Hello Year 3!
Welcome to the third week of online work set for you. I hope you’ve enjoyed spending time with families whilst also doing some work. Keep sending pictures and videos of all the fantastic work you’ve done to year3@eastbierleyprimary.com. It's been great to see the performances of Walking With My Iguana – perhaps you could go and see the ones which have been shared on the school’s Twitter page!
I can’t believe how many Rockslams I have set on TT Rockstars! Some children have even beaten me! Do you think that’s you? Keep practising on all those online platforms and I’ll keep sending Rockslams and leaving feedback. You’re all doing brilliantly – well done!
Isaac and I have done some baking this week - some lovely flapjacks! Have you helped out with the cooking at home? Did you take any pictures? Even if you haven’t, it would be lovely to hear what you made and how you’re helping out at home. Just send a message via the email link above.
All those children learning a musical instrument: can you record yourself practising and send it into school? If I receive 2 videos of you playing your instrument or even singing, I shall record my own video to share!
Remember to keep yourselves safe and look after the people around you,
We look forward to hearing from you all.
Mr Sharp, Mrs Winder and Ms Bray

Learning Project - to be completed through the week
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about different viewpoints. Learning may focus on physical viewpoints in terms of what you can see outside of the window at home, what others can see looking into your home and then progress onto personal viewpoints and of others.
Let’s Wonder:
Draw a picture of themself and label their drawing with the qualities they have.
How do others see them differently? Ask people at home to add to their qualities.
How are they different to other children in different parts of the world? What makes them similar to other children around the world?
Let’s Create: Complete an observational drawing of what they see outside a window in their house. Then get out into the garden and find natural forms such as stones, leaves, flowers and animals. Complete sketches, showing an awareness of different viewpoints of the same object. Remember to concentrate on tone and shading.
Be Active: Move around their home and garden taking photographs from different viewpoints. Which photos do they like? Do the people they live with like the same photos as them? Why? Why not?
Recommendation at least 2 hours of exercise a week.
Time to Talk: Talk about keeping safe, discuss different ways to keep safe. Basic hygiene rules, road safety, internet safety, water safety, being safe around the home, stranger danger. How do different people view this?
Understanding Others and Appreciating Differences: Listen to different pieces of music from around the world, which styles of music do they prefer and why? Music Maybe they could learn a song by heart and perform it.
Reflect: Design their own ideal world. Would their world contain the same things as other people? Which things are most important to them? What are they going to include?
