This week we would like you to focus on finding the perimeter of both 2D shapes and compound shapes. We will also be looking at answering perimeter word problems. There is a video of Miss Smith modelling these tasks and methods to you on the Hobletts Manor Junior School website under the heading families and on video resources. There are also attached documents/worksheets for each activity that you can use in the additional documents section.
Remember we have books in school if you need them to record your calculations and answers. If you do not have a printer and would like a worksheet, please email the year three-email address and we can print them out for you and leave in the office at the front of the school. We can provide stationary too. The video below explains working out the perimeter of a shape in more detail - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvmxsbk/articles/zsr4k7h Activity 1: Calculating the perimeter of both squares & rectangles. Looking at the attached document below, the squares and rectangles are divided into centimetre squares. Can you calculate the perimeter of the different shapes below? The shapes on the attached document are not drawn to scale. Remember to look at Miss Smith’s video to see how to work out the perimeter.
Activity 2: Calculating the perimeter of different shapes. Looking at the worksheet attached below (Activity 2) Can you work out the perimeter of the different shapes below by adding up the lengths of each side of the shape? Write the answer next to each shape and remember that these drawings are not drawn to scale. There are squares next to each shape to do your working if needed.
Activity 3: Calculating the perimeter of a compound shape. A compound shape is a shape that is made up from more than one other shape; for example, it could be an L shape that is created from joining two rectangles. The compound shape below on the attached document (Activity 3) has been made from two squares. The shapes on the attached document are not drawn to scale, the compound shapes have been divided into centimetre squares on page one, and on page 2, each length of the compound shape has been written down. Can you calculate the perimeter of the different compound shapes on the attached worksheet?
Activity 4: Perimeter word problems. Can you have ago at answering the different perimeter word problems on the attached document below? (Activity 4) Remember to show your working when answering the questions and remember you can always use column addition when adding the lengths together. The shapes are not drawn to scale. I have also written the word problems below:
Activity 5: To learn to solve problems including perimeter. Drawings of different dinosaur enclosures have been given to Professor Lockhart. He needs to know which enclosures will fit the different dinosaurs. Can you help him by calculating the perimeter of each enclosure? (diagrams of enclosures are on the attached document below – Activity 5) Write inside each enclosure, which dinosaurs could fit.
Before deciding which dinosaurs will fit into each enclosure, you need to work out the perimeter of each enclosure.
Activity 6: Challenge/Extension Activity. How many different rectangles can you draw with a perimeter of 16cm? On the attached document below (Activity 6) there is some square paper dividing into centimetre squares to help you draw your different rectangles. I wonder how many there are?
We will upload the answers onto the Year 3 blog on Friday so that you can check your answers. If you have any questions, please contact us via the Year 3 email address – year3@hoblettsjm.herts.sch.uk |

Week 7: Get to know me! This week we would like you to create a personal profile, which is all about you; your likes, dislikes, and anything else you think is important to know. These profiles are great to get you thinking about your new school year and the things you may want to improve or do differently.
Activity 1: All about me. For this activity, you will start by drawing a picture of yourself. First, think about your face. Try using a mirror to get all the features just right. Then, think about the finer details of your drawing to make it as much like you as possible. For example:
When your drawing is complete, we would like you to write a short paragraph underneath your picture that is all about yourself! Think about the things that you consider being fun, interesting, or special about you. For example:
Start with introducing yourself, your name, age and maybe where you are from. Then think about your interesting facts. Remember to:
Then, Page 2 asks for more information. Some of these you might have discussed in your paragraph but that is ok! Work through each section and complete the boxes. For this activity, you do not need to use full sentence but instead, try using bullet points. Use the attachment below, Activity 1_All about me, to complete the activity
Activity 2: Proud cloud For this activity, we would like you to think about all the things you have achieved this year. Things that make you proud. These can be either in school or at home, i.e.
You will then write your achievements into the clouds to create your own proud cloud! Remember to:
Use the attachment below, Activity 2_cloud template. When you have completed your clouds cut them out and stick them onto the rainbow attached, Activity 2_rainbow. Once completed you will have your very own proud cloud to look back on all your achievements this year!
Activity 3: My goals For your next activity, we would like you to think about your goals for next year. These are things you would like to achieve. Again, these can be in school or at home. For example:
Remember to:
Use the attachment below, Activity 3_My goals, to complete the activity.
Activity 4: A special message Finally, we would like you to come up with a special message for your new teacher. This can be anything you would like to say. Maybe, how excited you are for the new year. Alternatively, something you are feeling a little nervous about (which is normal because changes can make us all nervous!) You may also want to include a question. Maybe asking about your new classroom or the topics you will be focusing on next year. The choice is yours! Remember to write in full sentences and use a question mark if needed! Then, we would like you to write a special message to yourself. Something that is important to you for the new school year. This may be as simple as, stay positive or try your best. Again, the choice is yours. Use the attachment below, Activity 4_A special message, to complete the activity. Use this time to reflect on the past year and the things you want to achieve next year!
Activity 5: Mystery game For this activity, you need to imagine you are a detective! You have been hired as the chief inspector of Hemel Police to solve the case of Mr McGregor’s missing Carrot! Use the attachment below, Activity 5_Mystery game, to complete the task and solve the mystery! All the instructions you need to follow can be found on the front page of the story case file. Good Luck! |

