Year 3 Home Learning 11th January 2021

Date: 10th Jan 2021 @ 3:20pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a nice weekend and enjoyed spending time at home with your family.

I had a lovely time listening to my favourite songs on Friday. On Saturday, I went for a walk. I enjoyed jumping in the icy puddles in my wellies and watching lots of happy dogs wagging their tails. If you ever need cheering up, spotting happy dogs out on their walk is a great way to do it – they are always so excited chasing their ball and sniffing around.

Well done for all of the work you have been doing so far.

If you are finding any of it tricky you can:

• Draw things to help you in Maths like base 10.
• Use things in your house to help with Maths like coins, counters, toys.
• Write out the times tables you need for an activity before starting it.
• Use books and the internet for ideas.
• Discuss your work with people at home when they are not busy.
• Contact the school for support.

 

Reminders

Remember to keep all of your work in your exercise book so that we can celebrate it when we are all back together in school.

Remember you can change your reading books whenever you need to – just let the school office know.  

Try to have a look at some newspapers at home if you can.

 

Things that made me smile yesterday (you could write your own list too)

• ALL OF YOU had a go at the Sumdog challenge – well done, that is really impressive.
• I had a day of no TV and instead went for a jog, read my book, did puzzles and listened to music.
• I had my favourite lunch – SUSHI J
• I looked through my phone at photos and reflected on how lucky I am to have such great friends and family.

Reading

Please read out loud to somebody for 20 minutes. Once you have collected a school book from the office, you can start to read that.  

Before you start to read, tell somebody everything that you can remember so far, make a prediction about what you think is going to happen next.

television, treasure, usual, measure, pleasure, decision, vision, leisure, version, visual

Ask somebody to read out your spellings twice.

Times tables

Write the short date: 11.01.21

Write the title: Times tables test

Write the numbers 1-11 down your page.

Ask somebody to call out your times tables in a mixed up order (if you can’t remember which times table you are on, you can be tested on 4x.

In school I always read the question out, count to five, read it out again and then count to three before moving on to the next question.

The bonus question is: 65 x 10.

If you get any wrong, practise a bit more and then try again.

 

 

Counting

Maths

Today in Maths you are going to be dividing by making equal groups.

Click on the link below and watch the video, pause where you need to. https://vimeo.com/471011202

For some activities you might want to use counters, pencils, coins, toys, buttons or anything you can find at home. Or you can draw shapes.

Please complete the sheet attached to this blog called ‘Make equal groups – grouping.’ After, you can check your answers using the answer sheet.

Remember with division, the total number or highest number goes at the beginning of a number sentence.

 

 

Geography

Before Half Term we had started to look at rainforests and South America.

We used an atlas to label a map of South America with countries and capitals.

 

Write the long date: Monday 11^th January 2021

Write the title: Can I use maps to find out about places?

 

Activity 1

Refresh your memory by having a look at South America on a map and writing 5 quiz questions to ask somebody at home.

https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/map/south_america_map.htm

Example questions:

Name a country that shares a border with Brazil.

What is the capital of Ecuador?

Which ocean is to the West of Chile?

La Paz is the capital of which country?

Which is the biggest country in South America?

 

Activity 2

Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world.

Can you remember the four larger countries?

Can you imagine what it must be like to live in a country as big as Brazil? We live in the UK and there are differences in the climate from the North to the South of the UK. I wonder how much more diverse the climate must be in Brazil.

Please complete the sheet called ‘Table for recording different temperatures.’

To complete the sheet, use the BBC weather forecast (https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather?&) to find out the temperature in the following places:

• Your home place – Preston
• Your chosen place in the far North of the UK – for example Kirkwall
• Your chosen place in the far South of the UK – for example Penzance
• Rio de Janeiro
• Manaus
• Fortaleza
• Brasilia

As well as the average temperature, also look at the description, including snow, rain, cloud, sleet, etc.

When you have completed the sheet, have a think about the following:

In which country do you notice more differences in the climate?

Why do you think that is?
