In Numeracy we have been doing 2D and 3D shapes. We have been concentrating on regular and irregular shapes. An irregular shape is a shape shape but it has different lengthsides. If it is a 3D shape it can never be an irregular shape. I found it a bit difficult.
Go on Mathletics and learn about 2D and 3D shapes. Post your comments to show what you have learnt and to help me.
This half term this dedicated team of writers will be regularly posting up Blogs. If you want them to write about anything in particular just let them know…
Would you like to become a Blog Writer?
What do think life is like for people in India?
Write some comments on what the characters in our play might be like.
Remember the man I was talking about? Tzvetan Todorov.
He says that a good story needs interesting characters and exciting locations.
But a good story also needs a problem for the characters to solve.
So what about our play? What ideas do you have for problems that our characters might have in India, or problems that mean they have to travel to India?
I’d love you to write some comments with your ideas.
Thanks,
Dom.
Thank you Year 3 for your ideas and suggestions yesterday … they were absolutely amazing! I forwarded them straight to the chief of X-Factor Gary Barlow and although he said he was very grateful for them he did put in one more request. So I was just wondering if you could do me one more favour because Gary Barlow would like a more formal invitation to ask for Little Mix’s help? PLEASE!
Task: Can you write a letter to Little Mix telling them:
1. What Children in Need is.
2. Fundraising ideas.
3. How their fundraising can help less fortunate children.
4. A final plea (message) to beg them for their help and support.
Thank you so much Year 3,
I can’t wait to read your letters 🙂
From your favourite bear, Puds.
Hello everyone! It’s your favourite bear here … Pudsey!
I met Miss Kirkham last week in Stoke-on-Trent and she told me how wonderful and hard working you all were in Year 3 so that started me thinking …
Basically I have been really struggling these past few months to get celebrities involved in Children in Need. They keep saying they are too busy with things like X-factor and Strictly come Dancing and to be honest I’ve got myself into a bit of a panic, so anyway I got to thinking after I met Miss Kirkham and was just wondering if you would be able to help me?
She said you were all very eager to help anybody in need? If you really want to help then here is your secret mission …
We really want Little Mix from X-Factor to appear on our show but they just don’t seem convinced. Please can you find out 5 fabulous reasons why we should help to fundraise for Children in Need and post them back to me on your blog so that I can convince them to come and support us on Friday. I know it is a huge task but I would be eternally grateful; I may even throw in some freebies for Children in Need if you can help.
Thank you ever so much,
Your number 1 bear, Pudsey

Here are two more brilliant Year Three ‘Goal Scorers!’
Please read their wonderful descriptions of a setting. Can you guess what kind of place they are describing?
Which words do you like? If you can think of any ways that the children can improve or uplevel their work then please post your comment!
Thank you for helping us to make our writing even more incredible!
Well done to all the Year Three writers, you really used your senses superbly.
I felt the sand going up and down like the shimmering waves coming to me, also I felt the freezing wind blowing my face off. I tasted the sand, it was dry and disgusting; it tasted like dry cabbage!

I can feel the cold, breezy snow on my hair. I can see the view and the colossal mountains. I can taste soft snow on my tongue. I can hear the bears growling because they are near!

WOW!
Have a look at some of the photos we took on our fabulous trip to the Natural History Museum.
Our photographers did a fantastic job of capturing the day.
What was your favourite part of the day and why?
Keep looking out for our wonderfully written recounts of the trip- they will shortly be appearing on our previous NHM trip post!
Last week during our Writer’s Workshop we all stepped through the ‘magic mirror’ and visited a tropical island, the Northern Lights, a winter wonderland or a sizzling desert! You all wrote some fabulous descriptions and we found it extremely tough to choose our ‘Goal Scorers’ this week so huge ‘pat on the back’ to you all!
Goal Scorer Iyka has very kindly typed up her stupendous work for all to see! We would like your feedback please to help Iyka’s writing to get even better! What do you like about the descriptions? What could Iyka use next time as a target? Parents remember that you can get involved too!
Iyka’s Goal Scorer:
I looked in front of me I could not believe my eyes! In front of me I could see … gleaming, slippery, shimmering, crystal water that glowed in the sparkling sea. Then I looked at the boiling sun that was like the fire it made made my eyes blink all that time. Next I went paddling in the sea and it was sizzling like a volcano. After something hurt me on my leg it was a horrible crab it was hurting my foot all that time. I ran fast out of the shimmering water and onto the boiling sand. Quietly I was stepping on something. It was a shell that was sharp. It was stinging my foot in the boiling sand. I wanted to get out of the tropical island because things were happening to me. Finally I stepped out of the immense, gigantic mirror I was shocked when I came back home. Last of all when I went to the tropical island I heard lots of swishing noises that were making me enjoy and it was astonishing, loud, and it was really noisy and the wind was breezing, bustling, gusty and squally but I enjoyed being in the tropical island.
