Year 3

MATHS

Times Tables: Practise your tables at least three times a week. You can use: Filbert Fox , Cyril Swan , Times Table Rock Stars and Hit the Button games to help you.

We have also got Numbots free at the moment. The login is the same as your TTRS login and it is based on practising key skills of addition and subtraction. The challenges get harder, as you work your way through the story.
If you fancy a challenge, have a go at this nRich problem.I know some of you have been connecting with each other over the internet, so this might be one you play together.

ENGLISH

Click on Literacy Shed and watch the video ‘Marshmallows’. I have written tasks on a separate English homework sheet.

HISTORY

Watch the film clip (you have seen it in class too). Record in your own way, the information you have found out – e.g. picture, information poster, powerpoint, story, diary entry, model etc.

In Maths this week, we will be working on how addition and subtraction are the inverse of each other. I have set a task on MyMaths for children to complete.
I have printed some handwriting sheets for practise this week. The words link to our work on homophones. Once they have practised the handwriting. They can use the homophone correctly in a sentence of their own.
Thanks,
Miss Beale

In Maths, we are looking at right angles. They can identify objects round the home that have right angles or angles smaller/bigger than a right angle. The evidence could be a photo, a drawing or a list of objects with the types angles. I will also put an angles MyMaths activity for those who wish to complete it.
In Science, we are focussing on magnets. Are there things around the house that would be attracted to a magnet? Are there things in the house that use magnets to work?
Thanks,
Miss Beale

In Maths this week, we are working on adding and subtracting fractions. I have set some fraction work on MyMaths.
This week, in preparation for World Book Day, children to need to choose a story they wish to share with Y6 (preferably with an animal theme) and bring it in on Thursday.
Thanks,
Miss Beale

In Maths this week, we are working on measurement. Have a look around the house to see the different units of measurement we use everyday.
In English, the children will be working on journey stories. I would like them to write a short recount of a journey they have had, using past tense endings correctly.
Thanks,
Miss Beale

Year 3 Homework: 10.2.20
After half term, our topic will be focussing on the ancient civilisation of Egypt so any information you want to find out over the holidays, or if you want to produce a project piece, you can. Alternatively, you could focus on our Science topic of forces and magnets to find out about.
Keep up with reading and sharing books as this is really important to extend your vocabulary and their comprehension skills.
I have printed some multiplication and division tasks for practise.
Have a lovely holiday filled with family time.

FYI I have added some MyMaths tasks if the children want to do some revision and I have set the tables on TTRS too. I have also updated the books on Bug Club to match the reading assesment they did last week. Some have stayed on the same book band, due to needing more work on comprehension. Some, however, have moved a colour band.

Hope that helps.
Many thanks,
Miss Beale

The last few weeks, we have been working on written methods of multiplication and division. They are getting the method for multiplication and division of two digit by 1 digit numbers but they are making mistakes because their table facts aren’t secure yet. I am going to send home multiplication and division sheets home over the next few weeks to try and secure these. Any tables revision using times tables rockstars, hit the button or BBC supermovers will also help.
Spelling this week is to recap 100 high frequency words. They should know these from Y1/2, however, they are making errors in their written work. I am only expecting them to practise the ones they don’t know. I will select 12 words from the list for next week’s spelling test. For those who know all these, they can practise any words from past lists that they have got wrong.
Many thanks,
Miss Beale

Two tasks have been set on MyMaths . One is linked to our current focus on x/÷ and one is revision of previous work (money Y2 skills).
For English, can children find an advert (child friendly) for us to look at next week. We are looking at persuasive language.
Thanks,
Miss Beale

spelling – s, ss, ch as a sh sound (French origin)

I have printed a multiplication grid and division games to support tables practise. We are revisiting multiplication written methods again, but if children don’t know their table facts rapidly, it makes this a very challenging unit for them.
For English, can the children find synonyms of said (e.g. replied, called, shouted). They can use any book(s)they have at home.
Thanks,
Miss Beale
