Hello Swallows and Swifts,

Here is Year 3’s home learning for Wednesday 10th February 2021. Please find your work for today below.

Login to Teams to find a video from your class teacher saying hello and introducing some of the tasks for the day. There is also a teaching video today from Miss Woodrow for your English lesson and one from Mrs Palmer for your art. Any activities that you need to carry out are attached to this blog on the website and can be found on the tab on the left hand side of the Year 3 Team in Microsoft teams

Important: This week, we are continuing our daily 11am small group zoom sessions, based on reading days. All the links remain the same as the ones previously sent to you. This week, we will read a text together in the meeting and then answer some questions about it. The text for this week is ‘Fossils, which we sent home in a brown envelope a couple of weeks ago. (Note: If you can’t find it at home, there are copies in the Year 3 Team, in a new channel on the left called Guided Reading Texts for 11am meetings. The texts are in the files section organised by day, and explain in the title which version of the text you should be reading.)

If you have any problems, questions or concerns then please feel get in touch with us at the following email addresses and we will do our best to get back to you as quickly as we can, bearing in mind we will be teaching in school also. swifts@cringleford.norfolk.sch.uk or swallows@cringleford.norfolk.sch.uk

Have a lovely day Year 3,

Mrs Palmer, Mrs Moore and Miss Woodrow

Maths: Measurement (subtract lengths)

After practising your addition yesterday, today’s lesson looks at subtraction (taking away and finding the difference). Again keep an eye out for the units of measurement in each part of each question and remember those key facts from last week 1) 100cm = 1m and 2) 10mm = 1cm

Here’s today’s video link https://vimeo.com/506146876

If you do find this lesson too challenging, you could take a look at the home learning in the blog for another year group, or find something you feel you would enjoy from one of the CPG maths books.

If you have finished quickly and would like an extra challenge, there are some links to other maths websites at the bottom of this sheet, your CPG books, or you could tackle some of the problem solving challenges involving length & perimeter that we gave you last Monday.

Don’t forget to keep practicing those times tables on TT Rockstars, and check out Active Learn for some more games to keep you busy.

English: I can generate ideas for my writing

Today is all about coming up with words and ideas for writing your own version of ‘The Bug Chant’ tomorrow.

Today’s lesson has two activities, plus Groovy Grammar, which could take a while. So we recommend leaving Groovy Grammar until the end and only completing it if you have time left in your English hour today.

** Alert ** There is a video for today’s lesson where Miss Woodrow explains the two tasks and shows examples of completing them, BUT at around 11 minutes the slides stop changing (for some reason!). Don’t panic, use the English presentation attached separately to follow along after that. It should still make sense! The activity sheet for you to complete today is also attached separately.

Spellings for this week: (we will ask you to test yourself on Friday)

Red Spellers (suffixes: adding +er and +est, rule 3, words ending with a short vowel sound & consonant ) bigger, biggest, hotter, hottest, fitter, fittest, sadder, saddest, prove, any

Red spelling workbooks: This week’s spellings come from unit 4 of the workbook. Practise by completing the spelling zone and word changers sections.

Yellow Spellers (top 200 high frequency words): going, gone, good, great, green, grow, gran, grandad

We published our usual Look, cover, write, check sheets and word search on Friday to help both red and yellow spellers.

Staying active: PE with Joe

Join Joe for a PE session quiz live at 9am or later in the day at a time which suits you.

Reading:

What are you reading at the moment? Take some time today to curl up with a book or a comic.

You could do any of the following types of reading:

- Read by yourself

- Read aloud to an adult, a sibling, a pet, or even yourself.

- Ask an adult to read to you.

Or try….

1) David Walliams is now reading stories from his “World’s Worst Children’ collections on his website https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/ or here if you have missed any https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses-catch-up/

2) Audible are also offering a range of free children’s books on audio at the moment, follow the link below to find out more. https://stories.audible.com/start-listen

3) Oak Academy library. This week, click on the link to meet the author Sally Gardner and read her story Mr Tiger, Betsy, and the Blue Moon’ for free. https://library.thenational.academy/

One of the 36 prints of Mt. Fuji created by the Japanese artist, Hokusai

1. Spanish: Greetings & animal names

Revision: 

Watch this BBC Super movers video to revise greetings in Spanish. Follow the actions and movements as you watch to help you learn. Once you have finished, try out some of the greetings, questions and answers on someone at home, or maybe a relative or friend on a video call. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1--ks2-mfl-spanish-greetings-with-ben-shires/zfksqp3

Main Task:   

Use this website to see how a matching pairs game can work using Spanish animal words and pictures. How quickly can you find the matches? https://matchthememory.com/spanishanimalstroy

You could make your own version of this using card or paper to play on your own or with someone at home. Just cut out some squares, draw a picture of an animal you know in Spanish on one piece, and the Spanish word for that animal on another. Make around 5-8 sets, turn them over, muddle them up and off you go!

2. Art: Mountain Mono Printing – part II Look in the Year 3 team chat, or the Home Learning Overviews and Resources tab on the left of the screen for this week’s art video lesson from Mrs Palmer. Today, she is explaining how to use the print blocks you made last week, to create your final Hokusai-style mountain picture.

· Top Marks – This is a great website to find interactive games. You can choose your age group and subject and then find fun games to play.

· Nrich – This is a great website to use for Maths. It provides activities and games which promote problem solving and fluency. Just click the link and then choose which area of Maths you are learning about at the moment.

· Timestable rockstars – A great way to practise your times tables. (login in the front of your reading record)

· active learn – Games and other activities set just for you (login in the front of your reading record)

· https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/2021 - Information and activities to help you to stay safe on the internet.

Other projects you can do if you have time:

Mountain Modellers: As mentioned in the blog yesterday, we would usually be collecting all kinds of cardboard boxes and junk modelling equipment to build a model mountain at the moment. At school, we would use the base of a cardboard box to build the mountain in, creating the shape with the junk modelling bits and masking tape (bottles are good for volcanoes!). We would then cover the model with strips of paper dipped in/painted over with watered down pva glue, before finally painting and labelling the features, after the paper and glue layer had dried. If you don’t have all the equipment for this, there are lots of other ways to make mountain models…sand, soil, rocks from you garden, lego, playdough or other modelling clay, or even as cakes! What can you come up with?

Fossil hunters: Warning – this requires an adult and some specialist equipment - Create your own fossil by filling a container (foil takeaway containers are ideal) with clay or playdough. Then firmly press an interesting item into the dough, then carefully remove it, learning behind a hole in the shape of the object. Something with a simple pattern, like a shell, works well. Then mix up some Plaster of Paris (with adult help, following instructions) and pour into the mould you have made. Leave it to set, remove from the mould and, hey presto! A fossil of your own which you can decorate, or leave as it is.
