MYTCHETT PRIMARY ACADEMY – HOME LEARNING – YEAR 3

WEEK BEGINNING: Monday 8th June 2020

Maths

Task 1 Last week on SeeSaw we started our learning on Money. We are going to continue that this week but we are now going to have a go at subtracting money. If you feel confident with this, have a go at the challenge below! It migh make your brain work hard- read the clues carefully!

Task 2 This week we are going to start learning about angles. Have a look at the angles learning below and then have a go at the questions.

Task 3 Have a go at your DoodleMaths extras for this week.

English

Task 1

Spelling: We have two more words families we are looking at this week. ‘press’ which is often connected to words that mean press. press compress impress suppress express ‘vent’ which is often connected to words that mean ‘come’. venture adventure prevent eventful invent You may use whichever way works best for you to practise these. You can draw another word illustration as I know some of you enjoyed these. You can do sentences if you prefer, or a spelling scribble if you would like to.

Task 2

Writing This week please write a biography for the explorer you researched. A biography is a detailed description of a person's life with facts, background information and stories from their life. To help you I have included an example biography below. It is labelled to show all the features of writing a biography:

- An introduction to the person - Information about the key

events in the person’s life in chronological order

- Sentences written in third person using third person pronouns (he, she, they)

- Verbs written in past tense - The person’s feelings about

the different events - A conclusion

Task 3

Reading Below is the biography of Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger, someone who followed her dreams! This example may well also be helpful in the writing of your own. Have a read of Dorothy’s biography and then answer the questions.

Wider Curriculum

This Friday would have been our year 3 sleepover. Just because we are at home does not mean we cannot have fun and have a go at some of the activities we would have done at the sleepover! Sock Puppets Follow the instructions below to make your own sock puppet. Decorate it to make it into any animal you like! Perhaps you could make more than one and treat your family to a puppet show! Orienteering At school we would have orienteered around the field. Perhaps you can set up your own at home orienteering course. British Orienteering have designed some great resources to help you design your own course, create your own map and markers. Have a look at lots of the ideas here: https://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/Home_Resources?fbclid=IwAR3ds4EuCdfSh1RFeuu8DZZZmhUkpi2lX6k9i1iRnMMUBbHstXeYo2imC5w

You will need to hide some markers (or toys, or even treats) around your house or your garden. You will then need to design a map of your garden or your home and mark on your map where you have hidden the markers. Then see if someone else in your family can find them by accurately reading your map! I have included the page for designing your own map below in case you would like to use it. Compass We would have learnt to use a compass and have marked out north, south, east and west. If you do have a compass at home, maybe you could try this in your home. (If you do not have a compass- there is an app that you may be able to use on a tablet). Perhaps on your orienteering map you could mark on north, south, east and west. Decorate biscuits or bake We would have decorated biscuits to have as a delicious snack! We would use writing icing and sprinkles- maybe you can give this a go at home. Or if you would prefer, you could bake your own delicious snack! Sleepover As long as it is okay with your grown-ups at home maybe you could have a special sleepover in your house. Eat the snack you made, watch a fun film you enjoy and play with your sock puppet. Perhaps you could even sleep somewhere special…in your living room, build a den to sleep in in your bedroom, or even in a tent in the garden! Remember it must be all okay with your parents! French Have a look at Mme Emsden’s activity on SeeSaw. Choir and Dance Videos Mrs Pain is missing Choir and Dance club so has been busy making some videos for you to join in with! Anybody can have a go! You can find them by clicking on the link below: http://homelearning.mytchett.kite.academy/

If you manage to get through all of these learning tasks – as well as reading, mental maths practice and spelling practice - and are looking for more, explore our school website where you will find a schedule of live lessons and lots of helpful resources for you to take your learning further. https://www.mytchett.kite.academy/virtual-learning/

Maths Task 1 – Challenge

Dan bought a packet of crisps and an ice cream.

The cost of both of them together is in one of the boxes below.

Use these clues to find out how much he paid:

1. You need more than three coins to make this amount.

them.

3. The crisps cost more than 50p.

4. You could pay without using any copper coins.

5. The ice cream costs exactly twice as much as the crisps.

Maths Task 2 Angles are a measure of a turn. An angle is created when two straight lines meet at a point.

A right angle is made when two lines meet like this: We measure angles in degrees, which we show using a little circle. For example: a right angle is always 90°. When something makes a quarter turn, it turns a right angle- 90°.

Questions 1) Complete the sentences below: An angle is made when two___________________ lines meet at a point.

If I turn 90°, I will have made a_____________________ turn.

90° is the size of a __________________ angle.

2) Circle the pictures below that show angles:

3) If I start facing the circle each time, which shape will I be facing

after the following turns?

a) A quarter turn anticlockwise

b) A three-quarter turn clockwise

c) A 90° turn clockwise

d) A whole turn anticlockwise

Challenge

Write the turns I would need to make if I started facing the square each time and wanted to face

- The rectangle - The circle - The triangle

English Task 2- Biography Example of the ‘Real Snow White’

English Task 3

Questions

Sock Puppet instructions

1) Find an old, clean sock. It can be any color you like, and it

should be long enough for you to stick your arm in. Preferably,

on a smaller arm, the sock should almost reach the elbow.

2) Make two eyes at the bottom of the sock, in the toe end. If

you have googly eyes you could use these, otherwise you

could cut out a piece of other material to glue on or draw eyes

on with felt tip.

3) Once you have done the eyes, stick your hand in, with the

top of your hand where the bottom of your foot would be, and

form your hand into the shape of a mouth. Your arm should

look like a snake.

4) Decorate the puppet to turn it into any animal you like! You could use felt tips (or fabric pens if

you have them), other material you could attach, beads and buttons, wool, you could even have a go

at sewing!
