Wednesday activities! 1st April 2020

admin on: Class 3

Good evening fabulous year 3!

Hope you are all having lots of fun at home. Remember to keep emailing me to let me know how things are going. Keep your fabulous photos coming too; I really enjoy seeing all your wonderful work and the pictures of activities you are enjoying.

Here are the activities for Wednesday;

P.E. Don't forget to begin the day with lots of exercise with Joe Wicks! He'll help you feel fitter for the day ahead! By the way, adults must join in too!!!

Maths; L.O. To read the time to the nearest minute'.

8 questions;

  1. £5.63 - £2.28
  2. 1/4 of 36
  3. 1/2 of 44
  4. 567 + 30
  5. 782 + 109
  6. How many mm in 6cm?
  7. 2L 450ml - 1L 250ml
  8. 755 divided by 5

Problem;

If Charlie began making his clock at quarter past 11 and finished at half past 12, how long did it take him to complete it? Use your clocks to help you work it out.

Activity (practical);

Can you practise making 'past the hour' times and then 'to the hour' times on your clock. If you haven't made your clock you will need to do this today! Make sure you mark every single minute on your clock; so there should be 4 markers between each number as it takes 5 minutes for the minute hand to reach the next number.

Many children find 'time' very tricky so just keep practising every day; both reading the time and making the time on the clock.

Try these;

Make 5 past 2, 10 past 2, 20 past 2, quarter past 2.........

Now try 5 to 8, 10 to 8, 20 to 8..........

Notice how you count the minutes from the 12; ie minutes past the '12', minutes to the '12' on the clock.

Practise reading and making many different times.

Now try;

3 minutes past 4, 12 minutes past 4, 28 minutes past 4.....

2 minutes to 7, 17 minutes to 7, 23 minutes to 7.....

Keep practising making lots of times like these.

Can you also read the time when an adult makes the time for you?

French

Can you write 5 French sentences about some very strange, funny-coloured animals?

Here are the names of some of the animals we know;

Un cochon

Un tigre

Un chien

Un chat

Une tortue

Une souris

Here are some of the colours we know;

bleu

rose

rouge

jaune

marron

vert

Can you draw and colour in 6 very strange 'alien' animals? They will be a different colour to those you usually see!!

It may be a green dog, for example..................so you would write 'Un chien vert' and draw a green dog.

It may be a yellow tortoise, for example............so you would write 'Une tortue jaune' and draw a yellow tortoise.

Notice the adjective follows the noun!!

Try 6 of your own. Remember to draw and colour them in.

Literacy;

Do keep writing a few lines in your diary so you can always remember what you did at home during the COVID19 pandemic. Your diary could be famous one day!

Grammar;

A. Change the underlined verb to the past tense; 

  1. The Cooper family are jumping on the trampoline.
  2. Romeo writes his 8 questions on his blackboard.
  3. Elsa sings beautifully.
  4. Amelia and her brother keep fit with Joe Wicks.
  5. Poppy runs down the steep hill.
  6. Mia is making an assault course.

B. Which word is my preposition showing 'time', eg until, at, during....

  1. We went for a long walk after tea.
  2. I will have finished my jobs in 10 minutes.
  3. We waited for two hours in the queue.

C. Which are my prepositions to show 'where'?

  1. We ran up the steep hill.
  2. They walked across the bridge.
  3. The troll hid under the bridge.

D. Can you write the correct contraction? eg didn't, wouldn't......

Remember the apostophe replaces missing letters.

eg Are not........................ aren't

  1. We are.........................=
  2. She will........................=
  3. I am..............................=
  4. They are.......................=

History;

Please can you continue with your fabulous non-fictional writing on the Vikings. You'll need to ensure you have a heading to begin with and sub-headings of your choice below. Last week you were focusing on Viking life. Continue with the sub-headings of your choice, eg food, clothes, homes, ... etc. One sub-heading I'd like you to look at is 'Crime and Punishment'; what can you find out? Remember to work with an adult if you are using the internet. Do add pictures too!

BBC bitesize (KS2 History) have a wide range of interesting clips.

Purplemash provide some interesting facts too.

Twinkl also provide lots of information too; as I mentioned, they are offering free membership for a few weeks. Setting this up is really easy to do - go to www.twinkl.co.uk/offer and enter the code UKTWINKLHELPS

See what you can find. Happy researching!!

Reading;

Today spend some quality 1 to 1 reading time with an adult and ask them to ask you lots of comprehension questions. Write a few lines about each book you read at home. It may be you want to tell me about the storyline or the characters for example. Tell me what you liked or didn't like about it.

Here is the challenge from Miss H for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do … 

Have fun trying as many activities as you can. If you aren't able to manage them all please don't worry, just do what ever you can. Most of all have lots of fun and enjoy special times with your fabulous family.

Take care and see you soon,

Mrs Matthews
