Year 3 Home Practice 2nd October 2020

Date: 1st Oct 2020 @ 9:01pm

We have had a very creative and exciting week in Year 3.

Thursday was National Poetry Day so we read some poems with actions and lots of expression. We chose our favourite which was ‘How to Turn Your Teacher Purple’ by James Carter. We performed this poem together and made a video – this is on the school website.

On Monday we travelled back in time and did some Stone Age art (pictures to follow when we have finished). We realised how talented people were in the Stone Age using what they could find to survive and communicate.

In Maths we have been using equipment to add hundreds, tens and units, in English we are still enjoying reading The Twits and in French we have been counting to 20 focussing on the different sounds of the letters.

Home Practice for 2^nd October – 9^th October

1. Read to somebody at home every night for 20 minutes.

2. Practise the x2 tables –

• Ask somebody to test you on the way to and on the way back from school every day. You need to know them quickly without counting on.

3. Go on Sumdog and complete the following challenge:

Number Challenge: 2^nd October – 9^th October – target 100 questions.

4. Spellings:

Make a word search with your spellings in, ask somebody at home to find the spellings.

5. Research and then create a poster about different types of rocks.

There are 4 learner guides and 7 class clips which you can look at.

The three types of rock you need to include are:

Igneous rock

Metamorphic rock

Sedimentary rock

Make your poster easy to read and colourful. See if you can find some really interesting facts to share with the class.
