As there are some children returning to school this week, we have made some changes to the way you will see your home learning. Below is a slide show of your work for the week. Simply go through the slide show to see what you should be doing each day. This is still flexible and you can work in a way to best suit you! The slideshow is a guide but don’t worry if you do different tasks on different day. IXL and purple mash activities still accessible as normal. Have fun and enjoy your week.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi,

I hope you and your family are well. It’s a very surreal time for us all at the moment. If you are a little anxious about the coronavirus this online course might be worth checking out. It is suitable for children aged 7-12 years and has been shared with us from our Healthy Minds Team.

Dear Year 3 Parents,

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to home learning throughout this long period away from school. It has been wonderful to keep in touch online and via telephone with the children and yourselves.

Now that some children are attending school, I will be posting lessons for the week each weekend. Lessons are still organised into days and online platforms such as IXL will still be used.

Thank you again to both adults and children for the fantastic dedication to learning.

Many thanks,

Miss Tait x

 

Friday 5th June 2020

Morning Year 3, your tasks today are:

IXL – complete your tasks online.

RE-

Now that you have collected some junk/materials from around the house, we want you to spend some time just thinking!

We want you to gather as much junk/materials as you can and spread them out on a table. Have a little think about what you could make with the materials you have. You don’t have to draw or write anything down, today is just time to have a little think about what you COULD make.

Here are some things to think about.

Could you make these out of toilet rolls or kitchen rolls?

Could you cut up the cardboard from a cereal box to make these different shapes needed for this ride?

Could you cut up an egg carton to make seats for a ride?

Have fun !

Enjoy! Miss Tait x

Thursday 4th June 2020

Morning my gorgeous lot!

Today’s jobs are:

Mathletics – more work on shapes

Science –

What is reflection?

Our objective today will be: To understand that light can be reflected from different materials.

When light from an object is reflected by a surface, it changes direction. It bounces off the surface at the same angle as it hits it.

Smooth, shiny surfaces such as mirrors and polished metals reflect light well. Dull and dark surfaces such as dark fabrics do not reflect light well.

 

Follow the bbc bitesize website link to find out more about reflection and then complete the purple mash activity ‘Reflection and Surfaces’.

Wednesday 3rd June 2020

Morning year 3! Just a quick note to say we are now over 40, 000 questions on IXL- well done! Keep up the magnificent work.

Today’s jobs:

IXL – complete the assigned questions for maths and English

TTRS – play for 20 minutes

RE –

Today we are thinking about rules that are set by different religions.  Look at this video on Purple Mash about rules in Islam, then see if you can create some rules of your own by completing the activity at the end.

https://www.purplemash.com/#app/pup/rules

Good luck and enjoy,

Miss Tait

Tuesday 2nd June 2020

It was lovely to see so many of you back to working on IXL yesterday. If you didn’t manage it, why not log on today and catch up!

Today’s jobs:

Mathletics – We will be learning about ‘shape’. Complete your assigned tasks.

Here is a link to help you.

https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/polygons.html

Look at ‘Names of polygons’ to look at the number of sides. This will help you complete the task.

Reading –

Read chapter 6 of The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe

Click to access LionWitchWardrobe_CSL.pdf

DT – 

Lesson 1

For DT over the next couple of weeks, we would like you to create something very special. We would like you to design and make a ride that you may find at a theme park/ fairground. We do not want you to go out and buy materials. We want you to use junk/recycling you have in your home- so start collecting! This will take a few lessons so please don’t do everything at once!

Here are some examples:

           

Your task today before you even begin to think about your model, is to do some research. Work with an adult to research different theme parks/rides across the world to give you some inspiration. Have a look to see how many different kinds of rides you can see and have a think, what could you make them out of?

Some questions to start you off:

• What is the most popular theme park in England?
• What is the most popular theme park in the world?
• Find three rides from Disney World.
• What else might you find at a theme park/fairground?
• How tall is the tallest roller coaster in the world?

Here is a video to watch which shows you lots of different types of rides.

Nickelodeon Theme Park

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiiX_QMtpqQ

Enjoy learning about different rides! Remember to start collecting some junk/food cartons – don’t throw them away!

Miss Tait x

 

Monday 1st June 2020

Wow! I cannot believe in is now June! I hope you all had a fabulous, relaxing week and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Today’s jobs:

IXL – I have only set you one new English and one new Maths IXL. I would like you to take today to complete those, then catch up on some tasks you haven’t managed to complete yet.