Traditional tales Think back to the characters you created and the new ending to your story. You will now be writing up your traditional tale using your plans from last week. When writing a story remember to: Use capital letters and full stops. Paragraphs. Inverted commas for speech. Past tense verbs – it’s already happened (lived, skipped, ran, whispered, yelled) https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/z3dbg82
Activity 1: Introduction First, you will write the beginning of your story. This is the most important part as it introduces your characters and the setting. What you need to think about for this activity is the use of powerful adjectives. Adjectives are words which describe something. These are vital to help the reader visualise your story. Use the link below to explain adjectives in more detail: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/zy2r6yc You will use adjectives to describe your setting and characters as you introduce them. For this activity, you will need a piece of paper to write up your Tale. Use the sheet below, Activity 1_sentence starters, to help you get started. You can also use the example attached below (Activity 1_starter example) for more help.
Activity 2: The middle/problem What happens next? Now you have introduced your good character, think about what happens next. This is the part where we usually meet the ‘bad’ character, and something goes wrong! For this activity, you will continue with your writing yesterday, moving onto the next part of your story. Remember to leave a line before starting your new paragraph! Below is an example to help you (Activity 2_ writing example). You can also use the, Activity 2_sentence opener mat, to give you some ideas for sentence starters. For this activity, you will also need to remember the use of inverted commas. These are used to show that someone is speaking. Use the link below to explain inverted commas in more detail: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/ztcp97h
Activity 3: The ending How does your story end? You have now completed the introduction and middle of your story. All that is left is for you to write the ending! How is the problem solved? It is up to you how your story ends but remember, traditional tales usually end happily ever after. For this activity you will continue with your piece of writing from yesterday. Remember to use full sentences, capital letters and full stops, as well as adjectives and inverted commas! You can use the attachment below, Activity 3_example ending, to help you.
Activity 4: Checklist Use the attachment below, Activity 4 _checklist, to read back over your story and check it makes sense. You are checking for punctuation: full stops and inverted commas, as well as elements of a traditional tale i.e. characters and setting. Finally, you will rate your story out of 10. What do you think was good about your tale? Maybe you used lots of powerful adjectives to describe your characters. What do you think you could improve? Maybe, the use of inverted commas for speech. Use the checklist to help you answer the questions.
Challenge: Look back at where your characters are speaking. Have you used the word, said? If so, replace it with a more exciting word to improve your writing! I.e. growled, sang, whispered, yelled, called, asked, answered, and bellowed.

This half term we are continuing our learning about Forces and Magnets.
Activity 1 Can you watch the following BBC bitesize video to understand Magnets? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zyttyrd/articles/zpvcrdm Then complete the question and quiz below the video.
Activity 2 Using everything you have learnt by watching the BBC bitesize video above can you complete the Exploring Magnets worksheet.
Activity 3 Can you watch the following BBC bitesize video to understand which materials are magnetic? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zyttyrd/articles/zw889qt Then complete the question and quiz below the video.
Challenge Could you create a magnetic game? You can use the magnetic game worksheet to help you design it. Some ideas to help you:
Racing Game You could draw a racetrack on card or paper. Cut out cardboard people or cars to race on the track, and attach a paper clip to each one. By holding a magnet under the track, you can control a racer and move it around the track.
Fishing game You could draw a pond on cardboard, or use a bowl or tray. Cut some fish shapes out of cardboard and attach a paper clip to each one. Place them in your pond. Tie a magnet to a straw with a length of string to make a fishing rod. Use the fishing rod to catch fish from the pond.
Magnetic maze You could draw a maze on a piece of card. Hold a magnet under the card and try to guide a paper clip around the maze. Can you find your way to the centre, or make your way out?

This week we would like you to focus on pictograms. This week’s activities will help you become more confident with answering questions based on a pictogram and drawing a pictogram from given information. There is a video of Miss Smith modelling these tasks and methods to you on our website under the heading Families within the Video Resources Centre. There are also attached documents/worksheets for each activity that you can use in the additional documents section.
Remember we have books in school if you need them to record your calculations and answers. If you do not have a printer and would like a worksheet, please email the year three-email address and we can print them out for you; we can also provide stationary too.
Activity 1: True or False. Looking at the different pictograms on the attached documents below, can you identify whether the different statements are either true or false and circle the correct answer? Remember to always look at the scale for the pictogram. There are three pictograms and three sets of statements on the attached document. If you do not want to print the worksheets, you can record whether each statement is true or false in a book or on a piece of paper.
Activity 2: Interpreting data. On the worksheet attached below are three different pictograms with questions related to each one. Can you answer the questions by looking at the pictograms carefully to work out the answers? Remember to always look at the scale carefully. We have also put the questions below but you will need the pictograms to look in order to answer the questions.

