A quick reminder. We have used the strategy of counting back on a number line to subtract. The video  also introduces counting forwards  to subtract or find the difference when one of the numbers is missing. Both ways work, choose the method that you find suits you.

Complete the Year 3 Challenge for all and then fro an extra Challenge one of the Star Challenges.

English

Handwriting:  Please download or copy the sentences using diagonal joins.  

LO: I can plan a letter

Today we will continue to think about letter writing.  We will be writing letters to a doctor or an engineer but what questions could we ask them?  We want to find out why did they choose to do that job and what it is like doing that job?  

Think of 5 questions you could ask for each job.  Have a look at the example below to a firefighter.  Then download the letter planner and plan out your letter making notes in each box.  Tomorrow you will use your notes to write a formal letter.  There is also a list of question words you can refer to.

Science

Today we are recapping  and consolidating our learning about  what exercise is and why we do it. By the end of the session you will be able to give examples of common exercises ; identify the body parts involved in exercise as well as describe the benefits of exercise.

Work your way through the ppt attached below. You will need a pencil and a piece of paper to jot down your ideas as you go through it. Just to be aware that at  the end of the video there is a 5 minute workout with Joe Wicks which will take you to his You tube Body Coach website.

Complete the Exercise Worksheet attached below. There is one for Year 2 and Year 3.
