Home Learning Friday 5.6.20

Posted: Jun 4, 2020 by: Elaine Matthews (EMatthews) on: Class 3

Hello everyone?

Hope you all had a great day yesterday and are looking forwards to a lovely weekend (despite the lack of sunshine!!)

Let's begin with our photo gallery!

Here's Mia's Geography! She has located the capital cities of the UK and some of the counties too! Well done Mia!

Here's Charlie's description of his happy, safe place. I love the way you planned your writing first Charlie. Can't wait for your drawing too!

Here's are Laurie's 2D shapes and his happy safe place too!

Here's Grace's happy, safe place and her super description too. Well done Grace!

All these wonderful imaginary places!

Here is Friday!!

P.E. You may want to join Joe Wicks at 09.00am or perhaps you'd like to try some gentle yoga (I think I will). Here's a link to a beginners yoga session;

Maths:

There's no '8 questions' or a problem today, just 'Mathletics'!

Today, I've set 2 tasks on Mathletics for you in the 'Properties of Shapes' section; one is recapping your learning on 'lines' and the other is looking at the characteristics of 3D shapes. I know you've worked really hard all week and needed a less tricky task!

Literacy:

Today I thought we could link your learning in literacy with computing....

I've set a 2Do for you on Purple Mash; it's a game review. If you need to, select the 'home' page, then 'English', '2Publish Plus' and finally the 'Blank Computer Game Review'.

I am sure many of you have played and enjoyed a number of computer games at times during lockdown. I'd like you to think carefully about which has been your favourite game and complete a review of that game for me. Save it in your file when you have completed it and perhaps print it out or take a photo of it so I can post it for you if you like.

If you haven't played a computer game and prefer board games (I love board games) you could write your review on your favourite board game instead.

I can't wait to read your reviews!

Science;

I have a problem I'd like you to solve for me!

I keep waking up at 4.30am at the moment because of the sunlight beginning to shine through the bedroom window. It's very annoying!!

I'd like you to conduct a mini experiment for me to find a material that won't let the sunlight stream through the fabric and wake me up. Materials are either 'opaque' (don't allow sunlight to pass through), 'transluscent' (allow some light to pass through) or 'transparent' (allow lots of light to pass through it- like glass for example).

NB An opaque material will create a shadow when light is shone at it because it blocks the beam of light.

See if you can find a selection of materials that you can test. Ask mum or dad to help you choose quite a few.

You'll need a torch, some white paper or a light coloured wall and someone to help you.

Make a prediction before you begin.

Here's a similar experiment...

One by one, shine the torch onto the fabric/material to find out which will let the least amount of light through.

Can you create a table to display your results?

Can you tell me which let the least light through? Did any material create a shadow?

So, what can you conclude?

Keep reading lots, have fun and enjoy your day!

Have a lovely weekend too.

See you soon,

Mrs Matthews
