THE BISHOPSWOOD SCHOOLS FEDERATION

Year 3 Home Learning Plan – Week beginning 4th May 2020

Please be aware the list is suggested activities for the week ahead. Do not forget to continue reading at home regularly, both reading to an adult and enjoying books together. On the school’s website is an additional list with a range of websites you can access for further ideas and reading texts.

English Maths Other

Subject: Reading Focus: Identify main events and retell the story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVXgh9Dce-U Today we would like you to enjoy the story ‘Tiger Child’ and summarise the main events in the story. Plot all of the main events onto the story map - see sheet below labelled – reading sheet 1. Don’t forget you can draw each plot point and write key words to explain. After you have got your main plot points, you need to show if it is a positive or a negative point. I have attached an example of a different story so you understand the layout. You can listen to the story and plot the points on your own, just like you do well in class or do it with someone at home.

Subject: Maths Focus: Understanding the value of each digit Complete the sheet attached that focuses on writing 3 digit numbers, recognising that each digit has a value. What is each number worth? Which place value column is it in? For example: 132 – the digit 3 in this number is worth 30. 100 + 30 + 2

Subject: Physical Education Focus: to raise the pulse, making the heart fitter Please see the Monopoly Fitness game below. Have fun completing this with your family. If there are busy or working, instead of making it a game, you could take 10 of the exercises and complete them on your own. Good luck and enjoy. Remember to drink plenty of water too. This came could be completed inside or in the garden if you have one or enough outdoor space.

Subject: Writing Focus: Using adjectives to describe Yesterday we read the story of the Tiger Child. When his uncle sends him to fetch some fire, the tiger child goes on an adventure; he played with the monkeys, splashed in pool and climbed up trees. Your task is to write and describe what else the Tiger Child would have seen or done on his way to the village – see the sheet below for instuctions – Writing sheet 1. We are looking forward to seeing you challenge yourself to use some BOOMTASTICs too!

Subject: Maths Focus: Telling the Time We have been focusing on half past and quarter past/to. These questions will look at explaining or proving your answers so you may need an adult to help you. Be resilient, we know you can do it! Start off by telling and showing the time on the interactive clock: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/time/teaching-clock

Subject: Art and Design Focus: outlining to draw animals – a puppy for beginners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W30dPlv4iVM Watch the video above and enjoy learning how to draw your very own puppy from beginning to end. Take it slow, pausing the video when necessary, For this activity you need:

The video link A pencil Paper

Have fun and enjoy!

Subject: Writing Focus: Using the 5 senses to describe Choose one of the plot points from the first reading task and write that part of the story in your own words. Try to be as descriptive as possible, stayng deep in the moment. You can do this by imagining what the Tiger Child would see, hear, smell, hear, taste and feel (FANTASTICs) during that point of the story. I have attached some word banks and an example to help you with ideas. Think of ways you can improve your sentences, by uplevelling your words using a thesaurus, using a mixture of longer and shorter sentences for effect and sentence starters.

Subject: Maths Focus: Division as grouping and sharing Use the sheet attached that shows how to use sharing and grouping for division. We have used chilies to show level of challenge. One chili being the easier option. Write out both methods in your book and have a go at a reasoning question too. Fancy a challenge: Try creating your own division worded problems!

Subject: Geography Focus: recognise that the earth can be divided in different ways Learn about the equator, northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. See the task sheet below and sort the countries into the right category.

Subject: Reading Focus: Thinking and inferring Using the speech bubbles, write what you think each character might being saying or thinking throughout the story. If you are writing speech, don’t forget to use inverted commas. To help you think of ideas, have a gousing drama and act as each character – you could even get your family members involved!

Subject: Maths Focus: Mental addition and subtraction games A fun way to practise your mental strategies for addition and subtraction! Play these two games with up to 3 players whilst testing all of your addition and subtraction knowledge. Don’t worry, there is a number line for support if you want to use it too! Game instructions are included on the sheet. If you want a challenge, why not try making your own Race to the Moon game.

Subject: Science Focus: Building your own experiment Why not enjoy a fun and easy science experiment. See ‘Soapy Froth’ below. Complete the attached activity to go with your science experiment. We would recommend doing this outside if you can! It may make a mess! Have fun!

Reading sheet 1 – Tiger Child Plot point template (example on next page)

Plot Points

Reading sheet 1 EXAMPLE (I have used part of the story of Matilda as we have covered this in class before)

Plot Points

Breaktime find Newts

Miss Trunchbell arrives and blames Matilda for the broken car her Dad sold

Taken to the Chokey

Inside the Chokey

Miss Honey saves Matilda

1. In the blue plot point section, write

what the main events were in the story

of Tiger Child and draw a little picture to

match.

