In today’s lesson, we look at the success criteria for persuasive letter writing and then your task is to plan your letter to Mr Johnson persuading him to take some steps to protect the environment just like our main character in the Tin Forest did.

Spelling

As last week, here is your weekly spellings and spelling task.  You can either print these sheets out and record your practice attempts in the boxes or write the spelling words out a few times/put them into sentences on some paper from home.

These are from EdShed so you can log in using the details found at the back of your diary and play the interactive spelling games to help you practice if you think this might help.  We won’t be setting a formal time to test your spellings but if you would like to please feel free to organise a time to test yourselves and let us know your scores.

Forest School 

This week our Forest School session is linked to our learning in English.  The man who lives in the Tin Forest lives opposite a dump.  Today, we would like you to think about litter in the local area and maybe start to make a small difference to our school, local area and communities! Copy and paste the link below and watch the video below to find out the task we have set you this week.  If you are not able to go on a litter pick try designing a poster to remind people to put their litter in the bin and recycle more!  PLEASE REMEMBER TO GO LITTER PICKING WITH AN ADULT, WEAR GLOVES, AND NEVER TOUCH ANYTHING DANGEROUS / YOU UNSURE OF!

We would love to see pictures of you litter picking so that we can share our successes on the website.  Photographs of your posters are equally welcome!

As ever, we are here to help, no matter how small the query!

Take care

Year 3 Team!
