Metaphors are when you say something is something else. My heart was a drum beating in my chest.
Using these nouns, write a simile and metaphor for each word: - mouse - snake - clock - grass - sun - house |

Revising Apostrophes for Possession

Multiply and Divide by 1000
If you are unable to access this link, create your own place value grid on a piece of paper with the columns: Th (thousands), H (hundreds), T (tens) and O (ones). Use your place value grid to answer the following questions:
1. 4 x 1000 = 2. 9000 divided by 1000 = 3. 3 x 1000 = 4. 5000 divided by 1000 = 5. 7000 divided by 1000 = 6. 6 x 1000 = 7. ___ x 1000 = 2000 8. ___ divided by 1000 = 9
Remember, when you multiply by 1000 your digits move 3 places to the left and you must fill in any empty columns with zeroes. When you divide by 1000, your digits move 3 places to the right.

RE |
Hello Year 3! Here is this week’s RE. Did you know that all Muslims must try to visit the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia at least once in their lifetime. This pilgrimage is called the Hajj. Watch the video to find out all about it. Challenge: Imagine you can visit one place on earth,(it could be anywhere), to help you to be a better human being. Where would you go, and why? Maybe the North Pole, the Rainforest or a tiny Island in the ocean might work better to make you a better person than Alton Towers or Disneyland. Make a 5 point plan for a spiritual journey; include who would go with you, how you would travel, what you would take with you, what you would do when you got there and what you would think about. Enjoy your learning! Mrs Westall |

ICT |
Hi Year 3! This week I have been having fun on hour of code again and I have found this angry birds themed coding activity. You will need to use code to guide characters around the maze. This week you will need to use skills of using a repeat block, and an "if" block. If you are successful, you can download your certificate at the end! Good luck! Click on the link to start. Have fun!

Music |
Holy Mole! How good are your listening skills? You might need a few practises to get the hang of this game so don't give up straight away - it's very tricky! Listen carefully to the notes played on the guitar. The floating moles will sing the notes back in the same order... but one of them will get it wrong! It's your job to figure out who sang the wrong note and shoot their balloon down. Start on beginner mode and work your way through the levels to see how far you can get! https://www.musicteachers.co.uk/games/holy-mole/index.html Mr Owen
