Year 3 Learning from Home Thursday 23rd April

Some people might not have been able to get on the internet yesterday - don’t panic, we totally understand. Those children working in school couldn’t get on either. Please don’t worry but please make sure that you do yesterday’s work (Maths and English) before you do today’s work - otherwise some of it won’t make any sense!!! Don’t worry if you don’t get through it all by Friday!

Reading

How are you getting on with your reading? Have you managed to quiz? Are you near to your target yet?

30 minutes of lovely reading each day is sooooooo relaxing. I’ve really enjoyed having time to get lost in a good book. My favourite place is relaxing on my bed. Where’s yours? Maybe you could send us a photo.

Maths

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths.

Please go on Sumdog where you will find a times table challenge for you to complete.

English

Can you remember where we left off yesterday? Take a moment to think what happened. Think about the characters and how they were feeling yesterday.

Now read Chapter 4

Task 1 Have you answered any of your earlier questions? What are you thinking now? Do you have any new questions? Write your new questions in your book. (Remember punctuation and joined handwriting please)

Task 2 What do you think Jack's Mum said to the boys when she saw them? What did the boys say to Jack’s Mum?

Write a short conversation of what they might have said.

Remember to include " " and to say who said it. Use words instead of said. (eg called, whispered, hollered, cried, sobbed, muttered.) Think carefully about the “said words” that you chose because it helps to create the picture of what is happening.

Can you add any other detail in your conversation to create an even better picture of what is happening? Try to show and action or how they are feeling.

eg. “Yes, we’re here!” Jack hollered at the top of his voice, standing up and stumbling towards the door.

Art

Yes, it’s Thursday again and time for Art. Have a look at the exciting lesson that Mrs Curtis has posted for you today. Don’t forget to send us your photos.

Year 3 Wednesday 22nd April Learning at Home

Reading

Remember to do lots of reading (about 30 minutes each day) and quizzing on Accelerated Reader. How are you getting on with your quizzes? Are you nearly at your target? Please let us know when you have reached them and we can celebrate. We’ve had to reset some people’s targets - Well done!

Maths

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths work.

Here is today’s maths work to have a go at.

English

Are you ready for the next exciting chapter in our House Haunting story? Remember where we were up to yesterday. The boys had just heard a noise as they were going up the stairs. Then they heard it again but … “This time it was louder and nearer”. Read the next chapter to find out what happens…

Task 1 Have you answered any of your questions from yesterday? Do you have any new questions? What are you thinking now? Write any new questions you might have.

Task 2 In this chapter we learn some more things about the boys characters. We learn these things about the boys because the author has inferred it through his writing.

How would you describe each of the boys? How do you know this? What did the author say to make you think this? (Use the suggestions below to help you to create your sentences.)

I think that Ben is _________ because...

I know that Jack is _________ because…

Task 3 Something to talk about…

What can we infer by ... …

• Jack’s legs wobbled like jelly as he followed.

• Jack shivered as they turned the handle and the door creaked open.

• The door banged shut.

  They held each other even tighter and sunk against the wardrobe, hoping the darkness would swallow them up.

Science

For your science lesson this week, Mrs Nel says…

Wow! Can you believe how quickly everything is growing outdoors at the moment? I wonder how plants manage to survive and grow? I would like you to research the parts of a flowering plant…

Draw a labelled diagram of a flowering plant and then write a detailed description of the function of each part. ( You might want to look in a book/ an ebook or on the internet to help you with this part.)

If you are lucky to have your own garden your family may have had to start removing weeds. If there is a weed that has been removed with roots etc intact put it aside and observe what happens to it over the next week. Record what you notice each day and at the end of the week look over all your observations. Can you write an explanation of why you think any changes may have occurred? What do these changes tell you about the plants needs to grow and survive?

It is always wonderful to enjoy nature and now is your chance to be creative. Write a poem, rap or even a riddle about the parts of a plant and their functions. Keep safe, have fun outdoors and remember to always be curious about what you see.

Don’t forget to keep watching out for how the plants, flowers and trees are changing as you go on your walks.