Traditional tales This week, we are looking at traditional tales and writing our own. A traditional tale is a story that has been told and retold for many years, making them very well known. They are commonly based on magic, set in faraway kingdoms, using characters such as prince and princesses, monsters, fairies and talking animals. These stories often follow the same pattern, where a problem occurs and is overcome. They also begin with, once upon a time and finish with, happily ever after. Can you think of any traditional tales?
Activity 1: Starter activity – Traditional tales As your first activity, we would like you to familiarise yourself with some traditional tales. This will help us to when we come to create our own later in the week. Use the attachment below, Activity 1 name the tale, to complete the task.
Can you think of any different tales? Your next job is to now compare the tales you have looked at in more detail, considering what is the same and what is different about them. Use the attachment, Activity 1 Comparing Tales, to help you.
Activity 2: Read and unpick Next, we would like you to read and unpick some traditional tales. Below is an attachment with three different, well-known stories (Activity 2 Tales to Read). Your job is to read the stories and pick out the key bits of information stated in the grid below. Use the attachment, Activity 2 Answer Grid, to complete the activity.
Activity 3: Your turn! We would now like you to begin thinking about your own character for your story. Usually, in a traditional tale, there is always a ‘good’ character and ‘bad’ character. Today you will be thinking about the ‘bad’ character. First, choose a character you would like to change. You can use one from a different tale if you wish.
Your job is to create a new character for the story. For example, the wolf might become a two-headed lion, or the witch might become an evil King. The choice is yours! When you have decided, you will need to create a character profile using the attachment below, Activity 3 Character Profile. Start by drawing your character and then write a paragraph describing both their looks and personality. Remember, this is the ‘bad’ character, so what words might you use? You may like to choose words such as evil, cunning, vicious, unearthly, wicked, devious, dreadful, mysterious, and ghastly. Also, think about their features you might describe, for example their face, hair, and clothes. Use as much detail as you can. You can also use the adjective list to help (Activity 3 Character Description Word Mat).
Activity 4: Your turn! Now that you have a’ bad’ character, you are going to need a ‘good’ one! Think about the story you chose yesterday. Try to stay with the same one or it could get very confusing! Your job now is to create a ‘good’ character. Below are a list of suggestions
For example, Little Red Riding Hood might become a fairy. Jack could be a talking piglet and the Three Billy Goats, could become three magical unicorns! Again, the choice is yours! You will need to create another character profile, but this time for your ‘good’ character. Therefore, think about how the adjectives you use will change. I.e. kind-hearted, considerate, gentle, delightful, pleasant, magnificent. Again, think about the key features you might describe. Use as much detail as you can and the adjective list to help you.
Activity 5: Story planning – changing the ending For your final activity, we would like you to write a plan for your story. Think about the story you chose – your job is to come up with a new ending for the tale! The beginning and middle of your story will be the same as the original but will include your new characters. The ending however will be different and it is up to you what happens in the end. Think about the new characters you have created. How might they change the story? For example, Little Red Riding Hood who has been changed to a fairy is now magic. Therefore, she casts a spell on the two headed lion (wolf) when she arrives at Grandma’s house. At the end of the story, the two-headed lion is trapped inside Grandma’s clothes and runs away to hide in the forest forever! Use the template, Activity 5 Story Plan, to help you. Remember a plan is a shortened version of the story, which includes the key points! Do not worry too much about adding detail yet. Focus on creating a clear beginning, middle and end! |