PE – 

What’s Your Name workout

Select each letter of your name and that’s the activity you have to do. You could keep it simple by just doing your first name, challenge yourself with first name and surname OR super challenge with first, middle and surname!!

What will your work out be?

Science –

Our new science topic this half term is ‘Light and Dark’. Before you start today’s task make a list of all of the things you already know about light and dark. What would you like to know?

Light sources:

A source of light makes light. The Sun and other stars, fires, torches and lamps all make their own light and so are examples of sources of light. Some animals, such as fireflies and glow-worms, are light sources. They make their own light to attract mates.

 

Explore the bbc bitesize website to find out about light what it is and light sources. There is a presentation, a ‘fill in the gaps’ activity and a quiz.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbssgk7/articles/z2s4xfr

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zg6r82p

When you have completed your research visit purple mash and complete the activity ‘Sources of Light’.

https://www.purplemash.com/#tab/pm-home/science/light_and_dark

What is dark?

Can you write a sentence to answer this question?

(Hint: the answer to this question you will find on the Seymour science video clip)

Enjoy! Miss Tait x

Friday 22nd May 2020

Good morning my lovely lot. Hope you have all had a lovely week and are looking forward to a week off. There will be no work set over the week off so relax, spend time with your lovely families and enjoy some fresh air.

Today’s jobs:

IXL – complete assigned tasks

TTRS- Play for 20 minutes

Topic –

• Animal Silhouette and Patterns:A silhouette is the black shape of an object. We can also say, shadow. Today you are going to use animal silhouettes and patterns to make an animal themed piece of artwork.Firstly, I would like you to think about your favourite animal. Think about its skin or fur in terms of pattern and texture. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Can you think of any words to describe it i.e. furry, spiky, slimy, fuzzy, sharp etc.? What colour is the skin or fur of your animal? Look at the animals below and see if you can describe their skin, fur or feathers.     

When you have chosen your creature, using black paper and a pencil, trace, draw the outline of your chosen animal, carefully including part of its body that helps identify it.

Next, carefully cut the outline of your animal out of the black paper and put it to one side. If you can’t find any black paper you could always use white and then colour your animal shape in black with a black pencil or pen.

  

Next, using white paper, lightly draw the pattern of your animal’s skin or fur all across the page. Using your coloured pencils or oil pastels, fill in the colours inside your pattern. As you do this consider what texture might feel like and how you can convey that in your line quality. If your texture is fuzzy, use short soft strokes. If your texture is spiky, use long specific strokes. If your skin is bumpy like an octopus’ example, we left white areas around the suckers to show the suckers above the skin. When you have finished your skin/fur background you will then need to stick your black animal silhouette into the centre of your page……. hey presto you’ve created a piece of Animal Art!

  

Send us a photo showing your finished designs.

Enjoy, Miss Tait xx

Thursday 21st May 2020

Today’s jobs are:

Reading – read your book or a magazine/comic for 20 minutes.

Maths – complete your assigned mathletics tasks.

Topic- As part of our animal-themed week we are going to be making a piece of fish art- where the fish can open and close his mouth!

You will need:

-paper

-coloured pens/pencils

-pencil

Here is the link to watch the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk8DyJVe8fk

There are step by step instructions below if you are unable to watch the link. Have a think, once you have made your fish art, could you do it with any other animals?

Send over your finished pictures to the school FB page. Enjoy!

 

Fold your paper into thirds.

Draw the outline of the fish with a pencil.

Open up, and draw the inside pattern and teeth.

Open it up and go over pencil markings in darker pencil or pen.

Colour it in.

Open and close the picture to show the fish opening and closing its mouth!

Enjoy creating your picture! Miss Tait x

Good morning my lovely lot. Hope you and your families all had a fantastic weekend and are keeping safe! Before you continue reading, just a reminder that IXL tasks go live on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday… but you can complete them whenever is a good time for you.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and in light of the current situation, it is even more important than usual to raise awareness.

Kindness has been chosen as this year’s theme because “Kindness strengthens relationships, develops community and deepens solidarity. It is a cornerstone of our individual and collective mental health. Wisdom from every culture across history recognises that kindness is something that all human beings need to experience and practise to be fully alive.”

We have decided to try and take part in an act of kindness each day this week and want you to join in. It may be an act of kindness towards a friend, family member, a stranger or even yourself!

