Home Learning and Spellings - 8th October 2020

 Year 3 Home learning,

8th October 2020

To be completed by 15th October 2020.

Magical Mathletes

Another fantastic resource that we have available to use in school and at home is Mathletics.  We know that you are all familiar with this from year 1 and 2, but we would like to relaunch it with you this week. (Well done to those of you who have already earned certificates this term).  To log on to Mathletics go to mathletics.co.uk and type in your username and password.  You will see that we have set you some Place Value activities to get you started.  As you answer questions, you earn coins, just like TTRS.  Use your coins to buy new outfits and backgrounds for your avatar.  All while you practice your maths skills.  Let’s see how many certificates we can earn in year 3 this week!  Special prizes await those that take part in the great Mathletics Challenge!  If you have problems accessing the online content, I have included some worksheet activities to have a go at.


Quick Quiz:

Persuasive Parrot has been working in year 3 this week and has taught us all about the language of persuasion.  Fill in the speech bubble to persuade Mr Spracklen of something that is really important to you that you would like to do in school.  Try and think of something that you think would make the school even better!

Farm Fantastic - 1st October 2020

Year 3 Head Off to the Farm

What wonderful weather and harvest time fun we had at the farm today.  A massive thank you to Hazel and Maiden Castle Farm for having us to visit again.  The children enjoyed seeing all the sights and sounds and smells of the farm at harvest time and had lots of great questions about what they saw!  I wonder if they can remember the following five facts?

1. What S is a female mother pig called?
2. What is straw made from?  a) seeds        b) stalks of crops        c) dried grass
3. What B is a male pig?
4. Name 5 things that Maiden Castle Farm produce for people to eat?
5. What E is a female sheep?


Year 3 thinks that Thomas' new pig should be called Derek.  What do you think?
He really enjoyed eating our fresh fruit and veg waste from our snack as well as a good scratch on the fence.


Thanks again Hazel for your time today, we really appreciate finding out more about where our food has come from!

The Great Kapok Tree (2nd week)

Imagine the greatest tree in the rainforest, supporting the life of thousands of species.  We have studied this story in detail last week and we would now like you to get creative.  We would like you to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, model or build your own version of the Kapok Tree.

We have given you two weeks for this home learning as it might take a little bit longer to create your masterpieces!
