Extra Request This is a very special time of year because both teachers and children look back over the year and think about all the good things that have happened and all the progress that has been made. The children normally write a few paragraphs about how their year has been to go in their reports. As it is not possible for us to do this with the children this year, could you talk to your child about their year instead? We have attached a prompt sheet to help.

Did you know there was a Bishop’s Palace in Nettleham? Well, there used to be until about 500 years ago, now we just have the site and the remains hidden under the grass. For the last few weeks of term we are going to be learning about this wonderful place. What do you know about this place? Had you heard of it before? Have you been there? Have you visited just to walk the dog, or to explore it as a historical site? What happened there? Why is it important? Talk about what you know and what you would like to know with an adult. The Bishops of Lincoln, and the Palace, was once very important, and it is said that the first Prince of Wales was created there! Here is some information about the Palace. Can you find out anything more? Bishop’s Palace Site Information Prince’s Gate Board 1 Prince’s Gate Board 2 Prince’s Gate Board 3 Prince’s Gate Board 4 Use Google maps to find the site in Nettleham. Look at the satellite image. What can you see? If you can, visit the site and walk round. It looks different when you are actually there! |
Light and Shadows Some of you may already have noticed with last week’s final activity that shadows can change size as well as direction. This week we are going to explore this a little bit more. Unfortunately we can’t use the Sun to help us investigate, as we need to be able to either move the light source or move the object much closer to the light source, which we can’t do! So you need to find a dark place somewhere and use a torch. This sheet tells you more.

In school we have been completing the daily live workout by Joe Wicks at 9 – 9:30am. It’s a great way to start the day. You can always catch up with the live recordings later or look at his 5 or 8 minute workouts on his YouTube Channel You may also want to look at doing some children’s Yoga to give a peaceful moment to your day. https://awakeandmindful.com/best-kids-yoga-videos-on-youtube/

Other ideas: |
Take the time to read a good book. Why not find an article on Newsround (https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround) and have a chat with a parent/carer about it to find out their point of view. Don’t forget, if you want more ideas for things to do, there are a whole range of activities on the school website. There are also lots of links to other websites, broadcasts, and resources for you to make the most of. We have particularly been enjoying David Walliams weekday stories and having Audible, full of lots of great e-books/audio books, available for free. There’s also the weekly Lego challenge on the school website, we look forward to seeing the results. |

Note for parents/carers:
We have had lots of very positive feedback from children completing their work at home and it has been great to see the fruits of their labours via e-mail.
Also do remember that we can print out worksheet packs for you to collect from school.
Don’t forget, you can always share work with us using Year3@Nettleham-Junior.Lincs.sch.uk or you could create a scrap book of all your child’s work as a record of their home school learning.
