy. I would like you to think of three reasons that you are happy today- it could be anything! It could be that the sun is shining, it could be that you are reading a great book, it may be family or friends that you have in your life . You can write them on the purple mash blog :)  I want to start by saying a huge thank you to all of you for emailing in your learning and for saving it onto the purple mash system. It is so nice to see you all becoming more confident with posting on the purple mash blog- keeping looking at Marion's tips at the top if you get stuck. Remember this is there for you to ask questions and to post your learning!  Ramadan Mubarak to everyone celebrating the holy of Ramadan. Samirah posted this poster that she made at home. Thank you for sharing Samirah :) It is beautiful. Year 3 I have to confess I have not been very good at uploading the amazing learning that you have been sending me. I am going to spend today gathering all of the photos and videos that you have sent me over the last week and tomorrows blog post will be really big. Thank you for sending me pictures of your learning and what you have been up to. It is so nice to hear from you. So onto today's learning. |

Our own number system, is made of the ten symbols {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} and is called the Hindu-Arabic system. however we have learnt about another system called Roman Numerals- It is important to know how to read numerals. Where have you seen Roman numerals before?
On coins, clock faces and on buildings. Above is a power point that revises the Roman numbers up to the number 12. I will post the answers tomorrow.

In the next part of the text the old man dreams of living in a jungle.
Why do you think that he dreams of living in the jungle?
As part of your English learning I would like you to draw what you think he imagines when he dreams of living in the jungle. Use the picture, video and description from the book of all the animals he dreams of to help draw the jungle.

Good morning campers ! I am trying to organise to do a book swap every Tuesday when I am in school so that you can get new books- I will be letting you know about details about this- we are thinking about how to do this while keeping social distancing rules. Watch this space :)
Doing your learning from home might means that you might need to create a timetable to organise your time - you may have already done this but check out Emily's blog to give you inspiration for how you might want to structure your time (it means you make time for work and play):

Read this extract and then have a go at the vocabulary task and the question that I have asked you to answer.
Read this extract and then have a go at the vocabulary task and the question that I have asked you to answer.
I was a Rat!
By Philip Pullman
Old Bob and his wife Joan lived by the market in the house where his father and his grandfather and great grandfather had lived before him, builders all of them, and building was Bob`s job too. Joan was a cleaner, like her mother and her grandmother and her great-grandmother, back as far as anyone could remember.
And if they`d had a son, he would have become a builder in his turn, and if they`d had a daughter, she would have learned the cleaning trade, and the world would have gone on. But they never had a child, whether boy or girl, and now they were getting old, it seemed less and less likely that they ever would, as much as they would have liked to.
One evening as old Joan wrote a letter to her niece and old Bob sat sharpening his tools, there came a knock at the door. Bob looked up with a jump. “Was that someone knocking?” he said. “What`s the time?” The cuckoo clock answered him before Joan could: ten o`clock. As soon as it had finished cuckooing, there came another knock, louder than before. Bob lit a candle and went through the dark house to unlock the front door.
Standing in the moonlight was a little boy in a page`s uniform. It had once been smart, but it was sorely torn and stained, and the boy`s face was scratched and grubby. “Bless my soul!” said Bob. “Who are you?”
“I was a rat,” said the little boy.
“What did you say?” said Joan, crowding in behind her husband.
“I was a rat,” said the little boy again.
Task for today
Read the extract- tell an adult verbally what has happened in this part of the story. Look at the power point below- it explores some of the language in the story and asks you to do different things with each word. The tasks that it asks you to complete are act it out- can you act the word out to an adult and they have to guess what the word is? Put the word in a sentence of your own ( read the sentence out loud after you have written it to check that it makes sense), Finding a synonym for the word, find an antonym for the word and check the meaning of the word (clarify the meaning).
What do you think the boy means when he says he 'was' a rat?

Role on the wall
Today you are going to create a role on the wall of the old man- we have done this a lot in school. What have we found out about the man ? Re read the story to remind yourself. Below is what a role on the wall looks like- it is a figure and on the inside you think about how the man feels and on the outside you think about the outward appearance, Think about using ambitious vocabulary to describe the man's feelings. For example instead of using sad you could use a thesaurus (use an online one if you don't have one at home) to find a synonym for the word sad that is more exciting. Below is an example of what a role on the wall looks like.

