Intended Learning Outcome

Maths

We would like you to investigate 2D shapes and fractions.

• Activity 1: How many different shapes can you find around your house? Go around your house and identify as many shapes as you can. You could even pick a shape. For example, a square and then go around the house and see how many squares you can find. You can write down your findings in a table with the shapes at the top of each column. Or you could even take a picture of different shapes.
•  
• Activity 2: Create a poster showing the properties of 2D shapes (see attached pdf documents for ideas – Remember vertices are corners of the shape)
•  
• Activity 3: Can you draw and cut out some different 2D shapes (square, rectangle, circle, hexagon) and fold them in half? How many different ways can you fold the shapes so that each part is identical?
•  

Activity 4: Can you write down fractions of amounts? Can you collect all your folks and spoons and tell me how many you have as a fraction? Remember the top number (numerator) would be how many folks you have got and the bottom number of the fraction (denominator) would be how much cutlery you have altogether. For example, if you have 24 pieces of cutlery and 3 folks – the fraction would be 3/24. You can even write fractions of amounts using pictures and drawing. For example, you could draw 18 fish and colour in 9 of them. You would then write the amount you have coloured in as the top number (numerator) and how many fish would be the bottom number of the fraction (the denominator). You could use lots of different things in your house.

Activity 5: Can you create a fraction poster or PowerPoint presentation to show what you have learnt?

Top marks maths:  Games https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/ordering-and-sequencing-numbers - This week we would like you to focus on multiplication.

Below are some Maths games which you can make and play at home with your family:

Indoor maths game 3: Multiplication Bingo 

What you need to play:

• Paper to write numbers down on

How to play:

Step 1:  In this mathematical version of the game, all players write down 5 numbers, which are multiples of a given times table. For example: if they were doing the 5 times table, they might write 10, 35, 45, 50 and 60.

Step 2: A third person can lead the game and call out multiplication questions from the chosen times table, or they can be written on cards, jumbled up in a pile for players to take turns picking and reading out.

Step 3: If the player has an answer to the question on their bingo board, they can cross it out. First person to cross out all their numbers is the winner. 

Game 2:  The Yes/No Game

What you need to play:

• A series of cards/pieces of paper

How to play:

Step 1: Both players put a card on their head. It could have a number on it, a shape etc…. 

Step 2: The first player asks a question which can only be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no’. E.g. ‘Am I odd?’ ‘Am I under 20?’ ‘Do I have 4 sides?’ etc…..

Step 3: They keep asking questions until the get the answer correct, or they run out of turns (you can set the number of turns they get at the beginning of the game). Then it is time for the other player to have a go.

Pen and paper maths game 2: Multiplication 4 In A Row

What you need to play:

• Sheets of paper
• Counters or coins

How to play:

Step 1: Each player needs a set of coloured counters or different coins (2ps vs 10ps as an example). 

Step 2: Make a grid containing the answers to the times tables being worked on and a set of cards with the multiplication questions.

Step 3: Each player takes it in turns to pick a card, work out the answer and cover the answer with their counter. The first player to cover four in a row is the winner.

If you don’t have any of these materials at home to make this game, you can pop into the school and we will have them ready for you to collect?

This website covers all topics in the KS2 Mathematics Curriculum. It has useful video clips and practise questions if you need some reminders on key facts and information.

Fun and interactive games to practise strategies you have learnt in class, suitable for Year 3 are listed.

English

Activity 1: This week we would like you to write a Haiku poem. Remember a Haiku poem has three lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables and the final line has 5 syllables.

Remember to pick an exciting theme of your choice. You could use one of the following…

1. The garden.
2. What you can see from your window.
3. Your family.
4. Your favourite hobby.

Activity 2: We would like you to start a diary entry of what you are getting up to each day while you’re at home. Think about creating your book and designing your front cover (we have left a box of card and paper at the front of the school if you would like some to use) Remember the structure of a diary. We always start with Dear diary and finish with our name.

Activity 3: Create your own super hero. Think about what he is wearing, his super powers (what makes him a super hero? Is he invisible? Can he fly?) Does he have a catchphrase? ….. To infinity and beyond. Once you have created your character, we would like you to create a storyboard or comic strip of your superhero in action. Remember their must be a problem he solves.

Activity 4: Can you write a postcard or a letter to us to tell us what you’ve been up to! Take a picture and send it to the year 3 email and I can upload it to the blog! You may also want to include a picture. Remember to include questions so we can respond!

You may also wish to have a look at - English with David Walliams https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/. It is on at 11am every day.

1. To learn how to write a Haiku poem.

2. To learn how to write a diary entry.

3. To learn how to write a comic strip.

Remember to include all steps to success which we have done in class. Examples are included within each activity.

Art

Activity 1: Draw a self-portrait of your face. Think carefully about which media you will use, for example: pencils, pen, crayon, paint or chalk. You could use the step-by-step instructions on the Drawing A Face to help you which I have attached below (you can open the link below)

Activity 2: Draw a jungle animal or your favourite animal. Think carefully about the steps which you need to take in order to draw the animal and which media you will use, for example: pencils, pen, crayon, paint or chalk. You could use the step-by-step instructions on the drawing a jungle animal to help you which I have attached below at the bottom of the Year 3 page. (You just need to open the link to see)

Activity 3: Play a self portrait game with someone in your home. You will need two people and a piece of paper and pencil each. Sit next to one another and look directly at their face. Your eyes cannot come off of their face and you cannot look down at your paper at any time. You have 60 seconds to draw their face without looking at what you are drawing at all. After 60 seconds you can both look. The results will be very interesting!

Practise drawing a self-portrait of your face using accurate proportions

PSHE

This term we have been looking at Healthy me within our PSHE Lesson.

If you are taking part in the Joe wicks morning pe session or completing a daily walk or active activity, once you have completed this workout, we would like you to think about the following questions, maybe you could discuss them with someone you live with:

1. What was happening to your body while you were moving?
2. Why do you think it is important to be active?
3. What happens to your heart when you are exercising? Do you breathe fast or slower?
4. How can you make your heart and lungs get stronger?

Activity 1: We would like you to come up with a fitness challenge that you are going to complete each day for a week. For example, pick an activity that you can do in 60 seconds. For example, star jumps, bunny hops, hoping on one leg. Count how many can do and write down your score. The next day complete the same challenge and see if you can beat your score.

Activity 2: Produce a poster on healthy living. It could be healthy foods; it could be how to keep active or what happens to your body when you exercise. Remember to send your work to the Year 3 email address so we can add it to our blog.
