Middlewich Primary SchoolYear 3 - Summer Support
We hope that you enjoy the activities that have been planned for you. Follow the links below to access the recommended webpages and videos to help you to practise the knowledge that you have learnt this year.
There are also any files that you may need attached to the bottom of the page.
Reading
Each week, continue reading your chosen books little and often. Whether it’s on the beach, relaxing in the back garden or before you go to bed. Think carefully about the questions that are on your bookmark when reading and try your best to imagine the characters, settings and action.
Have some fun with ‘Book Bingo’ below - can you compelte a line or even shout ‘Book Bingo!’ by completing the whole chart? Record the titles you read in your summer diary. You could also write a mini review if you like!
Free audiobooks can be accessed on Researchify, BBC or WBD Audiobooks 2021.

Writing
Each week, write a diary entry in your summer diary. This could be things you have done, things you have enjoyed or things you are looking forward to in year 4. Perhaps your special diary will become a primary source of information that historians in the the future will read to find out what life was like in the Summer of 2021! Make sure it is written in your very best joined handwriting and punctuated correctly.