Letter of persuasion This week we are looking at persuasion in the form of a letter. When we write to persuade, we aim to convince the reader to do something. We do this by creating an argument based on reasons for or against the main point. For example, if you wanted to persuade the Queen to come to Hobletts, you would write a letter including all the reasons why she should attend. To support your argument, you may even use facts or quotes from other people. Here is a useful link to the BBC website which explains persuasion in greater detail: How to write a persuasive text: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/english-ks1-ks2-how-to-write-a-persuasive-text/zkcfbdm
Activity 1: Layout of a persuasive letter Persuasive letters need to be structured correctly! The key features we need to include are:
For your first activity, we would like you to structure a letter that has been jumbled up! You must read each section carefully and decide where it fits best, in order for the letter to make sense. (You can cut and stick them down or write them out). Use Activity 1_jumbled letter, to complete the activity. When completed, check your letter against the layout guide below (Activity 1_ layout guide).
Activity 2: Unpicking a persuasive letter For your next activity, you will read an example of a persuasive letter and answer some questions. This will help you to unpick some of the key features before you write your own. Use the attachment below, Activity 2 _ Example letter, to complete the activity. You may need to read the letter a number of times before answering the questions attached. Here is a useful link to the BBC website which explains rhetorical questions: What is a rhetorical question? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zs4qn39/articles/z6cj7nb
Activity 3: Planning a persuasive letter Next, we would like you to plan your own persuasive letter using the layout attached (Activity 3 _ letter planning). Before you start, you need to consider two things: Who is your letter to and what are persuading them to do? You can use the suggestions below to help you or come up with one of your own.
You can also use the attachment Activity 3_language support, for sentence starters and key words.
Activity 4: Letter of persuasion Now we would like you to draft your letter of persuasion. Remember to use your plan to help you as well as the language support mat.
Activity 4: Edit Now re read your first draft and reflect on the extent to which you have followed the Steps to Success. Have you used: Full sentences (capital letters and full stops)? Paragraphs? Connectives to explain your point. E.g. Therefore, because? Persuasive language. E.g., I think you will agree/obviously? Challenge: Can you use a rhetorical question? A question to the reader to make them think. Remember to use the correct punctuation! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zs4qn39/articles/z6cj7nb
Finally write up your final draft and send them to us!

PSHE |
We know that doing physical activity can help raise our self-esteem and positively change our mood; exercise releases chemicals in our brain that helps with mood, stress relief, and is a way to keep us focussed when it feels like our mind is racing around. Physical activity can also give us a sense of achievement. For example, if you start using a skipping rope, with time and practice you might be able to do special tricks. Similar with football or dancing.

This week we would like you to focus on fractions. This week’s activities will help you become more confident with both comparing and ordering fractions and finding a fraction of an amount. There is a video of Miss Smith modelling these tasks and methods to you on the Hobletts Manor Junior School website under the heading families and on video resources. There are also attached documents/worksheets for each activity that you can use in the additional documents section.
Remember we have books in school if you need them to record your calculations and answers. If you do not have a printer and would like a worksheet, please email the year three-email address and we can print them out for you and leave in the office at the front of the school. We can provide stationary too.
Activity 1: Ordering and comparing fractions with the same denominator. Below is a worksheet with a number of different questions. For each question, can you order the fractions from smallest to largest and write the answer into the box next to each question. Remember when order fractions with the same denominator, the bigger the numerator, the larger the fraction.
Activity 2: Comparing fractions with the same denominator. On the worksheet and for each question, colour in the fraction shape, then use the < > or = symbol to compare the different pairs of fractions.

Inverted Commas This week, we are looking at the use of inverted commas. Inverted commas are used to show speech in different ways i.e. to indicate direct speech from a character or a quote. It is therefore vital we get it right! Here are the steps we need to follow when using inverted commas: Open the speech with inverted commas. Include all of the spoken words inside. Use punctuation, such as a full stop, comma, exclamation mark or question mark inside the speech. Close the whole speech using inverted commas. "What's for tea?" Lilly asked. "I was thinking peperoni pizza," replied Mum. The following clip from BBC Bitesize can also be used to explain inverted commas: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/ztcp97h Have a go at watching the video and completing the quiz to test your knowledge!
Activity 1: Add the inverted commas For your first activity, you need to read two short extracts from the book ‘The Twits’ and add in the missing inverted commas. Remember! Inverted commas are used at the start and at the end of speech. The inverted comma at the end is also used after the punctuation. Use the attachment below (Activity 1_The Twits missing punctuation) to complete the activity.
Activity 2: Writing direct speech using inverted commas To expand on inverted commas further, we would now like you to use them in your own writing. Below is the opening to another trick played by Mrs Twit. You will need to read the opening and use the prompts to help write the speech for the characters Use the attachment below (Activity 2_writing direct speech_ The Twits). Challenge: Can you come up with a trick of your own for Mr Twit to play on his wife? Write what happens and remember to include speech from both characters.
Activity 3: Direct speech. Direct speech is a sentence in which the exact words spoken are represented within inverted commas. For example: "You'll never guess what I've just seen!" shouted Sam. We use direct speech in lots of different styles of writing. Below is an attachment containing different activities based on punctuating direct speech. Some are super quick; others will take you a little longer!
Activity 4: Writing quotes Quotations tell us what has been said and who said it. They can help to tell the story by giving the reader the opinions of the people involved. For example, when writing a newspaper report, the reporter will often include a quote from someone present during the incident. When writing quotes, we still use inverted commas in the exact same way! Below is a newspaper report that is missing quotes from the people involved. Your job is to read the article and add in the quotes. Remember, you must use inverted commas! (Activity 4 _ Quotes).
Activity 5: Using quotes in writing As your final job, we would like you to write your own short newspaper story about the dragons return to Hobletts! Within your writing, you must include at least 4 quotes from the people involved in the incident. It is up to you who is involved and what happens when the dragon returns – maybe he eats a member of staff. Alternatively, maybe, he is trapped in sunshine. The main thing you must remember to use is inverted commas and punctuation in your quotations. You can use the blank newspaper template from Activity 4 to create your report. |

