Happy Snow Day Everyone.
Firstly, I hope you are all enjoying playing in the snow. There are a variety of activities listed below which focus on areas of learning we will be looking at over the next half term. Please have a look through and see if there are any that you might like to do and then share with your class once back in school.
Other activities you could complete include;
1) Get outside! Can you build a snowman or a snow animal? Snap a picture of any creations you make and share in with us on X, using @timberleysch! We'd love to see!
2) Can you draw a winter, snow scene picture? What details can you see around you? What could you include?
3) Could you write a story or a poem set in the snow? Is your character going on a journey? How are they going to face the challenges of the snow?
Lastly, please enjoy your day in the snow but do so safely. Ensure you are with an adult at all times and wrap up warm.

Maths
In Maths, over the last few weeks, we have been learning all about multiplication and division.
It's really important in Year 3 that we know or 2,3,4,5,8 and 10 times tables as these will help us with all the problems we will come across in our lessons. If you are unsure of any of these problems, head over to Times Table Rockstars and have a go! (Your teacher will also be able to see if you've been on and given you green points!)
If you are more confident with these, give the activity sheets above a go! You don't need to print them, just find some scrap paper and notes down your answers, don't forget to show your working out!