Job 1

Why not do something kind and make someone laugh today? It has been proven that having a laugh is super for your mental health and well being! It reduces stress and releases ‘feel-good’ chemicals.

So, we want to you think of your best jokes to make people laugh. Any great ones you can think of, send us a video of you telling them or write them down and we will share them on the Facebook page.

Here’s one to get you started…..

I think you can do even better….

Job 2 – Listen to this story online about being kind

Job 3 – complete your IXL

Enjoy, Miss Tait x

Tuesday 5th May 2020 

Good morning Year 3. For the rest of this week we will be focusing on VE Day tasks, and continuing the geography we started next week. Today’s tasks are:

Reading 

Listen to and read along to Chapter 3 of The lion, the witch and the wardrobe. It’s getting GOOD!!!

Maths 

Complete Mathletics task – Remember when completing this task, you can draw circles, a bar model or divide by the denominator. EG. 1/4 of 20. Your could draw 4 circles and share out 20, remember to count 1 circle for the answer after checking they are all equal. Or, you could divide by 4.

1/3 of 18- draw 3 circles, share out 18, check they are equal, count one circle. Or, divide by 3.

TTRS – We have create a short battle for Year 3 against Year 2 – it starts today, ends Thursday! Let’s try to win Year 3!!! If you spend 10 minutes a day I’m sure we can do it!

Topic

As Friday 8th of May is the  75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe Day,  Mrs Watson, Mrs Calder and I decided we would include some fun activities to your home learning this week. Today we would like you to design a V.E. Day Medal !

This medal celebrated the end of the First World War and was given to soldiers who fought in the war. It was a symbol of great pride but its design was also highly symbolic. 

Your task 

We would like you to design your own medal to mark the end of the Second World War that is just as symbolic and creative.  Your medal can be any shape or size but after you have designed your medal, annotate it to explain why you have chosen your design. If you decide to make a real medal, you could write a few notes on a separate piece of paper.

Possible things to research before you start:

• The years of the Second World War
• Who were England’s allies? What colours would represent them?
• Which different army forces helped out in the war? How could you reflect them all in your medal?
• Are there any symbols which signify the end of the war that you could include?
• Are there any symbols which signify the soldiers’ sacrifice and then the victory?

We really look forward to seeing your designs. Please send them over to the Hedworthfield Facebook page so we can share them on the page.

Enjoy,

Miss Tait xx

Thursday 30th April 2020 

Good morning year 3! We only have a couple more days then it is the weekend! Huge well done to all of you – the jobs you are doing on IXL are fantastic! I am very proud of you all !

 

Today’s tasks- Remember, do what’s right for you and your family and complete as much as you can. If you finish the mathletics task and can manage more, then there is a purple mash and another maths job too. Take it at your own pace.

Mathletics – equal parts (Fractions)

Purple Mash –

Digestive System 1

Now that we have learned all about healthy eating and the different food groups, we will now look at what happens to the food once it is in our body. This is called the digestive system.

Look at the following links with your adults at home to help you to learn about what the digestive system is and how it works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3E1txcKPe8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKpYv9sXBSE

https://www.ducksters.com/science/digestive_system.php

https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/science/general-science/your-digestive-system/

Purple Mash – now that you have learned a bit about the digestive system, see if you can label the body parts on the activity ‘digestive system’. We will check to see how you get on!

Good Luck !

TTRS

Remember there is a battle going on between teachers and students on TTRS. I will be playing today so make sure you all have a go- don’t let me catch you up.

Hit the Button 

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Why not focus on division today on hit the button? 10 minute practise will really help recap those key skills!

Enjoy xx

Wednesday 29th April 2020

Good morning my lovely lot. Your jobs for today are below, but first, why not try a little activity this morning. It’s “World Wish Day” today- so here is something you can do. 

Wish Jar

As tricky as it is at the moment, it is important to remember that it is only temporary (won’t last forever). Why not make a ‘wish jar’ and plan in all the lovely things you wish to do once this is all over. You could find a jar and add notes in, write on a piece of paper or even write a letter with all the things you hope to do once it is safe to return to normality.

Some things on my list are:

• See my family and friends!
• Give my nephews the biggest hug ever!
• Go for a walk around B&M and Home Bargains and buy lots of things I don’t need but want!
• Go for a meal at my favourite restaurant.
• Get a McDonalds cheeseburger. (whoops!)
• Have some friends and family round for a BBQ in the sun!
• Get my hair cut!
• Go for a coffee and catch up with my closest friends.

