Year 3 I wanted to begin by special mentioning a few children who have really shown kindness on the purple mash blog- Faizaan for reassuring Samirah when she said that she was missing her brother. What a lovely thing to do Faizaan- I am really proud of you. 
Samirah - for coming up with things for us to do when we are a bit bored! We appreciate the time and effort you have taken to think of different activities!
Salman for asking how another child is- what a thoughtful thing to do!
Isra and Sara C for  sharing their varied art work with us- and sharing what you have been up to. You have made me smile!
Tanisha for your lovely words of encouragement to Ehsan!
​
You are such a kind and creative bunch- keep it up! :) 

Isra and Sara C thank you for sending in pictures from Eid. It looks like you had a lovely day.

Reading- Matilda 

‘Where are the children’s books please?’ Matilda asked.
‘They’re over there on those lower shelves,’ Mrs Phelps told her. ‘Would you like me to help you find a nice one with lots of pictures in it?’
‘No, thank you,’ Matilda said. ‘I’m sure I can manage.’
From then on, every afternoon, as soon as her mother had left for bingo, Matilda would toddle down to the library. The walk took only ten minutes and this allowed her two glorious hours sitting quietly by herself in a cosy corner devouring one book after another. When she had read every single children’s book in the place, she started wandering round in search of something else.
Mrs Phelps, who had been watching her with fascination for the past few weeks, now got up from her desk and went over to her.
‘Can I help you, Matilda?’ she asked.
‘I’m wondering what to read next,’ Matilda said. ‘I’ve finished all the children’s books.’
‘You mean you’ve looked at the pictures?’
‘Yes, but I’ve read the books as well.’
Mrs Phelps looked down at Matilda from her great height and Matilda looked right back up at her.
‘I thought some were very poor,’ Matilda said, ‘But others were lovely. I liked ​The Secret Garden best of all. It was full of mystery. The mystery of the room behind the closed door and the mystery of the garden behind the big wall.’
Mrs Phelps was stunned. ‘Exactly how old are you, Matilda?’ she asked.

‘Four years and three months,’ Matilda said.
Mrs Phelps was more stunned than ever, but she had the sense not to show it. ‘What sort of a book would you like to read next?’ she asked.
Matilda said, ‘I would like a really good one that grown-ups read. A famous one. I don’t know any names.’
Mrs Phelps looked along the shelves, taking her time. She didn’t quite know what to bring out. How, she asked herself, does one choose a famous grown-up book for a four-year-old girl? Her first thought was to pick a young teenager’s romance of the kind that is written for fifteen-year-old schoolgirls, but for some reason she found herself instinctively walking past that particular shelf.
‘Try this,’ she said at last. ‘It’s very famous and very good. If it’s too long for you, just let me know and I’ll find something shorter and a bit easier.’
‘Great Expectations,’ Matilda read, ‘by Charles Dickens. I’d love to try it.’
I must be mad, Mrs Phelps told herself, but to Matilda she said, ‘Of course you may try it.’

Picture
​
Over the next few afternoons, Mrs Phelps could hardly take her eyes from the small girl sitting for hour after hour in the big armchair at the far end of the room with the book on her lap. It was necessary to rest it on the lap because it was too heavy for her to hold up, which meant she had to sit leaning forward in order to read. And a strange sight it was, this tiny dark-haired person sitting there with her feet nowhere near touching the floor, totally absorbed in the wonderful adventures of Pip and old Miss Havisham and her cobwebbed house and by the spell of magic that Dickens the great story-teller had woven with his words. The only movement from the reader was the lifting of the hand every now and then to turn over a page, and Mrs Phelps always felt sad when the time came for her to cross the floor and say, ‘It’s ten to five, Matilda.’

Questions:

  1. How long did Matilda sit in the library for?
  2. Find a syonym for the word means interested.
  3. Matilda is interdependent. Find evidence in the text.
  4. Draw a picture of Matilda sitting in the library reading- use the description in the sat paragraph to help you draw it. ( for example- her feet do not touch the floor!!)

Literacy 

Archie and Cara have emailed in their drawings of the bird- I am so impressed guys- I hear that you are enjoying the story too-which is fantastic news!
Picture
Archie the details on the wings are great and the use of colour on the tree. Cara you have used an interesting effect by putting pencils  lines on the birds body.

  Listen to me read the story so far and then have a go at todays task.

Maths

To start off with I would like to introduce a fun and educational programme called Numberblocks. This is a great showt hat shows numbers visually and deals with what makes up numbers. It is on television but you can also access it by going onto bbc iplcayer and searching for Numberblocks. There area a few series and the episoders become more challenging the further on you get.
