It’s Friday, which mean one thing. Time to test the old brain cells with our maths skills.
Maths
Time to warm up those brains. Practise your times table by playing Hit the Button. Can the children make sure that if they are on the x3, x4,x8 , x6, x7 or x9 that they also practise the division side too.
They could always access their Times Table Rock Star Accounts to practise too.
Premiership If you emailed me your child’s score I will email you telling you whether your child has moved on to the next times table or needs to look at the same times table as last week. They are ordered below.
Mental Arithmetic
We always follow Premiership with a mental arithmetic test. Usually, I play them an audio clip of a lady reading out the questions. They are timed so all you need is hit play!
If you can’t get the audio above to play, then I’ll attach the questions and the answers below. With the first 10 questions, the children get 5 seconds to answer after the question is repeated. On the last five questions, the children get 10. We have tried to encourage the children to listen to the question the first time and jot down anything they think will help and once the question is repeated, then they can answer. If they have jotted notes down to help, then they can always return to the question if they have finished another question quite easily.

y3-spring-04 FOR CHILDREN
Afterwards, we mark it and go through some of the questions and talk about how we could answer them quickly.
English- Please see Mrs Hilditch’s post from Monday.
Spelling Test
Spelling test on the children’s spellings from last week. Usually, we would jumble them up, read out the word and then put it into a sentence for the class.
New spellings- Below are a new set of spellings to learn over the next week.
Group 1/ Group 2 – Group 1 and 2 Week 4
Group 3 – Group 3 Week 4
Reading
Usually on a Friday we don’t do a whole Guided Reading session but rather get the children to have 20-30 minutes of quiet, independent reading. It allows the children a little down time and is considered a mindful activity. Perhaps, even play some some calming music in the background to help them relax during this strange time. If you want, send us in a photo of the children reading and we can print it off and stick them to our reading journal wall!
RE
LO: To recognise the importance of the Torah.
We are carrying on with Judaism this week by looking at how the Torah (the Holy text of Judaism) is treated by Jews. I’ve cobbled together a PP of key parts with a little voice over work with it. I have read most of it to the children so parents….go and have a well earned cup of tea! Have a look and have a discussion.
This lesson can be practical if you want to make your own Torah and Yad.

But if you can’t make them then it doesn’t matter, as long as you can discuss what new things you have learnt with a family member after.
