Hola Year 3!

Before I begin I want to say that I hope you have been looking at the other blogs avaliable- the assembly blog which Barbara and Amanda have been updating- what adventures around your home can you make? What about making a cosy den ? Or making a jar of adventures that you might do when all of this is over.
Ruth's Spanish blog is updated weekly with new challenges each week- keep practicing your Spanish!
There are also purple mash assembly ad spanish blogs to give you a chance to respond to the ideas on both blogs.
Mercedes is also updating her music blog- music and singing at the moment is a really fantastic way to cheer yourself up and use your brain in other ways!!

I hope you enjoyed the blog yesterday- I loved Emily's self care activity. Thank you to everyone who shared their self care techniques! I hope you have been enjoying listening to David Walliams book 'Bad Dad'- I have a different reading task for you today but I will include the link to David Walliams page every day so that you can continue to listen to the story as he releases new chapters each day!

Today in our reading learning I wanted it to include some current news- you have all heard about Captain Thomas Moore and his amazing efforts to raise money for the NHS. People are still donating - as it stands today he has raised 32 million pounds. What a fantastic man - lets find out more about him! After you have read the passage have a go at the questions.

I hope you are enjoying the Tin Forest! Re read the pages of the book so that you can be reminded of the story.

Science

There are many different types of plants that exist- they live in different places and look completely different. Yesterday you looked at Cacti-you found out that they have adapted(changed) to the place that they live and are able to surive on very little water. Below is a picture of my cactus' sitting on my window sill! They have grown a lot- the key is to not water them very often!

So what do plants need to survive? Watch the video below and complete the activity.

Plants are different but they all need certain things to surive:
