New Weekly Home Learning Resources
We have now started to use the updated weekly White Rose Home Learning resources that match up with the daily
BBC Bitesize Maths lessons.
It will slightly change the order of Maths topics (for example the week beginning 18.5.20 will again be Fractions).
Once again feel free to use these in a way that suits you. We will add them on in weekly chunks from now on.
Each week will comprise of 5 activities (and answers) as well as a selection of videos to go alongside them.
Week 5 (wb 18.5.20) - Fractions
End of Term Assessments
Year 3 would normally have completed some Maths assessments before the Easter Holidays - just to help us evaluate pupil progression.
We have attached an Arithmetic paper and a Reasoning & Problem Solving paper as well as both marking schemes if you would like to have a go. As with the Fractions assessment, feel free to use this in whatever way you think best supports your child.
N.B. 21.5.20 - we will leave this assessments up for reference of Y3 expectations and targets.
Plant Topic
Our Big Question this term is: 'Do the biggest seeds grow the biggest plants?'.
You could investigate this at home! You could plant two or more different-sized seeds in pots either inside or outside. Think back to your work from Y2 about how best to look after these - sunshine, water and light are all important! Then see which grows the tallest.
Or you could take a picture of the seed in your hand and then a picture of you with the plant after 5 weeks. We could then compare these when we are back at school or you could show us on Facebook or Twitter.
Professor Jones is going to have a go so be sure to look out for his investigations!
Mrs Laidler has been investigating how plants grow in different temperatures which you can see on our Facebook page - maybe you could do the same?
One of Professor Jones' favourite activities is to pick a flower (make sure you ask permission first!) and then very slowly and carefully pick apart all the different parts. Can you name them all? Then using any art or recycled materials can you recreate a model of your flower? We would love to see your creations!
Can you create your own plant pot?
In case you forget to water your plant...
This is a great question to test your observational skills - either in the garden or out on a walk.
Which is the odd one out? Why?
Use your scientific knowledge to work this one out:
Home Experiments
Unfortunately we had to cancel our next school trip to Locomotion in Shildon for our Railways topic. However their Science team have sent us some fun
activities to do at home so have a go and we're sure Mr Jones would love to see some pictures on Facebook!
