9525-263525Welcome Year 3 to your home learning.Welcome Year 3 to your home learning.Dates: Monday 11.05.2020 - Friday 15.05.2020 Hello from all the staff in Year 3. We hope many of you will have been working hard, keeping up with some learning while at home. Great News! You can now send us some of the work, that we are sure you are proud of, if you would like to. More information and the email address is available from the school homepage link. We look forward to seeing how busy you have been! This week’s activities as usual have plenty to choose from... ReadingWe recommend that your child reads daily to an adult. You can use their reading book or any books you have at home. In addition please complete the following reading comprehension activities. You do not need to record your answers (unless you want to) but please talk through each question and answer.If your child is working below age related expectations, please feel free to explore the reading comprehensions offered by the previous Year group.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For a change from comprehension this week we would like you to complete a book review of a book that you have read since school finished using the Book Review sheet. The sheet is available to print off at the end of this document. You could just discuss the answers with an adult if you do not want to or can’t print the sheet out. WritingWe hope you enjoyed a Safari diary type entry last week. For this week’s writing we would like you to write a diary entry imagining that you have been anywhere in the world you want! If you use Street View on Google Earth you can drop yourself pretty much anywhere you want and have a look around for inspiration. This will also help practice your ICT and geography skills at the same time. (Google Earth needs Google Chrome as your browser but in Google Maps, available anywhere, you can also do street view dropping the yellow man onto the map.) you have a day in London? Drop yourself outside Buckingham Palace, the London eye or next to Big Ben. Did you visit New York times square or the Grand Canyon? A boat trip in Niagara Falls? Your favourite football teams ground? The rainforest? A tropical beach? You decide. Wherever you chose, use your imagination to describe events that day and talk about your feelings. Again, a trip inspired piece of art, if you have the materials, might be nice to go with your writing. You may like to drive in a Formula one car…360 paraglide in Nepal…360 …or be part of a pretty amazing 164 person skydive! you can look around the screen in all directions on the 360 ones to feel more as if you are there. It’s totally up to you. Writing support documents (Same as last week if already downloaded)Y1 and Y2 common exception words and Y4 common exception words pyramids – 3rd step from the top are typical Y3 level work. Some children might be more comfortable on the 2nd step or be able to use words from lower steps (However children need to know what the words mean and that they are using them correctly) punctuation-pyramid-pack-a4SpellingSpelling is a really important part of the curriculum and practice makes perfect! Task 1 - For this week’s spelling we would like you to learn these six year 3 /4 common exception words. enough, eight, extreme, exercise, experience, eighthIt is up to you how you chose to practise these. You could complete a crossword and answer grid on squared paper (squared template below) and write a clue for the meaning for someone in your household to complete. You could complete pyramids for each word, write a definition of each word (what it means) or include each in sentence. Task 2 - Click on 3+4 and use the book number 4. Spelling this weeks words MathsTables Try two speed grids this week. (available from the Home Page) Try one early in the week, and on the days in between, use the ‘Hit the Button’ game to practice the tables you are not so sure off. At the end of the week do another speed grid. Has your score improved over the week? Concentrate on quick recall of 3x and 4x and then if you are confident learn your 8’s. If you know a times table apart from just a few facts get the adult in the house to ask you that fact or facts out of the blue, each day at random. You may well get fed up! But once you can say it straight back to the adult every time they’ll never need to ask you that one ever again. (Mr Kelham - Mine was 8x8, I can still remember this one now better than any – its 64!)Mental Magic Maths! – 1. Think of a number. 2. Multiply it by 3.3. Add 6. 4. Divide this number by 3. 5. Subtract your original number from the answer in Step 4. What is the answer? Try different one-digit numbers. Do you always get the same answer? Telling the TimeThis week we would like you to use your time to design a timetable. What would your perfect day look like? Make a timetable of what your perfect day would include – remember to include exact timings and write the time duration down. Try to include tricky times by making some activities last for 35 minutes etc. e.g. Wake up – 8am - Breakfast in bed - *8.10 – 8.30am (20 minutes) Read my book 8.30 – 9.15am (45 minutes) Depending on how you have done with time you might find it easier to stick to half or quarter hours. If you are a whizz with a watch you could always try a challenge of 24 hour time, (although not covered in class yet)The on-line clock might be helpful when you work out for how long you are doing an activity for, by choosing the digital clock mode at the top. exercise is really important. Have a go at some of these across the week if you are not managing a walk as your daily exercise each day.You all loved the Sports Relief dance routines in the hall. On the Zumba and NTV channels on go- noodle there are lots of similar ones to try. They look fun and some are to songs you might know. I was even tempted to join in myself after watching a few! For a change this week why not try a 20 minute Yoga session for Kids. includes lots of positions you might have learned at school over the years. ComputingFor a change from coding this week visit Jit5 from J2e that we use in school. This link takes you to the branch program. Could you choose some of the plant pictures to make a branching database? Remember, that you choose your items and then think of some questions to say yes or no about for each item you have chosen. It’s a bit like making a “Guess Who” game but you sort all of the items. Feel free to explore the software through the other Tabs across the top if you’d like. They include making a simple animation by moving pictures, taking screen shots, and running them together. TopicScience- Continue to watch the changes in the plant that you chose from last week and add to your plant diary. Watch this video of growing a tomato plant just from planting a slice of tomato. Could you try this at home. If you have no small pots maybe you could try planting straight into the soil in your garden if you have one. I wondered if this might be fake as only one seed germinated? (grew) ? Give it a try and see if it works.It would be great to see pictures of your plants over the coming weeks if you manage to grow any by using our year group email. Watch this time-lapse of a dandelion flower turning to seeds. There are lots of seed heads around at the moment but still some flowers. See if you find and can watch a dandelion flower change over the next few weeks. – Could you do a drawing, painting, collage, or computer drawn image (using ‘Paint’), that goes with your dairy entry?History. Last week we thought back in time to WW2 as the country celebrated VE day. In part we know about the past and WW2 from objects that survived. Sometimes we find an undiscovered collection of objects from the past by chance, or people may have actually chosen to make a time capsule. These found items all belonged to a Battle of Britain pilot.If you wanted to make a time capsule of interesting things that would let people know what living today was like what might you include in it? Draw pictures or make a list of what things you think people might find interesting in the future. You do not have to make a capsule at all, but if your parents are on board you could maybe collect some things that you could put in a box that might stay in your loft. If you looked in it in many years’ time you might be surprised by quite how much has changed! ActivityCan you help prepare a meal this week? Washing the vegetables. Using a peeler or chopping under supervision. Help follow a recipe. Tidy away. – I’m sure someone will really appreciate your efforts. This week’s online game to try if you fancy “Minesweeper” (This, as is the other games I’ve posted are totally optional!). Can you clear all the spaces to leave only mines without clicking on one? click randomly on the board and hope you don’t hit one. Then if there is a number in the square it tells you how many mines that square is touching. It also counts diagonally so the highest number could be 8. Use the numbers you can see to work out squares that do not contain a mine. When you have cleared all the empty squares the flags will show you made it. It will take a few goes before you stop hitting mines. If you are doing well you can change from beginner to a harder level. parents can access remote learning via Twinkl.
