Home Learning Week 2

Hello Year 3,

We hope you are all safe and well? We are missing you at school!

On our daily hour of exercise, we have noticed many of you have made rainbows and put them in your windows!

They look amazing!

We wondered if you could make more rainbows and label the colours in French?

We have also been checking up on the times tables rock stars battle, 3H are winning again...come on 3L let's beat them this time!!!

If you have managed to plant your sun flowers, make sure you keep a diary once they start to grow. Measure your sunflowers each week to see how much they have grown and take pictures to bring back to school to share with everyone!

Below we have suggested a few more good websites for you to visit:

For literacy learning at home, there is Pobble 365. This is a fantastic resource to develop a range of skills. Each day, a photo will be uploaded to the website. http://www.pobble365.com/journey-to-school/

You can also use ‘Go Noodle’. Go Noodle have uploaded lots of their videos to YouTube, which you can find by following this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2YBT7HYqCbbvzu3kKZ3wnw

A lovely way to be creative is to use the Draw with Rob tutorials. He will be uploading videos twice a week, where he talks you through how to draw different things. There are already a few uploaded, which can be found by following this link:

http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob

Home Learning

A range of home learning activities suitable for each year group can be found here on Classroom Secrets - 

https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/free-home-learning-packs/

Please note, this link will only work on a PC/laptop and unfortunately is not compatible with phones or tablets.

Reading 

Reading is a great way to occupy your time and develop your imagination. Children should be reading at least 15 minutes per day and also be sharing a book, ideally at bedtime, with an adult. Once children have read the book, get them to answer questions about the characters and their feelings or even write a book review.

In Year 3 we are working on answering how and why questions and a great way to do this is to use pictures. We often us a website called 

www.onceuponapicture.co.uk

They provide you with a picture and questions for the children to answer.

Another great app/website is audible, where you can listen to thousands of free stories, that will be read by someone else.

Literacy 

Coming up in literacy over the next few weeks our focus was looking at features of a diary. At home children could be writing their own diaries about what they have been doing at home, including their thoughts and feeling, to share with other family members in the future. 

Another focus in Year 3 is to write sentences that are punctuated correctly using capital letters and full stops and use a variety of conjunctions. Below we have included a list of co-coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions for children to try to include within their diary writing. Another great activity is to get the children to spot these conjunctions within their reading.

Co-ordinating conjunctions- and, so, but, or 

Subordinating conjunctions- if, since, as, when, although, while, after, before, until, because 

Spellings

Whilst at home allow the children to get out their spelling books and practice spelling any previous words we have sent home. We have also included spellings for the next few weeks and a remember to keep practicing the Year 3 and 4 curriculum spelling list, which was glued into the front of your planners at the start of the year.

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/kids-baking

Whilst at home remember to keep practicing your times tables. We have played many games in class that the children can show you at home and we have also set up class battle against 3H and 3L. 

History 

Year 3 history looks at the Romans, Anglo- Saxons and the Vikings. Whilst at home get your children to research about these and make a leaflet, poster or a power point about the key facts.

Science 

Our next focus in science is looking at plants and growth. It was our aim to get them to grow their own sunflower. This is something that can be still done at home in the house or the garden. Allow the children to take care of the sunflower giving it water, oxygen and warmth and to keep a record on it height, linked to our previous maths topic on length. 

Art 

Leading on from our science topic we would like the children to research the artist Van Gough and his famous painting of the sunflower. Once their sunflower has grown, challenge the children to make their own piece of art. 

Year 3 Light Workshop

Our science topic this half term is all about light. This week we had a workshop with Mr B, which gave us lots of information about this topic and answered any questions we had. We looked at the science behind light and also the history of light. We painted with light and made rainbows in a dark room using prisms and torches. We had lots of fun!!!

Making a Sandwich for Manfred the Baddie!!

In Year 3 we have linked our literacy with our design technology topic. We have been reading the story of Manfred the Baddie and decided to help the henchmen by making the perfect sandwich for Manfred. Today we made our sandwiches and we got to taste and evaluate them.

Year 3 Maths

We have been learning our multiplication and division facts in lots of fun ways!! We played connect 4 using our multiplication facts and went on Times Table Rock Stars. We also challenged our friends to write word problems to match the calculation we had written. 

3L Class Assembly

Geography 

This term we have linked our geography with our literacy topic and have been learning about the importance and the effects of plastic pollution on our environment. We each made a poster to encourage people to reduce the amount of plastic they use, to reuse any plastic they use and to recycle what they do use. We have really enjoyed this topic and have learnt that one small change can make a big difference.