Activity 1: Becoming a cartographer (map maker) When out on a walk with your family take a copy of the I Spy on a Journey work sheet and tick off each kind of building or landmark as you see it. List as many different roads you walk along so you know what to draw. When you get home, can you try sketching out a map of your local area? Try to use the symbols we have previously learnt about. When creating your sketch map it might be helpful to use resources like Google maps to help you with road shapes.

Explanation texts. Activity 1: Research This week we are looking at explanation texts. An explanation text is a piece of writing which explains how or why something happens. Explanations detail different stages of a process, using logical steps or a sequence, for example, how a seed grows, how a camera works or why we close our eyes when we sneeze! They use information, diagrams, and photographs to teach you about a process.
Activity 2: Write an explanation text. Once you have decided on your topic and gathered the necessary information. You are ready to write your explanation text! Below are some examples to help you. Remember to include:
How do volcanoes erupt?
This guide will explain the process a volcano goes through when it erupts.
Volcanoes are large mountains or hills with a vent at the top, which creates an opening to the earths’ surface. They are made of rock and hot gas and contain lava.
First, the molten rock called magma begins to rise to the surface. This causes pressure to build up inside the volcano. Then, the magma begins to release gas as it heats up. When this happens, the air becomes trapped… *You can also include a diagram or pictures to support your explanation. Use the attachment below (Activity 2_Explanation text examples) for guidance. You must use:
Activity 3: Checklist This activity is all about improving your work. Re read your explanation text to check for capital letters and full stops. Then, use the checklist provided to help you make improvements. Go through each point carefully.
Activity 4: Changing the word and ‘And’ is banned! When creating a piece of writing it is important we make it interesting for the reader. Therefore, using and in every sentence can get very boring! We would like you to have a go at changing the word ‘and’. Think of some different conjunctions you can use which will improve your writing. Below you will find the worksheet to support this activity (Activity 4 conjunctions).
Activity 5: Reading explanation texts Explore explanation texts further by reading some examples and unpicking the information presented. We would like you to read the explanation text examples (used for Activity 2). For each one, answer the questions in the grid below. Complete the grid attached (Activity 5 Unpicking explanation texts). You can use the worksheet provided or simply write your answers on some paper! This activity supports your comprehension and understanding of explanation texts. |

Instructions and directions. Activity 1: Treasure map directions This week we are looking at instruction and direction and we would like you to write a set of directions. When writing instructions or directions we need to remember to be clear and concise in our language, if not things can go very wrong!
Think about the use of instructions. Are they clear and easy to understand?
This week you must write directions to guide a pirate ship to a treasure island. Use the sheet within the additional documents section (Activity 1 Direction writing) to complete the task.
Remember to:

Create your map and write a set of instructions to reach the treasure. Then, test it out on someone in your house! Can they follow the instructions correctly to reach the treasure?
Activity 3: Adverb spotter Adverbs are words which describe verbs (action works). When we write instructions we use imperative verbs or commands which tell the person following them what to do. Often we also include adverbs to explain how to complete the action i.e. stir slowly, lift gently. Therefore, this week, we would like you to have a go at spotting adverbs and using your own in a sentence. Complete the task within the additional documents section (Activity 3 Adverbs) |

This week we would like you to focus on column subtraction to subtract three-digit numbers. There is a video of Miss Smith modelling this method to you on the Hobletts Manor Junior School website under the heading Families and within the Video Resource Centre. There is also an attached document within the Additional Documents heading for you to open to see step by step how to use column subtraction.
Activity 1: Subtracting three-digit numbers with no regrouping: Use the column method to answer the questions below. Remember when you use the column method you need to set out the numbers vertically lining up digits according to their value. Remember start calculating with the ones digit and make sure that the largest number is on the top. If you need a reminder use this BBC bitesize clip to help https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zy2mn39/articles/zc78srd
Activity 2: Subtracting three-digit numbers with regrouping of the ones: Using the column method can you answer the questions below? Remember to follow the steps to success to answer the questions.
Activity 3: Subtracting three-digit numbers with regrouping of both the ones and tens. Using the column method can you answer the questions below? Remember to follow the steps to success to answer the questions.
Activity 4: Following on from the activity of last week with column addition, we would like you to undertake a similar activity with your 0-9 digit ‘cards.’ Like last week, mix all the cards together and lay them face down so you cannot see the digits. Pick three cards and put them together so that you have a three-digit number. Then pick another three cards and build another three-digit number. Use the column method to subtract. Remember the biggest number you make will have to go on the top.
Challenge Question: Can you answer the word problems below using column subtraction?
We will upload the answers onto the Year 3 blog on Friday so that you can check your answers.
If you would prefer to print out some worksheets for column subtraction to complete, we have added some worksheets for you to have ago at within the additional documents heading below. If you do not have a printer and would like a worksheet, we have printed some out and they are in the foyer at the front of the school. If you have any questions, please contact us via the Year 3 email address – year3@hoblettsjm.herts.sch.uk