And most importantly…

• See all of the lovely children and families from Hedworthfield!

What would be on your list?

Once you have made your list or jar, take a picture and send to the HF Facebook page. Enjoy! We look forward to hearing from you all.

Today’s jobs:

Mathletics – fractions. Drag the white boxes and line them up on top of the bar. This will help you to see how many equal parts you have.

IXL – maths and english jobs

Topic

 

Plan a healthy meal 

 

Use your knowledge of healthy eating and the different food groups to design a healthy meal. This could be breakfast, lunch or tea. There are lots of ways you could show us your healthy meal. You could:

• Draw a picture of your healthy meal on some paper. 
• Cut out some pictures from magazines or online and create your plate. 
• Film a cooking show style video of you or your adult preparing your healthy meal!

If you can, label the different foods and which food group they come from.

********** Class Novel (Optional) – The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe**********

Year 3- we have been missing reading our novel at school so I thought we could start a new one! How does that sound?

I thought we could read it together as I haven’t read this since a was little so it would be good to refresh my memory of it too.

Here is the link to the story so you can read it.

Click to access LionWitchWardrobe_CSL.pdf

It is long and there are some tricky words in there, so I would like you to just focus on one chapter a week- don’t read it all at once. I will also try to upload a recording of each chapter each week so you can listen to it, or read and listen at the same time.

Enjoy chapter one.

I hope you enjoy it! Apologies for any small mistakes I made!

Tasks for Chapter One:

• work with an adult to find out the meaning of any unknown words
• draw a picture of what you think Lucy can see as she enters the other side of the wardrobe
• make a prediction about what you think will happen

Take care and enjoy guys- please send in anything you wish to show me to the FB page. Miss Tait x

 

Tuesday 21st March 2020

Good morning my beautiful lot! It’s very sunny here across the river – how is it on your side? Sunny I hope! 🙂

I enjoyed chapter one so much yesterday , did you guys? I am going to have another read of it today to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything. Maybe you can do the same- but remember, don’t read on without me!

Today’s jobs please!

Maths –last little bit on bar statistics today on Mathletics. You are reading and analysing a bar chart.

Think carefully about the questions… Remember… “most” = the largest amount. “least” = the smallest amount.

I was very impressed with the scores from yesterday – noone got less than 90%. Let’s go for 100% today!

 

Spelling

As we are missing our weekly spelling tests, I have found some fantastic quizzes on purple mash. I will set you some spellings once a week. Your adult may choose to test you after a week which would be fantastic. Write the words down as your do the quiz and practise them.

As I can’t send home any sheets (you lucky things!) I would like you to get creative with how you practise spellings. Think of all the things we do in class – cheer leading chants, foam, on someone’s back, in the air, chalk etc.

Some ideas for practising here!

Topic 

History: Tutankhamun 

Today I would like you to research and find out about the famous Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun and his missing tomb. You may wish to use the following questions to help you in your research:

• When and where was Tutankhamen born?
• At what age did Tutankhamun become a Pharaoh?
• Why is Tutankhamen so famous?
• When was Tutankhamun’s tomb discovered?
• Who was Howard Carter?
• How did Howard Carter know where to look?
• Where was Tutankhamun buried?
• What did they find inside the Tomb?
• What is the Mummy’s Curse?

Create a report/poster/video about Tutankhamun and try to include any key dates or historical vocabulary.

You may wish to include a copy of the Tutankhamun mask you drew from previous task.

An alternative to the above would be to complete the Purple Mash activity about Tutankhamun

Can you believe it is the last day in March already? You are working so so hard I’m so happy!

We really are THE BEST CLASS EVER! 🙂

I hope you are all safe and working well with adults in the house to look after each other?! I am staying at home and doing lots of jobs on the computer. I can’t see my nephews little Oli and Elliot because of the virus so I think I might make an Easter card for them, what do you think? If there are any friends or family you are really missing at the moment, why don’t you draw them a picture or make them a card!

Good morning my lovely year 3 lot. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and stayed safe. I miss you all SO much!

A few changes this week… Instead of setting our curriculum job on purple mash each day, we will be alternating between purple mash and some arty/DT tasks you can complete at home linked to our topics.

New addition… We will also be setting work on IXL Maths and English 3 times per week. You should be receiving your passwords soon but if you haven’t yet, don’t worry, you will be able to complete your activities when you get your log in and password.

These extra online jobs are for you to complete in your own time – please do not feel like everything needs to be done each day!