Geography
Yesterday you used google maps to have a look at your local area and you found the small and large green spaces near you.- it is important that you know where the green spaces near you are!
I am going to introduce a new word today - URBAN.
What does urban mean?
An urban area is an area where many people live and work close together. The population density is higher than in the surrounding area. It is where buildings are close together. Urban is the opposite of rural, where farm lands and nature are.
Do you live in an urban area? How do you know? Think about where you live and what you see to help you explain. You can use google maps to remind yourself of where you live- if you click on the little man and drop him on the map on a certain street it gives you street view.
I live in an urban area ..... I know this because
Lastly can you spot the 10 differences between these two pictures? I wil post the answers tomorrow.

Below are some learning activities and a couple of fun things for you to do over the weekend! Please make sure you are getting out and doing exercise. I am going for a runs and cycling through my local park every day and this is completely fine because I am making sure that I always social distance. Please don't feel that it is unsafe to go outside - it is fine to do this as long as you follow the following guidelines:
- remember your social distancing (some people aren't very good at doing this so you have to be aware and move so that you are at a safe distance from them)
- don't touch anything while you are outside (if you touch anything- use hand sanitiser)
- don't meet other people when you are out
- don't stop and sit on a park bench- keep moving at all times
- when you get home from being outside wash you hands as soon as you come back in
- remember your social distancing (some people aren't very good at doing this so you have to be aware and move so that you are at a safe distance from them)
- don't touch anything while you are outside (if you touch anything- use hand sanitiser)

e way I would like you to structure your story is as follows. Have a main event/ problem in the middle. How will you resolve it :
You see the small door . Where might you be when you walk through? I walk through and I end up in ANCIENT EGYPT.
Main Event - I am trapped in a pyramid? How will I get out?
What happens next? Ancient Egyptian child finds me and helps me get out. she tells me that she has been through the door - she tells me that I have to get back to the door because it will close soon.

Other tasks:
Play the robot game!
Players: Two.
Difficulty: Easy.
Time: 30 minutes
What you’ll need: Nothing.
How to play: One player is the robot, the other is its creator.
The robot must follow every instruction it is given.
The creator should decide on a simple task that he wants the robot to complete.It could be making a sandwich, brushing their teeth, feeding the cat or any other number of random chores.
The creator then begins giving simple, clear instructions.
It is the robot’s job to take the instructions completely literally.
If told to “walk forward”, the robot should walk until they hit a wall and carry on walking.
If told to “turn left”, the robot should continually turn left in a circle until told to stop.
If told to do anything complicated (e.g. “Go upstairs”) the robot should say,
‘Bleep, bloop, does not compute.’
They will need much clear and simple instructions.so stead you would say“Lift your left leg and place your left foot on the stair in front of you,” After the task is completed, swap roles and try a new task.
Tips – If you’re the robot and feel like you aren’t getting enough instructions, don’t stop being the robot to to complain about it.
Instead, say something like,
“Bleep bloop, further data required,” or, “Query: direction of walking unclear. Awaiting input.”
Want to meet some Zebras?
The link below should open to a video of Zebra's from Paradise Wildlife Park.

I am a dragonfly
and I live on the breeze,
between the reeds and rushes
and the sun’s soft fingers.
I am a dragonfly
and my wings are like water,
or as sharp as two swords
cutting the air into pieces.
I am a dragonfly
and my eyes are like glass,
as round as the moon
they see all that pass.
I am a dragonfly
and my body’s a spear;
as sharp as an eagle
I hunt for my prey.
I am a dragonfly
and I float like a dancer
over the pond’s still surface,
which reflects, like a mirror,
my miraculous presence.
Do you know how I feel?
Noureddine - I would still like you to read this poem and if you would like to have a go at writing your own one with a different animal but keeping your sentences very simple. After that can you -practice your touch typing!

- In verse one, there are 3 examples of alliteration (two words next to each other that start with the same letter). Find and copy them!
- Write your own version of this poem - which animal would you choose? How would you describe that animal? Remember to start every stanza with I am a flamingo.

Literacy
Listen to the above audio - do this by hovering your mouse over the play button and when the arrow turns into a hand- click and it should start to play- make sure the sound is turned on.
Once you have done that - draw the scene that the beginning of the story paints in your mind. What is rubbish? Think about more than just litter- what else do people throw away? What is bad weather? How might you show that it is bad weather? What do you think the house looks like? Listen carefully to the small details in the text.
Maths -Comparing numbers
To be able to compare numbers you need to have a confident in you place knowledge. Are the numbers greater than, less than or equal to.

Rainforests are green spaces that are important for our planets survival. I would like you to think about what green spaces you have in your life that you enjoy. They might be a garden, a local park, a local woods, an allotment or friends and family's gardens. I have done mine- if you do one feel free to email your emails to me.
