Happy Tuesday! I have a writing challenge for you today.
For today’s challenge, I would like you to look at the picture below. Decide the setting (place and time), come up with a character and write at least one thing that happens to them.
Here’s my idea:
Setting: Magic Valley, 1000 years ago
Character: a fairy named Sparkles
Event: She has to journey through the Magic Valley to find a special spell to save the Valley from evil wizards!
(Bonus points if you can figure out where this picture was taken! Hint: it’s somewhere in Scotland.)
Happy Monday, everyone! Please find below the grid for this week, along with the supporting documents. As always, remember to just complete what you can.
Our suggested timetable is just to give you a little bit of structure if you need it, but we recommend trying to complete one Literacy, one Numeracy and two other curricular area activities per day. There is no pressure to complete every activity on the grid – we have given you lots of options, some very active tasks and some that require you to be sitting down and writing or drawing, so you should have plenty of ideas to choose from that will work for your needs!
I (Miss Blyth) have also been experimenting with some new formats this week. This week’s Art lesson has been created using a Microsoft Sway presentation, with videos of me demonstrating the task and explaining the instructions. It should be a case of simply swiping up to get the next slide and pressing play on the video to get the next task!
I have also created a Google Classroom that looks just like P3B’s classroom in school! Download the PDF below and you can click/tap the items in the classroom to take you to various online games and activities! Virtual Classroom wb 1 6 20
During the February break the P3 teachers had an amazing adventure. The teachers were all ready to go on a trip in Miss McGregor’s submarine. They were going to the ocean to observe sea creatures, but were worried the huge submarine might frighten them away. What Miss McGregor and Mrs Dunsmore didn’t know was that Miss Blyth had been busy inventing a shrink ray in secret. After many difficult tests and tweaks it was finally finished. Miss Blyth suggested bringing her shrink ray on the trip. If the submarine was smaller, they could go among the creatures and not scare them. What a great idea! The animals under the sea were not at all worried at the sight of the tiny submarine. When the trip was over, Miss Blyth used the reverse switch on her shrink ray to return the submarine and the teachers back to their normal size. Miss Blyth, Miss McGregor and Mrs Dunsmore had a wonderful trip that they would never forget.
Happy Friday! It’s the last day of Fitness Fortnight. We’d all like to say a massive well done for how engaged you’ve been with the activities and challenges over the last two weeks!
My Friday challenge is a scavenger hunt around your house! See if you can find something shaped like a cube, a cylinder, a sphere, a cuboid and (as an extra challenge) a pyramid!
Good morning. What a lovely day! We hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine.
For our word families today we have “et “, “ig” and”ug”. Can you think of more words for each family?
There is a space in the middle of the picture. What word family and sea creature would you include there? Could you tell someone a story about the sea creatures?
If you have any suggestions for adding to the picture, or if you have more words to add to each family, please comment on the post or tag @missblyth1 and @MrsLDee on Twitter.
Happy Thursday! I have an art challenge for you today. I was so excited to see all the amazing responses to last week’s art challenge, keep up the hard work!
Today’s art challenge is to draw a squiggle on your page and see if you can create a piece of art from it. Sometimes it helps to turn your page around to see it from a different angle. Here’s my squiggle:
And here is the drawing I created from it! I had to turn my face until my squiggle was on its side, and then I used it as the muzzle of a dog! I’d love to see what you come up with – P3C can share with Mrs Dunsmore on Twitter @MrsLDee, P3B and P3A can share their responses with me on Twitter @MissBlyth1 and P4/3 can share their responses on Teams!
Hello P3. Today we have the “ed” word family. There are 5 “ed” words on today’s star fish:
bed, fed, led, red and wed.
Can you come up with some of your own?
Yesterday I added some words to my “ip” list – pip, ship and trip.
The P3 teachers love to see your work, so if you can, please share any word family art, word family lists and grid activity by commenting on this post or on Twitter, tagging @missblyth1 and @MrsLDee
It’s Wednesday! Lots of fun Fitness Fortnight activities to be trying today!
Today for my daily challenge I would like you to complete the sums below with either the +, -, x or ÷ symbols. You can double check them by completing the sums!
1) 50 ___ 10 = 5
2) 17 __ 2 = 34
3) 123 __ 16 = 107
4) 123 __ 16 = 139
Try creating a few of your own questions, too!
Edited to add answers:
50 _÷_ 10 = 5
17 _x_ 2 = 34
123 _–_ 16 = 107
123 _+_ 16 = 139

Good morning P3. Well done on all your fantastic Sports Day achievements. It was lovely to see you joining in. Some of you may have seen the picture of the word family flower garden from a few days ago. I had so much fun making it I have a new theme for practising more word families. Today we have the “ip” word family, and I’ve added a crab into the picture. Now I need to come up with a name for the crab. Do you have any suggestions? If you’d like to create a word family picture and share it with us please tag @missblyth1 and @MrsLDee
We hope you had an amazing Sports Day yesterday – we were all so impressed with your scores and pictures. Keep up the hard work and enjoy the rest of the Fitness Fortnight activities that are planned for the rest of the week!
My challenge for you today is to think back over the spelling words we’ve been learning and see if you can figure out what these jumbled up words are. I’ll post the answers at the end of the day!
