Sea Turtles - Year 3

week beginning 1st June 2020

Welcome back to our home learning page. I hope you all had some fun during half term, I have spent a lot of time in my garden sorting flower beds, building lego models and going for walks with my children. I have also sorted exciting learning activities for you to work on this week.

Important:

I will be marking and giving feedback on 1 piece of your work each week! Please send in your work to seahorsesandseaturtles@outlook.com

This week please send in a piece of English!

Keep up all the super work that you are doing! I am so proud of you all!

Have a lovely week of learning at home. I would love to see work from all of you this week. If you are outside remember to stay safe in the sun, wear a sun hat and glasses if you have them and put sun cream on regularly.

Sun Safety

Summer is here and the weather is getting hot! Use the power point and links below to find out how to keep yourself and others safe in the sun.

Challenge - can you make a poster to remind everyone in your house how to stay safe in the sun. If you email them to me I can also add them to the website to help keep your friends safe.

Year 3 Photo Board

I would love to see what you have been up to each week so I have created a Year 3 photo board.

• You can send in one photo each week for us to display on this web page.
• The photo should show what you have been up to with your Home Learning.
• If you are in the photo, make sure it doesn't show your name.
• If you are not in the photo, just put your first name.
• All photos should be landscape.
• New photos will be uploaded each day.

Send your photo to:

                       seahorsesandseaturtles@outlook.com 

In the subject box, please write, 'Photo - followed by your class'.

You must make sure you have your parents' permission to send in any photos.

English

In your writing this week you will be thinking about nouns. We will be identifying nouns and using expanded noun phrases in our writing! 

Remember our writing rules:

• Every sentence begins with a capital letter
• Every sentence ends with punctuation . or ! or ?
• Your handwriting should be joined and sitting on the line
• If you include speech in your writing use speech marks 

Writing should be fun, so enjoy your tasks 

Reading

I would you like you to read for at least 10 minutes each day. You can read from a  fiction or non-fiction book or a comic or a newspaper or the internet (please ask you parents to check the website first). 

Choose one of the reading comprehension challenges. 1* star is a hot challenge, 2** is a hotter challenge and 3*** is the hottest challenge. Choose your challenge. 

Remember...

• read the questions THEN read the text and circle or highlight important information that will help you answer the questions.
• if you do not know the meaning of a word STOP and use a dictionary to find out what it means
• give detailed answers to the questions
• check your answer makes sense

Enjoy your reading Sea Turtles 

Maths

This week in maths you will be learning to read and answer questions about pictograms and bar charts. You will also complete some charts of your own to record data (information).

There is also a weekly challenge and the weekly arithmetic session.

Have fun in maths 

Science

In science we are going to be finding out more about the human body. At school we have already learnt that our diet is the food we eat and that nutrition is the vitamins, minerals and energy that our body absorbs from our diet. Some people have a healthy diet and some have an unhealthy diet. Most people have a diet that has some healthy and some unhealthy foods.

We are going to find out more about which foods are healthy, about different types of skeleton and our skeleton.

Art

This week in Art we are going to be creating concentric circle artwork in the style of Kandinsky! I hope you have fun!  

Handwriting

Take lots of care when you practise your handwriting. Remember all letters sit on the line and should be the same size, ascenders are tall and descenders go below the line. 

Most letters join BUT there are a few that do not! 

• Capital letters NEVER join.
• q y j g z x do not join to the next letter

History

This term we will be learning about the Ancient Egyptians in history.

We will found out about their rulers, the buildings they made, the special ways they treated people when they died and their daily life. There will be some research and some things to make or draw.

R.E.

This half term we will be learning about Judaism. We will be using a new word

• covenant (promise)

and finding out about the promises God made the Jewish people.

Computing

In our E-Safety lessons we have been using the website Interland.

Several online companies are opening their websites or apps for free over this time to support children learning from home.

Teach Monster is an app to help kids learn to read in school and it'll be free to use at home due to coronavirus disruption. Download free this week on Apple: apple.co/2V92VL5, on Amazon (from Thurs) amzn.to/2VgOwfR, or 0.99 on Android: bit.ly/2cohkeR 

This app is designed to help children learn to read so will not be appropriate for all especially more confident readers but I wanted to make you aware of the resource.

Times Table Rockstars has a partner program called NumBots which has been made available currently for 60 days free of charge. You can access it through TTR using the password you were given at the start of the year.

Online Video Learning with BBC Bitesize!

BBC Bitesize is a super learning resource, today they have launched home learning daily lessons.

Every day there will be an English and Maths lesson, and a foundation lesson too. The English and Maths lessons will cover the Year 3 curriculum so you can practice the skills we have learned in class.

It would be fantastic if you could watch the lessons online, especially the English and Maths as they will revise your skills in SPAG and number.

I have added the link to the Year 3 daily lessons below.
