Week Commencing  13th December 2010

Literacy – Next week we are becoming published authors. Over weekend try to find some play scripts to look at. Think about what makes the best play script. Look at how stage directions are used. You are going to finalising and publishing your Bollywood Film script for other groups to act out! Are you ready?

Phonics-Read and talk about three of your favourite books this weekend. Can you draw and describe your favourite three characters? In sentences write about why you like them and why you chose these books.

 Keep learning your spellings out of your spelling logs. Can you get someone to test you at home?

Don’t forget your Blue Reading Journals we need them to be in school everyday! We want to write in them too. Keep them safe in your school bag.

Numeracy – We had a fantastic week challenging ourselves t + and – with larger numbers.  Can you tell someone how we add and subtract in Year 3?  Going home today is some maths homework.  Work with someone at home to talk about and solve each question.  Next week its x and ÷.  Can you remember how we x and ÷? Look at the poster we sent home last week.

It’s filming time.  On Monday and Tuesday we are going to be recording your Bollywood films!  Make sure you bring in all your props and costumes.  Have you learnt your lines? Make sure you are ready.  Talk to someone at home about your Bollywood movie.  Then we are moving on to be film critics and evaluate our films.  Talk to someone at home about film critics and why we have them.
