Poems Read by Mrs Mitchell 20th-24th April 2020
Tremendous Thursday 30.4.20
Good morning Year 3. Before we get started today I have a little message. Always try what I have set for you first BUT if you find the English or Maths too hard or too easy on that day you can always log into BBC Bitesize Daily and look at the Year 2 or Year 4 English and Maths. I hope this helps. Enjoy listening to today's important date. Today, with a smiling face can you-
- Write an entry in your diary. Write about 6 sentences, beautifully joined to explain what has been happening in your house this week. If it was me, I would write my sentences on a rough piece of paper first and then copy neatly into my diary. Use amazing adjectives to describe. Remember that this diary will be a record for you to keep to remind you of this time.

Wondrous Wednesday 29.4.20
Hello Year 3. I don't know if it was the rainy weather yesterday but I didn't feel as happy as usual. However, a call from my Mum in the Isle of Man made everything better.

- Go onto Bug Club as I have given you a Viking book ( this links into our Viking theme from yesterday)called Robbie Ravenbeak. There are two plays in this book so make sure you read and answer all the questions.
