Stay safe and happy!

Hello to our lovely Year 3 and their families! We hope that you are all keeping well and happy. We are missing you lots and looking forward to the time very soon when we'll be back together for more Knotty Ash fun. In the meantime, you may see your friends and teachers on Twitter, joining in with Mr. England's Daily Challenge or Mrs. Cartwright's Crafternoons! Take a look and have a go if you can @AshKnotty. 

Over the coming weeks, we will add activities to this class page but as we've said before, please don't panic! You don't have to do everything, just enjoy doing what you can together. You can take a look at the other class pages too. Just remember to keep up with TT Rock Stars, Spelling Shed and reading your own books each day. We also enjoy the daily I See Maths challenge for Y3/4 and listening to Elevenses with David Walliams.

Don't forget to keep in touch by email and Twitter. We'd love to see and hear what you've all been up to. Take care, be kind to your families and keep smiling!

Welcome to the summer Year 3! Week 8 - 1.6.20 

We hope you had a lovely half-term with your families and that you are ready for more Year 3 fun! You’ll see we've added activities (Week 8) for you to try. Our main task over the next 2 weeks is a 'One Plastic Bag' Design and Technology/English project with 6 challenges. Read the document 'Inclusive Curriculum – Tasks & Information’ first as this sets out the tasks in order. We’ve also left the Scavenger Hunt, Book Review and ‘Thank You Baked Potato’ tasks on from last week. How did you do with the tasks from Week 7? We'd love to know! It would be great to see your Geography work about The Gambia or any  ‘dotty’ fun you had with Yayoi Kusama in Mrs Cartwright’s Crafternoons!

Just a reminder that our tasks have answers included and you don't need a printer as any worksheets come with alternatives – just open up the document to take a look. You can use your homework book/paper, write on/wipe off board, tablet, laptop – whatever is available. (You could take a photo before you rub anything off). If you would like copies, we can arrange this so please contact school. Remember, all tasks from previous weeks (including spellings) are on this page; just scroll down past our pictures.

Talking of pictures, thank you to everyone who has been in touch. We really appreciate your emails and Tweets and have been so impressed with all your work. You will see Michael has been very busy creating a marvellous One Plastic Bag Book Art and writing a brilliant Book Review about his recent read ‘The Midnight Gang’. Fantastic effort Michael! Marcus has also been doing some ’Out of this World’ baking with his alien cakes – very creative! We’d love to see what you create over the next 2 weeks with your plastic bags so please keep sending those pictures!

Enjoy yourselves and get in touch if we can help in any way. Thinking of you all.

Mr. England, Mrs. Cartwright, Miss. Ratcliffe, Mrs. Fairclough and Mrs. Jakobsen

MATHS 1.6.20

This week we are switching to look at fractions. This is the first week on this topic and next week we will dig a little deeper with it too. We have laid out the work a little differently this week, so it is no more online videos, it is more following the units from the attachment below. There is just one attachment but it does contain 4 separate lessons. Each lesson has an input/discussion page and then an activity sheet for the children to have a go at. If there is anyone that does not have a printer at home then please contact school and we can put a pack together for you to come and collect at a given time.

Happy fractions everyone!

Happy Holidays Y3! 25.5.20 

As from today, it is officially your half-term holiday week. We've added a few activities but hope you will mainly be having fun with your families and enjoying the sunny weather. There’s a scavenger hunt (inside or outside) and ‘dotty’ fun with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama in ‘Mrs Cartwright’s Crafternoons’ plus some ‘Thank You Baked Potato’ song and story book challenges.

Thank you for all your lovely emails and super photos this week. Eme drew a wonderful sunset picture and it was all smiles when she and Tilly caught up with Polly! Joan has been busy in her garden growing strawberries and produced a beautiful One Plastic Bag Book Art. Leighton was also very proud of the fabulous job he did creating his Book Art and Miles was maths whizz at his fractions! Well done to Ethan, Marcus, Michael and Miles for having a go at Mr England’s Daily Challenges this week – we think Tyler pipped them to the post completing 4 challenges! It was a busy week for Tyler as he also finished his terrific Book Art!

We’d just like to say how touched we were by our lovely messages for ‘Thank A Teacher Day’ on Wednesday. Special thanks to Miles, Tyler & Michael and their families – you made us very happy!

Keep smiling and have fun in the sun! Let us know what you’ve been doing this week.