2. Think about each plot point at a time.

Starting with the first one (in this

example “Breaktime find newts”), was it

a positive or a negative point in the

story. Think about the character

emotions, smells, sounds.

3. In this example, I have decided that plot

point 1 is very positive because Matilda

is having a fun breaktime with her

friends searcing for newts. Now I need

to tick in the box I think matches. As you

can see, I have chosen 3 smiley faces.

4. Tick the rest of the positive or negative

plot points. When you have finished

yours will look similar to mine.

CHALLENGE

Can you explain 2 of your plot points and

why you chose if it is a negative or positive

point in the story. Use evidence from the

Tiger Child story to help.

Writing Sheet 1

On his way to the village to fetch fire, the Tiger Child played with the monkeys, splashed in pools and climbed up trees.

Step 1: First, list all of the things you might do if you were the Tiger Child sent on an adventure. Think about what tigers might like to do? What things you might see around the jungle and village? Step 2: Now, to make your writing even better, use adjectives to describe the things that you would see and do. You can draw pictures too if you like. Step 3: Add in 3 FANTASTIC sentences! You can see what these all are on the right side of the page. This could be something the tiger tastes, smells, feels etc. For example: The Tiger Child felt the cool river water on his orange striped fur. He could smell the smoke wafting from the village fire. The small cub saw a herd of elephants plodding slowly through the jungle.

Challenge: BOOMTASTICs Some of you might want to challenge yourself to use alliteration, similies and onomatopoeia. For example: Royally roaming across the thick grass, he tried to catch his prey - he was hungry! Feeling brave, he swang slowly from the sturdy branches like a monkey.

Things to think about:

If you were the Tiger Child, what

adventure would you go on?

What things would you see and do? We

are look for lots of imaginitive ideas!

Reading task 2

Here is an example of a plot point from

Monday’s reading task that I have written the

example of.

Plot Points

Plot point 4 The Tiger Child goes to the village but forgets what he has come to fetch

Use the writing techniques from the BOOMTASTICs for a

challenge

The FANTASTICs help with

sentence ideas

Fronted adverbials/adverbial phrases to start sentence

EXAMPLE OF A PLOT POINT

In the distance, The Tiger Child could see the wooden gates that surrounded the village.

He was exhausted! Sweat droplets trickled across his long fluffy fur as he plodded

towards the entrance. He hadn’t realised that the journey would be so tiring for his tiny

tiger paw.

As he arrived, a small women, who was wearing a magenta silk sari, smile at him asked

if he needed some help. Bravely and boldly, the Tiger Child began to explain.

“I’ve come to fetch something for my uncle but I’ve completely fogetten what it is!”

Cried the cub. His mind was blank like an empty black hole. How had he forgotten?

Writing task 2

Uncle

Tiger Child

Top tip: Think about how

the uncle would feel?

The Tiger Child has taken a

long time to fetch the fire,

what might he be thinking?

Top tip: How does the Tiger

Child feel being sent on an

adventure to the village?

What does he think when

he meets the villagers?

Maths Task 1: Understand the value of each digit

Maths Task 3: Division as sharing and grouping

In your book, show the number sentences below as sharing and grouping. For example:

1 Chilli 2 Chillies 3 Chillies Need some support? Use physical objects from around your house to show sharing and grouping an take a picture!

1. 6 ÷ 2 = 2. 10 ÷ 2 = 3. 14 ÷ 2 = 4. 20 ÷ 2 = 5. 15 ÷ 5 = 6. 5 ÷ 5 =

1. 20 ÷ 5 = 2. 12 ÷ 3 = 3. 9 ÷ 3 = 4. 21 ÷ 3 = 5. 16 ÷ 4 = 6. 24 ÷ 4 =

1. 12 ÷ 6 = 2. 18 ÷ 9 = 3. 21 ÷ 7 = 4. 8 ÷ 8 = 5. 35 ÷ 7 = 6. 30 ÷ 6 =

Reasoning True or false? Show your workings 6 ÷ 2 = 3 which means 6 ÷ 3 = 2

Investigate What is the number sentence for this images and models?

Explore and explain - What is the same about sharing and

grouping? - What is different about them? - Which do you think is a better method and

why? - Is there another way or method you can

show division?

8 ÷ 2 =

Sharing Grouping

Sharing equally between people

Becky has 8 hair clips.

She shares them between herself 2 friends.

How many hair clips will they each get?

Grouping together in bags

Becky has 8 hair clips.

She wants to put 2 hair clips into each party bag.

How many party bags will Becky need?

Task 4 Game 1: Addition Game!

Develop your quick recall of number facts whilst strategising

against your opponent!

Number of players: 2 or 3

Each player needs 15- 20 counters in their colour.

Instructions

- Choose your first number sentence.

- Work out the answer in your head or on the number line for

support.
