Welcome Meeting
Thank you for all those parents that attended our ‘Welcome to Year 3’ zoom meeting. I have attached the PowerPoint that was shared during the meeting. We were asked some great questions by parents.
Q. What should my child do if they have to self- isolate at home for 14 days?
A. Parents and carers of pupils who are unable to come to school because they are self-isolating or in quarantine are advised to access the excellent resources provided by the Oak National Academy to continue their child's learning at home.
Please click here for lessons for the week beginning 14th September 2020 and then click on your child's year group.
Completed Home Learning can be emailed to your child's class teacher via reception@stmaryangels.co.uk or uploaded via J2Write in MyUSO.
Q. Will there be Violin or football this year?
A. Unfortunetly, we will not be having outside agencies coming into school. However, this may change. The violin teacher was providing zoom lessons during lockdown and may still be providing this service. Please contact Mrs Murphy at the office via reception@stmaryangels.co.uk
Q. Will there be Holy Communion classes this year?
A. There are registration forms available at the back of St Mary of the Angels Church. For further details please contact the Church.

Friday 18th September
Hello Swifts,
We have had another fantastic week back at school. In English this week we learnt about the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece through our text map and that simple sentences have a subject, verb and a noun. In Maths we found out how to represent 3 digit numbers, and how to represent numbers to 1000 on a numberline. In RE we learnt about Jesus' family tree through the Gospel of Matthew and began new electricity vocabulary in our Science lesson. Finally, we explored Greece in our Geography lesson. Phew! What a week!
This week we have been recapping phase 5 tricky words. To continue your learning at home I have put some games on Bug Club which you can access through the logins I have stuck in your home spelling books.
To practise your Maths try to complete 30 minutes of Mathletics activities. You can also access fun times table games to increase speed and accuracy.

Science
This week we have been learning about electricity and that it is created by generators which can be powered by gas, coal, oil, wind or solar. We sorted different appliances that are powered by batteries and appliances that are powered by mains electricity. Can you find some different appliances that we did not discuss in class around your house? Remember we aren't allowed to bring papers into school, so remember what you find. I can't wait to discuss your answers with you on Monday.
We also learnt that electrical energy can be converted into other types of energy such as light, heat, movement or sound. Click here to watch this video again. See how well you can do with the quiz underneath. I wonder if you can find any different appliances that produce light, heat, movement and sound around your house too?
History
This week we have started our new History topic, ‘Athens Vs Sparta’. There are many new words to learn and fun facts to discover. We have created a pre learning pack for you to look over and learn what some of the new vocabulary means.
