We are calling today the first day of term 3 although all this really means is that we are back doing regular maths sheets. Learning didn’t stop through the holidays but it evolved a little to be more spontaneous and involved a lot more excursions than we usually fit into a week. The kids are happy to be back to a more structured routine especially Eli who spent the whole three weeks asking if we were going to do Maths today.

Today we have:

• * Sang the Beep Beep Fire Alarm Song
• * Watched a video of fire fighters putting out a house fire
• * English –A, Excel basic skills year 3 English workbook chapter 1 writing a recount.
•               – E, Reading Eggs  level 2 book 8 ( I haven’t used these before I just grabbed them in the book shop because the kids thought they looked interesting I asked him to do 2 pages and he did 9 when I wasn’t looking so I’m thinking maybe it’s a bit to easy???)
•               – L, Reading Eggs Level 2 book 5 lesson 41
• *Maths   –A Maths U See Beta lesson 4- Rounding to the nearest 10 and estimation
•               – E Maths U See Beta lesson 4- Rounding to the nearest 10 and estimation
•               -L Maths U See Alpha Lesson 4- Basic addition
• * We painted family portraits of our friends to give to their new baby.
• * Quiet reading time
