Today is…  

What does it mean to be ‘friendly’? In school we are friendly to each other in the classroom, playground and other areas of school. Can you think of something friendly you have done in school? This could be helping a friend, member of staff, letting someone play your game or anything else.  

Today, we would like you to think about the funniest time you have had with a friend. What happened? Tell someone you are with all about this moment. How did it make you feel? 

Speaking or seeing our friends can make us smile and cheer us up! I know when I speak to my friends; we talk to each other, are there for each other and make each other laugh. At the moment, we cannot meet up with our friends but you don’t always need to be with someone to have fun. Try making contact with one of your friends today to just have a chat, make them smile or play a game. It might be a message, email, phone call or video call. 

Art:   

As part of children’s mental health week, we would like you to create a piece of art work that represents you. As you know, the theme for this week is ‘express yourself’. We would like you to create a piece of artwork that expresses yourself. For example: 

• A piece of artwork that represents how you feel at the time 

• Something you like or enjoy 

• Something that makes you smile 

• A self-portrait 

You can use any art materials you have to create this piece of artwork. You could use a pencil and paper, paints, colouring pencils, collage materials, recycled materials, clay, play-doh etc. 

Miss Johnson and I cannot wait to see what you create and would love to share these with the rest of Year 3 so don’t forget to send them to advice@mapledeneschool.com

You do not have to bring work to share today that is fine. You can still join the meeting to see what your friends have been up to this week and say ‘hello!’.  

Miss Johnson and I cannot wait to see you all and the amazing work you have been doing at home.

Don’t forget you can show us all you work by sending it via email to advice@mapledeneschool.com

Watch the video below where Miss Cook will read you this story. 

Today we are going to be using the book to write some interesting sentences about the rainforest and the monkey’s adventure. We would like you to have a go at improving Miss Cook’s boring sentences. Remember, you can use fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases and conjunctions to make your sentences more interesting.

PSHE: 

This week, we are celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week. What did you learn from the assembly this morning?

Today is... 

The theme for this year's Children's Mental Health Week is express yourself.

What does ‘express yourself’ mean? 

‘Express yourself’ is about finding creative ways to share feelings, thoughts or ideas through things like art, writing, music, dance and doing things that make you feel good. It isn’t about being the best at something, it is about finding a way to show how you are feeling that can help you feel good about yourself. 

Watch the video below to see how you can express your emotions in Makaton. Then, complete the worksheet below all about expressing yourself.