This week we would like you to practise your Grammar. When creating a piece of writing the most important thing is that it makes sense to the reader. Therefore, using correct grammar is essential.
Grammar activities 1. Past or Present? Below is a selection of verbs (action words). Your task is to decide which is in the present tense and which is in the past tense. You could write these onto small pieces of paper to sort into piles or create a table and write them down.
Jumped leaping ate cried wishing rode worried slept skip threw throwing wished flew baked sang help cook washed singing drank floated freeze teach write spent
Challenge: Can you think of some past and present tense verbs of your own and put them into a sentence? The BBC website also offers support with past and present tense. There is a video to watch and even a quiz to test your knowledge! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/z3dbg82
2.Homophones: Below are a selection of sentences which contain homophones (words which are pronounced the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings). Your job is to write the sentence and decide which word is correct.
The teacher read the book ___________ to the class. I am not ____________ to walk the streets on my own at night.
The wind was strong, it __________ down a tree. The sky was pale __________ and clear.
Last night I ate a _________ cake to myself. The _________ in the ground was so deep that I couldn’t see the bottom.
We went outside for a ____________ and some fresh air. I didn’t have time to ____________ and crashed into the tree.
Challenge: Can you find some homophones of your own and put them into a sentence. You can also get lots of support on homophones from the BBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zqhpk2p/articles/zc84cwx
3.Adjective and adverb spotter: Below is a selection of sentences. Write these down in your neatest handwriting and underline the adjective (the describing word). When you have done this reread the sentences to look for the adverbs (words which describe the verb). Read carefully as there could be more than one!
Challenge: Can you draw a picture of a character or a setting and write your own descriptive sentence using powerful adjectives? You may like to draw a picture of a paragraph above. There is an adjective and adverb support section on the BBC website. Here you can watch videos and test your knowledge with a quiz! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/zy2r6yc

Continuing with our Light and Shadow topic, we would like you to be able to explain the benefits and dangers of the sun, understand UV light and ways we can protect our eyes from the sun.
Activity 1: Have you even been told not to look at the sun? Is the sun good or bad? The statements below are all things that the sun does. For each statement can you identify if they would make the sun a hero or a villain? You could create your own table to show your thoughts or there is a template within the additional documents section that you may prefer to use.
Activity 2: UV light The sun emits (gives out) rays of light. We can’t see all the types of light that come from the sun. The visible spectrum is the name for the light that we can see, and is made up of the rainbow. Another type of light that the sun emits is called UV light. It is invisible to humans, but we can see and feel its effects. Some UV rays are blocked by the ozone layer, but most of the UV light from the sun reaches us on earth.
To learn about its effects we would like you to set up an investigation to see the effects of UV light.
What happens to the card when you take the shapes off after the week? Why do you think that might have happened? (The information above should help.)
Activity 3 The eyes are able to let light in; it is how we see. Using a mirror can you identify your pupil? It looks like a black circle. Close your eyes for 30 seconds, then open them and look at your pupil. What do you notice? Does it get bigger or smaller? Why do you think that might happen? Watch this video on bbc bitesize on how your eye sees. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbssgk7/articles/zp7f8mn Because light goes straight into our eyes it can also damage it. To protect your eyes you should wear sunglasses and a hat. If wearing sunglasses it is important to ensure that they have a UV rating, if they don’t they are just toy sunglasses and can actually let in more UV rays because your pupils will open wider as it is darker. Your task is to design a pair of sunglasses or a hat that will protect someone’s eyes from the harmful effects of the sun. You should also advertise your sun protection item! Tell your customers why they need to buy your sunglasses or hat. Explain the effects of the sun and how your sunglasses or hat can protect against them. |
To know that light from the sun can be dangerous and that there are ways we can protect our eyes.

