Good Morning Year 3! 

I hope your first day of home learning went well yesterday. Today we will being doing lots of great learning. You will notice I have added some videos of me teaching you, so it feels a bit more like being at school!

It's Children In Need Day today! Are you wearing something yellow?

Here is the timetable for today:- 

► TIMES TABLES PRACTISE 

► ENGLISH

Over the past few days we have worked well exploring Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing' 

As a school our aim was to create a performance showing the play through role play, movement, mime and action. Now we are isolating it won't be possible to do this in the same way we wanted to. But we still want to try and put together a great class show that allows the story to be told and for an audience to enjoy. 

I need you to record yourself and take photos of certain parts of the play. We will do some today and some on next week. I will need those photos and short clips emailed to me. It might seem strange doing them on your own, but I can merge them with others from the class. 

Photos:-

• Can you cut out your mask you created yesterday and hold it to your face 
• For the 1st event - can you wave and look happy to the returning soldier and Claudio
• For the 2nd event - can you cross your arms and turn sideways looking moody 
• Also for the 2nd event - can you make a love shape with your hands and hold it to your chest
• For the 3rd event - can you pretend to whisper in someone's ear 

Short Video:-

• For the 4th event - can you pretend to have an idea and create the heart shape again with your hands and smile! 

I hope that is possible for Mums, Dads and carers to help out with! 

It will make a big difference if we can involve everyone even with just a part of it. 

I look forward to receiving your images.
