 Hello Class 3,😀

Did you start your merit chart yesterday? Have you added one for your spelling test on Monday?

Learning Tasks

Please read as much as possible during the time away from school. I would recommend at least 20 minutes 4 times a week. If there are words that you don't understand when you read, find out what they mean by using a dictionary.

Keep up the wonderful work, I'll see you at 8:40 for zoom!

Work hard and play hard 😉

Apologies, I'm not sure why the second page of the guided reading link is not working properly today so maybe read about tigers below:

What is a tiger?

Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world. The scientific name for the tiger is the

Panthera tigris. They have distinctive orange, black and white fur and every tiger is

unique – no two tigers have the same pattern of stripes. Adults can weigh up to

363kg and can measure over 3 metres long. Tigers live on the continent of Asia.

An endangered species

Today, there are only 3,900 tigers left in the wild. There are five subspecies of

tiger: Bengal, South China, Indochinese, Sumatran and Siberian. Sadly, three subspecies

of tiger have already become extinct – Caspian, Bali and Javan. Less than

100 years ago, tigers could be found in most countries in Asia. Due to hunting and

habitat caused by humans building on their land, their numbers have declined and

now they are only in 7% of Asia.

What do tigers prey on?

Tigers are solitary hunters, and generally search for food alone at night. They are

stealthy hunters and move as fast as 65km per hour! They quietly stalk their prey

until they’re close, then pounce and land a fatal blow on the neck or back of the

head. They have the ability to leap over 30 feet with a single step to lift them off.

Tigers are carnivores, which means they only eat meat. They mainly feed on large

mammals such as wild pigs, buffalo, boars and even weak or young elephants. If

it's a large animal, it can feed the tiger for up to a week.

Did you know?

Tigers, unlike most other cats, like water. They are good

swimmers and use water to cool down!

The tiger is the national animal of India.
