Year 3 Home Learning 24.09.21

English

1. Next week we are starting to plan our own fables. Please can the children choose two animals that are totally different like ‘the tortoise and the Hare’ or my example of ‘cheetah and the elephant’ and create a fact file on Purple Mash for them. Please do not choose the same animals as these- let’s be creative! I have set a 2Do for this, so just click on it and you will see the first page is modelled for you to copy the structure. Can this please be handed in ready for our lesson on Wednesday?

2. This week we have started to look at adverbs, focusing on how they can describe how we move. Please have a go at the ’ Adverbs quiz’ under your 2Do’s in Purple Mash. Watch this fun song that we will be looking in class first to help you … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enZr3N0bRgE&t=2s

Spellings of the week …

Don’t forget to keep practising your half termly spellings, there is only 4 weeks left!

This week our spelling focus has been that often when words start with w, wh and qu followed by an ‘a’ - the ‘a’ makes an ‘o’ sound. We have learnt the rhyme: “Spell ‘o’ with an ‘a’ after ‘w’ as in wash. Spell ‘o’ with an ‘a’ after ‘qu’ as in squash.

Our spellings this week are:

1. was

2. what

3. want

4. watch

5. wander

6. wallet

7. quality

8. quarrel

Maths

Please complete the IXL strands A6 Skip-Counting Sequences and A9 Counting Patterns

Year 3 Home Learning 17.09.21

Thank you for all of your wonderfully decorated books!

English

1. Please listen to the fable ‘The Hare on the Tortoise’ on the BBC website and discuss with an adult at home what you think the moral of the fable is. Can you write it in your homework books please.

2. Please complete IXL Year 3 English strand O1 ‘Use the correct Article’ (determiners).

READ, READ, READ

Children are doing really well with their reading, please keep reading at home and encourage them to read every night.

Spellings of the week …

This week our spelling focus has been adding the suffix - ly. We have found that with most words we don’t need to double, drop or swap any letters. However words that end with ‘y’ are different and we need to change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ before adding ‘ly’.

Please practise these spelling ready for our spelling quiz next Friday:

1. quick - quickly

2. glad - gladly

3. quiet - quietly

4. brave - bravely

5. speedy - speedily

6. happy - happily

Maths

Please go to purple Mash where is a 2Do to complete ‘Place Value in 3 digit numbers’.

Year 3 Home Learning 10.09.21

Welcome to the Year Three Weekly Home Learning Page.

On this page you will find details of learning for your child to complete as independently as possible or with a little bit of help at home , to consolidate the learning they have done in class. Home Learning will be a combination of online and in their home learning books, depending on the nature of the learning I would like them to practise.

Home learning is set every Friday and is to be completed by the following Thursday - apart from this week!

Please decorate your Home Learning Books…

Please could you decorate your books that show your interests and likes. As these books are to be taken to and from school all year, we kindly ask that you cover them in a material that will keep them strong. Children have used sticky back plastic or wrapping paper, to do this in the past.

Class Councilor (optional)

Do you want to be our councilor this year? Have you never done it before? Is this your year?

Prepare a short speech and maybe poster to the class ready for next Tuesday. You can be as creative as you want. Why should we vote for you to be our next councilor?

READ, READ, READ

Now that we have got our reading books in place, please could the children make sure that they read every night. Although they are now in the juniors and we encourage them to read independently, they should also read alongside an adult every day where possible. This may also include, you sharing a book together, where they are listening to an adult reading to them. At this point, they are learning HOW stories should be read, how punctuation helps to show us how a story should be ready and how to develop their fluency and expression. Modelling reading stories is a crucial part to their learning journey.

With their reading books children will also have received their own bookmark with all of their passwords for IXL, Purple Mash and other tools we use for their home learning. Like with their book, please make sure it comes to and from school everyday, as they will need their books for class reading.

Spellings

Spellings of the half term …

At the front of the children’s Home Learning books you will find a table of spellings that children across Year 3 and 4 use frequently within their writing, therefore are encouraged to practise and learn to spell. Every half term we will take a column to focus on in class, where we have them on display, we will practise them in our handwriting lessons and we will use them within our writing as much as possible. At the end of the half term, we will quiz the children on the spellings to see which ones we have mastered and which need a little more practice. It would be great if at home you could also play about and practise these spellings over the coming weeks to better reinforce. You will find some ideas below of how you can practise these at home and the first column of spellings.

Spellings of the week …

Children will have spellings sessions every week and to help reinforce the spelling rules, they will also be given 6 spellings to practise at home. This week our rule is “drop the ‘e’ before adding the ‘y’” Therefore this weeks spellings :

1. shine

2. wave

3. breeze

4. simple

5. craze

6. curve

Please practise spelling these words with the suffix ‘y’ ready for our spelling quiz next week. Don’t forget the spelling rule!

These spellings will all have the same spelling rules, so be great if you could discuss this rule and maybe even collect others words that have the same sounds or rule. Again, the ideas below will help you keep their learning fun and engaging. Be great if you could send pictures also, if you have any new and exciting ways of learning their spellings!
