Wednesday 29th April
Activity 1: Choose one of the adventures you drew yesterday (or make up a new one) and have a think what characters you would meet on that adventure! If you went to space, what aliens would you meet? If you went on safari, what animals would you meet? What about if you went to the castle, would you meet a princess or maybe a fiery dragon? They could even be characters from your favourite books! Draw the characters and name them - you could also describe them to a family member.
Activity 2: Using 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p coins (if you don't have the coins at home, cut out some circles and write the numbers on them), see if you can make these amounts:
3p 6p 8p 11p 15p
Activity 3: Make an invitation for our Pyjamara event at your house on Friday! You could invite a family member in your house to come and read with you. Remember to put on the date, place, who it's for, and what to wear.
Have a great day, tweet us your activities @BryncethinPS3
Tuesday 28th April
Activity 1: Now that we've read The Paper Dolls and made our own, we are going to think about what adventures we would take our paper dolls on! Where would you take yours? Draw pictures of 6 places you would take yours and write a sentence underneath each picture!

Bore da, I hope you all had lovely weekend in the sunshine! This week we are going to be celebrating stories, and will have a whole school celebration day on Friday. Families will be able to join in a festival of story with fun activities to do at home! To help us do this, Class 3 will be looking at the story 'Paper Dolls' by Julia Donaldson. You can listen to the story by following this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKRBraOwABU .

Activity 3: Today we are going to make our 3 little pig house! Maybe your mum or dad, or brother or sister could also make one and then you could test which is the strongest!

Activity 3: Now we know what happens to the 3 little pigs, have a think what you would make your house out of if you were one of the 3 little pigs! Go on a material hunt around your house and find somethings to use as tomorrow we will be making our own house. Maybe your mum or dad, or a brother or sister could help you gather materials.
Wednesday 22nd April
Activity 1: Yesterday you found some words beginning with 'g'. Today try and put these words into sentences.
Activity 2: Can you make up your own exercises like Joe Wicks? Make a list of how many of each exercise you are going to do.

Activity 3: This week we are going to do a project on the 3 little pigs. Do you remember the story of the 3 little pigs? Draw some pictures to show what happens during the story (ask a grown up to tell you the story if you can’t remember it).

Write this number down and then write the next 10 numbers that come after this (try to do this without using your 100 square).
For example, if you picked 56, you would then write 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66.
Repeat this for 10 different numbers.
*To make this a bit trickier, you could also count backwards from the number!*

Activity 3: Watch the video 'Tedi Twt ar y Fferm' on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4rDq1r9PTc). Once you have watched the story, try to retell it yourself.