For RE this week we would like to continue to focus our learning on Islam. There is further information for you within the additional documents section below. Activity 1 Watch the video https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z4fgkqt and make notes of the key points about the Qur’an. The video’s title spells it as Karan as this is how it is translated into English but it is important we learn about the traditional spelling as well.
Activity 2 Can you use the information in the slides above, from the video and from the PDF sheets to help to create a presentation about the Qur’an. The PDF sheets are a range of difficulties, you will only need to use one and can choose the difficulty level
You could even film yourselves and send this through to us at year3@hoblettsjm.herts.sch.uk |

Newspaper report For English this week, we have another video for you to watch from the Literacy Shed. We would like you to use the video to prompt your ideas for a Newspaper report. The short film you will be watching is called ‘The Lighthouse’ and can be found via Literacy Shed online. All you need to do is go to the Literacy Shed website: 1. https://www.literacyshed.com/home.html# Copy and paste the link. 2. Scroll down to the bottom and lick on ‘The lighthouse’. Click to watch the short film. You can watch it as many times as you like. It may be a good idea to jot down the main events in the clip or discuss them with someone afterwards. You are then going to imagine you are a reporter. You have been given the task of writing a newspaper report on the events in the clip. When writing a Newspaper report remember to:
What happened? Where and when did it take place? Who was involved?
You can also include a picture of the event. Challenge: Can you include a quote from someone involved? Remember to use inverted commas (speech marks). You can also use BBC bitesize to support your writing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z2yycdm/articles/z2gk9qt

This week we would like you to focus on 3D Shapes
Activity 1: 3D Shape Hunt Go around your home and find some empty packages and boxes. What 3D Shape are they? Can you find a cube? A cylinder or a cuboid shape? Could you organise them into groups so all the cubes are together, all the cylinders are together and all the cuboids are together?
Activity 2: Make a collection of small 3D shaped objects, such as a small ball (sphere), a toy building brick (cuboid), a dice (cube) and a glue stick (cylinder). Put the objects into a bag and then put your hand in the bag to choose one of the objects. Describe the shape to an adult and see if they can guess the 3D shape that you are holding. Swap over and repeat.
Activity 3: Model Making. Build a model from 3D shapes before talking to an adult about the different shapes you used. Take a photo or draw a picture of your finished model and send it to us
Activity 4: Could you make a poster on 3D shapes? You could draw a number of different 3D shapes or you could even draw the objects that you have found around your home. If you want to, you can talk about the properties that the different 3D shapes have including how many faces, vertices and edges. (We have included some information on 3D shapes and properties on the bottom of the Year 3 webpage for you to open and have a look at).

Activity 1 – Narrative writing This week we would like you to get in touch with your imagination to write a short story. Below are three short openings. Your job is to pick the one you like best and write the ending. You could even write your own story using just the title if you wish. You can also tell your story via pictures using a story board or comic strip. Remember to use:
1. The Secret Garden You are out playing in the garden when you notice a rose bush behind the shed. It is a strange bush with bright leaves and blood red rose petals you have never seen before. You wander over, kneel down and begin to push though the bush. You are crawling for what seems like forever, the air around you falls silent. You finally see daylight. You stumble and look up. You see a world like no other…
2. The Magical Movie Theatre You are walking past an abandoned building; no one else is around. You can hear nothing but leaves rustling. You find a golden ticket on the floor. You stop and slowly bend down to pick it up. A gust of wind and the doors of the building swing open. You jump back and feel your heart pounding like a race car in your chest. You move slowly over to the building and peer inside. You notice the building is an old movie theatre…
3. The Shrinking Machine You are out with Grandad on a dull Saturday morning. Grandad loves old-fashioned antiques and together you head to Mr Brookes Antique Shop. Grandad reminds you not to touch any of the precious goods as the bell chimes above your head and you step inside. You head towards the back of the shop and there, sitting on a shelf you see a Jack in the Box. You reach out and begin to wind the handle slowly. As the soft music plays you lean in closer to the box and notice something strange. A tingle in your toes. Then in your legs. You let go of the handle about to run, but you cannot move. The bell from the shop door chimes again and you feel your body slump to the ground. When you open your eyes, you look around to see everything in the shop is bigger. Or even worse, you are smaller.

To continue our Light and Shadow topic. We would like you to investigate what happens to shadows when the properties of light are changed.
Activity 1: Can you make a prediction using what you learnt in week 1? What do you think would happen when the properties (brightness, position, distance) of a light source are changed? You could use the following questions to help you make your predictions… What will happen to a shadow when a light source is made dimmer/brighter? What will happen if a light source is moved further away/closer? What will happen if the position of the light source is moved up/down?
Activity 2: Can you choose something from home such as your favourite toy and create an investigation that will prove or disprove your predictions? Try to include a method (How you are going to do it.), results and a conclusion (Explaining what your results have shown you.) You could then write up your investigation to explain your findings with diagrams or photos to show what you have found out.
Some key vocabulary that could help you with your work this week: Beam Shadow Brightness Position Distance Opaque (If you aren’t sure of the meaning of any of these words you could find out what they mean at www.dictionary.com ) |

On Friday 8th May 2020 Britain will be commemorating the 75th anniversary of VE Day when the guns fell silent at the end of the war in Europe.
Due to the coronavirus restrictions most VE Day 75 events and street parties have had to be cancelled or postponed but we still want you to be able to mark the occasion, share your pride in our country and honour the men and women of WW2.
Therefore, we thought it would be lovely to join in with the BBC’s Great British Bunting campaign. We would like you to design and create bunting that can be placed in your windows from Friday 8th May to Sunday 10th May.

