Year 3 – Wednesday 29th April

Bonjour Year 3

Thank you for your hard work! We have loved seeing your French activities from yesterday.

We are really looking forward to our zoom chats tomorrow and to see all your smiling faces. Please email us if you haven’t received the details – this would of been sent through school office email.

Zoom can be used for many things during this time. My children use it for their reading sessions to their Nan – they have now on their forth book! It not only means that they are reading daily, it means their Nan has something to look forward to each day. Maybe you could use this to keep in contact with your other friends and family. We have heard about some children having family quizzes and having virtual sleepovers, this is brilliant!


We are so proud of you all and you are all showing all of our learning behaviours. You are all brilliant superstars being role models for St Mark’s.

Happy Wednesday!

 

Maths

Today, we are continuing our work on Fractions using the White Rose Maths Lessons. This will involve watching the video clip and completing the worksheet.  There is an answer sheet to check your work. 

Please complete Summer Term Week 1 Lesson 3 – Comparing Fractions – This lesson builds on your knowledge from yesterday’s work on equivalent fractions.  Today you use bar models to help you compare fractions using the greater than and less than signs.

You can find the video and resources for today’s lesson here https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ 
Make sure you click on Summer Term week 1, Lesson 3 Watch the clip and follow the instructions.

Things to remember:

  • Bar models must be the same size when comparing.
  • Remember when the denominators the same, the greater the numerator, the greater the fraction e.g. 7/10 is greater than 3/10 because the numerator 7 is greater than 3.
  • When the denominators are the same, the smaller the numerator, the smaller the fraction e.g. 3/8 is less than 5/8 because the numerator 3 is less than 5.
  • When the numerators are the same, the smaller the denominator the greater the fraction e.g. 3/5 is greater than 3/8 because the denominator 5 is less than 8 meaning the whole hasn’t been split into so many pieces.

Resources you will need: 
Please remember if you don’t have a printer you can copy into your maths book or onto paper. Try and complete as best as you can.

The Varmint had hope and he used this hope to send his dreams and wishes to the city. Today you will be choosing good vocabulary. You could make this into a nice poster? Why not use the computer and play with the fonts to make your work eye catching?
