Class Dojo – Adding to Portfolio

2nd April 2020Bell

Hello Year 3SB,

I am receiving lots of e-mails of completed work by the children which is absolutely brilliant. Did you know that with Class Dojo you can simply add the work to their student portfolios? Some of the children have sent me lots of work through the portfolio this week but some parents are not quite sure what to do.

Here is a video link to show how it can be done for those children/parents that already have accounts set up.

Adding to Class Dojo Portfolio

 Any parents from my class who wish for their child to have access to Class Dojo.

Please e mail me at: sbell@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

and I will send your login codes.

Thanks Mr Bell.

 

Y3SB-Weekly Challenges

31st March 2020Bell

Peace and Quiet with a nice social distance.

Good Morning Y3SB,

Hope everyone is well. I don’t know about you but in these different times, I really value that chance to exercise once a day. Yesterday I went for a walk near to my house and the beach was so quiet and peaceful. So I thought I’d share the view with you. It made me think of two challenges for this week:

Challenge 1) if you go out for some exercise or a walk, could you capture a picture of a lovely view or even better some form of wildlife in the picture. Please send your pictures in to me via e-mail or your portfolio on Class Dojo.

Challenge 2) How is your reading going? I would love you to read a book, then simply draw a picture of your favourite character or if it’s non-fiction book simply a picture based on the topic so we could create a beautiful art gallery.

All pictures could be added to your student portfolio on Class Dojo, like some children are already doing. So let’s make our class story bright and cheerful.

I’ve decided to keep project ideas back for a while, as I think you have enough stuff to do at present with daily maths, literacy tasks etc and all of the  other tasks which are available on Google Drive. Please see link below

 

Google Drive

Please send queries/questions or any work you want to show me via e-mail:

sbell@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

 

or your portfolio if using Class Dojo. Parents/carers please contact me via e-mail if you want your child to be using Class Dojo. We are in this together and it’s a whole new learning curve, so please keep in touch, and let me know if there’s anything you need.

Thanks Mr Bell.

Year 3 Home Learning Week 2

30th March 2020Bell

Hello Year 3,

 

This weeks packs for Maths and Literacy are now on the google drive, to give the children a more structured access to maths and literacy if required. The lessons are under the relevant folders in the link below of Maths and Literacy, you will then be directed to week 1 and week 2.

Google Drive

If you have decided to do more structured lessons and are just starting, it would be advised to start from week 1. Remember this is purely a guidance and it is not expected for children to do exactly as we say. Keep it fun, light hearted and entertaining for all of you.

Please note for the numeracy there are video links  to help with each lesson, These can be viewed at :

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

Alternative ideas for other lessons have been added to the drive. Furthermore, Mrs Royal has put up some brilliant ideas for you to have a go at, ranging from R.E. to D.T. We will update the files as we go so please keep an eye for other interesting activities.

Remember we are contactable via e-mail or via class dojo for those that have signed up so far,

kroyal@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Hope this helps, stay safe

Thanks Mrs Royal/Mr Bell.

 

 

Y3SB Update

27th March 2020Bell

Hi ,

Thanks so much for the pictures you’ve sent me via e-mail or class dojo this week. A lot of you have certainly been busy in many different and fun ways.

Some of the pictures are included below. With Blake making biscuits, Jacob drawing a rainbow of hope, Leo completing a book review of Stig And The Dump. Isla even made a home delivery of a home made tea to her elderly neighbour.

 

What else have you all been up to? Let me know. Remember you can join us on Class Dojo or have your password details for Times Table Rockstars on

sbell@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Updates will be made to Literacy/Maths Folders for more work if needed via the google drive home learning folder by Sunday.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q_vrRXaJ_M1FhmFmKmlPt6HYwxrpABJK?usp=sharing

Remember don’t feel pressured to do everything that we send it’s simply to give you different options. We are thinking of providing details about a project of your choice but details will follow next week.

Hope you have a great weekend at home,

Stay safe and thanks

Mr Bell.

Y3SB Education City Tasks

26th March 2020Bell

As more children are joining Class Dojo and getting in touch, I’m aware that quite a few have been using Education City. Due to this I have added a wide range of Literacy, Maths and Science tasks. To find the tasks simply log in. Click on  the icon Classwork, next click on the book icon saying Y3SB.

 

The Children should then see a wide range of activity games (please note there are a couple that can’t be played on tablets).  If you want any other work, please contact me via e-mail for anything else you may require, or for your child to gain access to our classroom stories on Class Dojo.

E mail: sbell@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Many thanks

Mr Bell.

Y3 Update of resources available.

24th March 2020Bell

Dear Parents/Guardians

Here are just a few updates/reminders of work available for year 3 as well as the work that was given in their learning packs.

We have decided to put work into separate folders e.g Literacy /Maths  for different subjects in                   Google Drive

Numeracy and literacy will be updated there on a weekly basis if pupils want to do more  daily structured work. There are also other resources there if needed.

Any pupils who have an account on Lexia which is a great individualised reading and grammar program can complete tasks on their own. To access, they need to log on to http://www.lexiacore5.com, then the email address: homelogin@ashleyprimary.sch.uk. 

Children are currently being set up on Time Table Rockstars, a great way to reinforce your times tables (My class. please contact me for your username and password via sbell@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk if you wish to start playing the games.)

This is the address you need to begin logging in:

https://play.ttrockstars.com/login/32186

This is a new program to us so we are just finding out how it works – so bear with us. If you have a go and are unsure then ask and we can hopefully work it out together.

Please if you have any other queries or concerns,  do not hesitate to contact us on the appropriate e-mail addresses.

We understand there may appear to be a lot of work given, we are simply just giving the children a choice in what to do, we understand that it could not all be completed. We would also love to see what or know what  they are doing so please let us know.

Many thanks

Mrs Royal/Mr Bell.

Please stay safe.

Serial Mash

24th March 2020Natalie Jewitt

I know yesterday there were some problems throughout the day accessing Education City and Purple Mash – hopefully it will run more smoothly today.

 

Purple Mash is now allowing our pupils to access Serial Mash which is an online library of fictional books mainly aimed at Key Stage 2 but there are some for Key Stage 1 too.  I hope you find them useful.