This week we would like you to focus on time.
Activity 1: Make a timetable of your day. You could draw pictures for each activity or take photographs. Write in your meal times and any other activities you do. Underneath each activity, write down the time you started and finished the activity. You could even write down how long each activity took.
You could even make a timetable which you would like to do for the following day. For example, you can write 8 o’clock (08:00) – get up. Half past eight (08:30) – have breakfast. Quarter to nine (08:45) – brush my teeth, nine o’clock (09:00) – start my home learning. Half past ten (10:30) have a break and a snack and so on. You will need to watch the time throughout the day so you don’t miss any of your fun activities you have planned.
Activity 2: Make your own clock using a paper plate or by cutting a circle out of cardboard. Use a real clock to help you to write the numbers correctly and make your own clock hands. You could use two different colours of paper or even two different colours of playdough to make your clock hands. Remember that you need to make a shorter hour hand and a longer minute hand. Talk about the events of the day with an adult. While saying what you do at different times of the day you can move both the minute and the hour hand on the clock to show the time. Remember you can be creative as you like and have lots of fun with your design.
Activity 3: Look around your house and see how many different ways of measuring time, you can find. Can you find a clock? …a watch? …a timer? …a sand timer? …a stopwatch? What are these things used for? What numbers can you see? Take some photos or draw a picture of some different ways to measure time.
Activity 4: Can you make a poster about time? You could be as creative as you wish and use lots of different colours to make it bright and colourful. Remember once you complete these activities, send them over to the year three team. We would love to see what you have been up to. Well done Year 3! |
To learn how to tell the time using an analogue clock.
Remember if the big hand (minute hand) is on the right hand side of the clock, it is minutes past the hour and on the left hand side of the clock is minutes to the hour.

This week we would also like you to do some non-fiction writing using a video to help inform your work. The short film you will watch is called ‘The Lego Story’ and can be found via the Literacy Shed online. All you need to do is go to the literacy Shed website: (you do not need a log in) 1. https://www.literacyshed.com/home.html# Copy and paste the link. 2. Click on ‘The History Shed’ (you may need to scroll down a little). 3. Click on the ‘The Lego Story’. (On the third-row, first box). Before watching the film, have a think what the clip may be about. You may also consider things you already know about Lego. You can again, jot your ideas down in a mind map. Then click to watch the short film. You can watch it as many times as you like. When you have watched the clip – have a think or tell someone at home what you learnt. Where did Lego come from, how was it discovered? Did you find out anything interesting or something new? We would then like you choose two of the following activities: · Create an information leaflet about Lego. Including all the facts you discovered in the film. · Conduct your own research on Lego or another toy of your choice. Where did it first come from/how old is it/how has it changed over the years? · Design your own Lego structure using a pencil and paper. What would you build/how big would it be? · Create your own structure – you can do this using Lego or paper. Then write a set of instructions for building your masterpiece! · Design your own toy – this can be anything you like! Draw a picture and write some sentences to explain, what it is/what it does/how it works. Then, imagine you are a toy maker or designer. Create an advert to sell your toy around the world! Why is your toy the best? What is special about it? How much is it to buy? Who is it for? If you choose not to watch the videos, no problem! You can still have a go at some of the activities above! Get creative and have fun! Remember you do not need to write loads and loads! It’s much better to create some good quality simple sentences!

PSHE |
Activity 1 Our focus this term in PSHE is Relationships. For this topic, we would like you to think about the people in your life you are grateful fo. This could be a friend, a relative, someone in school or a neighbour. It is completely up to you. Think about someone who makes a positive difference in your life and who you would like to show appreciation for. Then, choose from the following activities: Create a poster about this person. You could draw a picture of them and write words which describe them or make them special: are they kind, caring, funny? Do they make you laugh or smile? Write a card to your special person. Explain why you have chosen them and what they do you are grateful for. i.e. taking you to the park, reading you stories, helping you learn. Activity 2 Within this topic we would also like you to consider friendship. Think about: What makes a good friend and what qualities a good friend has Create a friend. You can do this by drawing on a piece of paper or if you wanted, you could lie down and draw around your body (either outside using chalk or on a big piece of paper). When you have done this colour them in or add on detail. Now, write all the qualities of a good friend around the outside. Think about the things you look for in a friend. Are they helpful? Do they listen well? Do they play nicely?