Mr. England, Mrs. Cartwright, Miss. Ratcliffe, Mrs. Fairclough and Mrs. Jakobsen

P.S. Message from Mr Starkey - You could be a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD HOLDER! TT Rock Stars are looking for the fastest TT Rock Star in the World! Check it out here - https://ttrockstars.com/page/gwr

Bonjour Y3!  Week 7 - 18.5.20 

What a busy couple of weeks you’ve been having! We have been very impressed with all the work we have seen so would like to give (in the words of Joe Wicks) ‘a few shout outs!’ Michael followed Mr. England’s National Academy links for Maths and had lots of fraction fun. Marcus painted a colourful rainbow, made a powered water gun and his own paper. Tyler and his brother have been busy growing cress, making egg sandwiches and building a castle. Outside his Grandma's house, John has been practising his times tables whilst doing star jumps so she can watch from her window - great multi-tasking! Jedi Miles came up with a super Star Wars Creature Creation as well as a fabulous One Plastic Bag Book Art. Harry also did an amazing job creating his Book Art including a mini washing line and real leaf weaving  - well done everyone! 

How did you do with last week's Book Art and Maths? Tweet or send an email about the things you've been doing - we’d love to see work from our Y3 girls too! There are more activities below (Week 7) including Geography/English about 'One Plastic Bag'. All tasks from previous weeks (including each week’s spellings) are still on this page; just scroll down past our pictures. Have you taken on any of Mr. England’s Daily Challenges? Miles was Y3 Champ this week completing 3! Can you beat that?!

Enjoy yourselves and get in touch if we can help in any way. 

Mr. England, Mrs. Cartwright, Miss. Ratcliffe, Mrs. Fairclough and Mrs. Jakobsen

Hello there Y3!  Week 6 - 11.5.20 

How did you get on with last week's main task? It was to begin creating your own 'Book Art' about our new story ‘One Plastic Bag’ by Miranda Paul. The task was set for 2 weeks so you can use this week to carry on and finish your book. You will find this information in the first 2 documents below entitled 'Inclusive Curriculum & English' followed by more activities for Week 6. This includes a book review which you can do for one of the books you have read over the past 6 weeks.

It's been wonderful to see pictures and videos of the fun you've been having. We saw Cole busy doing an 'I See Maths' challenge, Miles making a  brilliant bird feeder plus Maximus and Tyler signing beautifully to 'Over the Rainbow' for Deaf Awareness Week.  Our twins have been busy too - Eme and Tilly were all dressed up ready for VE Day fun whilst Ethan and James have been cooking as well as testing their Hot Wheels cars! And looking very snug in their reading dens were Michael, Marcus and Tyler - well done everyone! Don’t forget to Tweet or send us an email about the things you've been doing, especially pictures of your 'Book Art'.

For other great ideas, just click on the links below for sites such as Oak National Academy and BBC Bitesize Daily. Remember to keep up with TT Rock Stars, Spelling Shed and reading (then reviewing!) your own books.

Have fun and be happy!

Happy Star Wars Day Y3!  4.5.20 

We hope you enjoyed last week's new story ‘One Plastic Bag’ by Miranda Paul. You will see we've added more activities below (Week 5) for you to try including some Star Wars fun! Our main task for the next 2 weeks is to create your own 'Book Art' about 'One Plastic Bag'. You will find this information in the first 2 documents below entitled 'Inclusive Curriculum & English'.

Did you take a look at the new 7-9 year olds BBC Bitesize Daily? We did them each day last week; they were lots of fun especially Super Movers and learning about plants in Science. There's also now the Oak National Academy with 3 lessons per day for each year group. We've enjoyed the English, Spanish and Music this week. Don’t forget to Tweet or send us an email about the things you've been doing. Last week,  Miles sent a picture of his SOUND poster, Harry sent us his Haiku poem and Tyler had a go at Jackson Pollock's 'drippy' art – well done boys! Scroll down to the pictures to see their wonderful work.

This week is also Deaf Awareness Week so look on Twitter because Mr. England is handing his Daily Challenges over to staff from our DRB. It's the perfect time for you to teach your household about Deaf Awareness and sign language; you'll find a few ideas below. Remember to try to keep up with TT Rock Stars, Spelling Shed and reading your own books too.

Have fun and 'May the Fourth be with you, young Padawans!'

SCIENCE

Hi all. So, if you can remember all the way back to when we were in school, our science topic was SOUND. I have copied you a link here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zgffr82 so you can try to remember some of the things we were learning about in class. I'd love it if you could re-watch those videos and then make us a poster about what you have learned. When you have finished get your mum or dad to email it to school and we will put it up on this class page.

Good luck, we can't wait to see your posters!

Miles has sent us the first 'SOUND' poster - it's brilliant Miles, well done!

Hello again!  20.4.20
