Year 3 Home Learning 12th January 2021

Date: 11th Jan 2021 @ 3:57pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a happy Monday and enjoyed doing your work.

We have been doing the same work in school as you are doing at home. Please do not worry if you don’t manage to finish everything in one day. Sometimes things might take longer than expected as you might be talking about things with somebody at home or trying your very very best with your handwriting. Just try your best to have a go at everything.

I hope your parents managed OK with your South America quiz, I had to use the atlas to answer the questions the children in school wrote.

Here are some examples of the tricky ones:

How many countries share a border with Peru?

Which is the third biggest country in South America?

 

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.

You can now send me your work on Seesaw - please send me your English work from today when you have done it.

 

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

• I really enjoyed being challenged in Geography – I love learning new things, especially about the world.
• I had a dance to the video about fact and opinion.
• Ms Hodson and I walked around the track for the whole of play time and tried to get lots of steps.
• 4 of you have started the division challenge on Sumdog.
• 21 of you have started the times tables challenge on Sumdog.
• 24 of you have started the suffix challenge on Sumdog - well done everybody :)

Monday 12^th January 2021

 

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.

Discuss the meaning of new words.

 

Spelling

Here are your spellings for this week:

careful, playful, thankful, helpful, wonderful, useless, careless, homeless, hopeless, spotless

Say the words out loud and then spell them out loud using the correct letter names.

 

Writing:

Today is the day you get to put all of your hard work together and write your news report – yey! Please send a photo of your news report to me on Seesaw when you have finished. 

Attached to this blog you will find an example news report and a writing sheet you can use to write your news report on.

Here are some reminders for you when you are writing your news report:

• Choose one of the headlines you came up with on Wednesday and write it in big letters at the top of the news report.

 

• Write the by-line (your name).

 

• Copy your introduction that you wrote on Thursday under the by-line.

 

• Write at least one of the quotes you made up on Friday remembering to include inverted commas (speech marks).

 

• Write the rest of the news report – you might want to split your writing into the following paragraphs:
  1. Talk about Mrs Crumb’s policy.
  2. Talk about what it is like for Mr Stink living at the Crumb’s house.
  3. Talk about Mrs Crumb running for MP.

 

• Draw some pictures and write captions underneath

 

Times tables

Go on Hit the Button and practise the 3x tables.

Play at least 3 times; try to improve your score each time.

 

Counting

Count out loud in 4s up to 48 and then back to 0.

 

Sumdog

Go on Sumdog and complete the following challenges:

• Division Challenge: 11^th January – 17^th January
• ×2 ×3 ×4 ×5 ×8 ×10 tables: 11^th January – 17^th January
• Suffix Challenge: 11^th January – 17^th January

 

Maths

Today in Maths you are going to complete some arithmetic questions.

There are two sets of questions to choose from – Set A is slightly easier than Set B. Have a look at both and choose which you feel will be best for you.

Set the timer for 20 minutes and work through the questions.

Remember some of the strategies we use in class:

• Drawing number lines
• Drawing base 10
• Using your times tables
• Partitioning the number (splitting it up)

 

After 20 minutes, use the answer sheet to check your answers.

If you can, go through any corrections with somebody at home.

 

French

Click on this link then scroll down and select Lesson 9 with audio.

http://www.rachelhawkes.com/Resources/Y3_French/Yr3AutumnFr.php

Listen to the pronunciation of the words and repeat them.

If possible, ask an adult to play the game on slide 12.

In your home learning book, write the date in French:

mardi douze février (remember no capitals for days and months in French)

Write the learning objective: Can I name items in a pencil case?

Choose at least 6 items from your pencil case. Draw them and write the French word next to them. Test yourself – can you still say the words correctly? Use the powerpoint to check your pronunciation and your spelling. Don’t forget any accents – they change the sound of letters.  Fantastique!

Song: La neige tombe – keeping yourself warm in the snow by rubbing your nose and arms, clapping your hands and stamping your feet.

Merci. A bientot!

 

Art

Hieroglyphs were symbols that the Ancient Egyptians used for writing. Some symbols stood for words and some for sounds. Ancient Egyptian school children had to learn 700 hieroglyphs.

If you can, print out two copies of the hieroglyphic alphabet attached to this blog.

If you don’t have a printer, you can have a go at drawing them.

Colour both in the same like the example attached to this blog – you can choose whatever colours you like.

 

Cut one of your sheets up so that you just have the pictures, not the letters.

 

Make a word out of your pictures and then give somebody the other sheet.

Ask them to figure out what word you have made.

You could do this each day. Stick the sheet and the cut-out pictures up on your fridge, or somewhere everybody will see. Create a different word each day for people in your house to figure out.

There are pictures attached to this blog to help you understand.
