Free School Meals Update

The Department for Education have confirmed that it will not be providing Free School Meal vouchers for the May half term holiday week (25th May – 29th May). This will also be the case for any future school holidays as they are not normally provided during these times.

Vouchers have been ordered for next week and will be delivered from Monday (please note this may be later in the week).

We will inform you of how free school meals will be issued after half term once we have more information from the Department for Education or Local Authority.

Year 3 Literacy W/C 27th April

Summer Term Week 2 Literacy

This week you will be looking at Non-Chronological reports, the past and present tense, the perfect tense and the progressive tense in poems. Wow I hear you say! Do not panic, attached are PowerPoints to help you understand before you complete the activities (attached for each day).

Day 1 – Year 3 Week 4 Day 1

1 – Read the Lego report twice and decide who it is written for.

2- Then highlight the features of the report (sections (paragraphs), headings, sub-headings, main title, introduction, present tense, technical vocabulary)

3- Read the other reports and find technical vocabulary and write the meaning of 3. (Use an online dictionary if you don’t have a dictionary)

Day 2- Year 3 Week 4 Day 2

  • Read another report and answer the questions about it
  • Choose one of the games listed, play it then make notes about it on the table
  • Write a report on the chosen game- use your notes to help you and include those key features – Main title (eg. Dangermouse Dash), sub-headings and paragraphs about that sub-heading (eg. Who is the game for? What is the aim of the game? What are the rules? What skills are needed to play?)

Day 3- Year 3 Week 4 Day 3

  • Read the portrait poem – answer the question
  • Use powerpoint Past and Present Tense with audio to remind you of the present and past tense then complete the practice
  • Use the portrait poem template to write about one of your friends (in the present tense) then draw a portrait of them in the middle. Once complete and if you would like to maybe try the extras.

Day 4 – Year 3 Week 4 Day 4

  • Read the shape poem out loud
  • Use the powerpoint Progressive Tense with audio to learn about the progressive tense then complete the practice
  • Think of some Action Poem ideas- TIME TO BE CREATIVE (or use one of the sheet) – write these on your sheet (or on paper). Can you try to write up your poem in the shape which matches the action? Look at the example how to set it out to help. Most importantly have fun with it!

Day 5 – Year 3 Week 4 Day 5

  • Read the poem I have had an awful day, discuss what things cheer you up if you are having a bad day?
  • Use the powerpoint Perfect form with audio to learn about the perfect tense- complete the matching activity.
  • Time to write your own sad to happy poem. Be as creative as you like and make sure you include the present form. Use the examples to help you.

Have fun with the literacy this week we cannot wait to read your poems, we know that they will be amazing with some exquisite vocabulary.  Any problems just send an email – newdale.year3team@taw.org.uk

Keep shining superstars. We are proud of you.

Fun fruit snacks 🍎 , outdoor painting 🎨 and teddy bear hunts 🧸

On Thursday, we enjoyed playing cricket outside in the sunshine. When we got hungry we re-fuelled by making our own fruit caterpillar snacks 🐛. We took them outside to eat in the sunshine and played some more  games. After lunch, we used some old wallpaper to do some Spring painting outside. Then, we went on our very own bear hunt. There were 10 bears for us to find and each bear had an exercise challenge for us to complete. We finished our day by watching an animation of ‘We are going on a Bear Hunt’ on YouTube. Thank you for such a lovely day everyone!

Scam Emails

We wanted to make you aware of a scam which effects families who are eligible for free school meals. The following extract has been taken from an official Government website that was updated today –

Be aware of scam emails

We have been informed that some parents have received an email stating the following: ‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.

We can confirm that this is a scam email and is not official. We urge parents that if you receive any emails like this, please do not respond, and delete it immediately.

Information for the parents of children with SEND

Please see the following message from Vicky Ford MP for the parents of children with SEND, particularly those that have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP).

As ever, the document is asking Parents to consider whether their child’s needs can be met at home safely. This is to keep as many children as possible at home during this time to help reduce the transmission rates of Covid 19.

 

Minister Ford’s open letter to the SEND sector
