Year 3: Helpful homework hints!

Step 1: Open google chrome or go to google.com in your internet browser.

Step 2: Click on the 9 dots in the top right hand corner of the screen

A menu should drop down that looks like this:

Step 3: Click on account.

The screen should look something like this. Click on the blue sign in button.

You will now need to sign in with your username. It will be some letters of your surname, first name and some random numbers.

Step 4: type in : username.315@gsuite.st-matthews.merton.sch.uk

Step 5: type in password. This is a random word followed by a number. Eg football2

Step 6: Click on the 9 dots again and this should drop down. Click on the classroom icon.

This page should appear. Click on the purple box.

In the classroom you will find a stream. You can message one another, which I know the children have been very excited about. If anyone writes anything rude or abusive on there, I will block you from posting.

To access the homework, click onto classwork.

Please all have a go at home and let me know at school how you get on.

A busy week!

I imagine your children have had a week they won’t forget in a hurry. Some of you have kindly expressed your thanks for the trip down to New Barn. Can I say how much I enjoyed taking the class down there – we had a blast! Have a great weekend.

To bring you up to speed on what we have been doing recently in year 3, we have been measuring in mm, cm and m. If you suddenly find your little ones taking a keen interest in the square footage of your house, this may be why.

We also did a little bit of Roman soldier training: marching, standing in formations (spot the tortoise) and close combat! What a talented lot they are!

Performers

Year 3 are quite the performing lot (as I’m sure you’re all aware.) They sang brilliantly at the New Wimbledon Theatre this morning alongside year 4. Perhaps a year 3 and 4 production is in the making. Suggestions on a postcard (or in a comment on the blog!)

When we got back to class, there were more performances of note. As it is storytelling week, the children have made shadow puppets and were performing exerts of Fantastic Mr Fox in science. An excellent day!

Are you persuaded yet?

The children have been learning the art of persuasion for the past fortnight. Be aware that they may be trying their luck at persuading their parents to do all sorts of things for them now. They have been defending Mr Fox and his questionable actions (stealing) on the basis that what the horrible farmers do is far worse (attempted murder)

Don’t be alarmed by all the chalk outlines in the playground! In science we have seen that the size of shadows changes depending on how close the light source is to an object. We also saw that shadows take the shape of the object that blocks the light (hence the silly poses).
