Maths Perimeter of Figures Lesson 2: Measuring Perimeter Today we learn that the total length around the shape is called the ‘perimeter’. Begin with making shapes on squared paper and counting the number of sides of the squares on the outside of the shape. It is very important not to count the lines inside the shape!
We continue the lesson by measuring the perimeter of a variety of shapes and discover that different shapes can have the same perimeter!

Maths Perimeter of Figures Lesson 1: Measuring around a shape. Another Monday and another new topic in maths! Our last one of the term and we are learning how to measure the total length around a shape. We start by using some wool, yarn or string (whatever is to hand) to follow the outline of shapes, have a ruler handy to measure in cm how long the outline of the shape is.
We then move on to using our squared paper to help us measure – each square is 1cm which is quite handy for our measuring!

Maths Lines and Shapes Lesson 10 – Making 3D Shapes from Nets.
Today we are going to be making a variety of 3D shapes using their nets. Remember a net is a pattern that you can cut and fold to make a model of a 3D shape. We start by making shapes that resemble items we might find in the kitchen, a box of cereal and a tin of beans. We then make a tent, but unfortunately, it’s a bit small for camping! There are more shapes to build, remember to take your time cutting them out – make sure you’re neat and don’t get wrapped up in too much sellotape!
Don’t forget to take pictures of your amazing shapes and share them on Class Dojo!

Maths Lines and Shapes Lesson 8 – Describing Three-Dimensional Shapes.
It’s time to get our thinking caps on today, we start by looking at a shape and then describing it. It’s important to use our mathematical language to explain what you see.
Remember back to our work with different types of lines, and our knowledge of angles to help us. Are there any vertical or horizontal lines? Are there parallel lines or do they meet to make a right angle? How many faces does the shape have?
We also recap types of lines in our guided practice where we identify lines in objects.
We still need our detective skills for our greater depth task where we are given a clue about the face of a shape.

You will write about how a plant is adapted to survive in its environment. You can use the slides to help you or research your own. |

Maths Fractions: Lesson 9 – Recognise and show equivalent fractions. We start today with fractions that are equal to ½. We start to understand that we can use our times tables to help us and the key fact to remember is that we always do exactly the same thing with our numerator and denominator.
We start to show our working out in a new way that shows the written fraction and the multiple that we are using.
This equivalent fraction shows that our numerator is multiplied by 2 (1 x 2 = 2), and our denominator is also multiplied by 2 (3 x 2 = 6).

As we’ve learnt so far we can classify animals in different ways, firstly by its type and secondly by what it eats.
Can you tell your grown-ups at home what animal type you are and whether you are an omnivore, carnivore or herbivore?
All animals need to eat; they need to eat to get nutrients, these nutrients help animals to work properly, grow and say healthy.
We will look at nutrients in the food we eat, how we can group food types and putting this into practice by looking at your own meals!

Maths Fractions: Lesson 1 – Recap and Tenths Today we will be looking at fractions. Firstly, a recap of what they are, what they look like and how we write them with an activity to find different fractions of shapes.
It’s very important to understand the word ‘fraction’ as equal parts of a whole – this can be a whole number, shape or object. We use very different words, numerator and denominator. The denominator is the number below the line and the numerator is always above it. The help to tell us what our whole one looks like, and how many parts of it we have. We can help our learning by using familiar items or shapes – pizza is cut into equal size slices, as is cake for example.
We then move onto counting with tenths looking at a rather large chocolate bar! You can do the lesson without chocolate, but it might help!

Science: Animals including Humans Lesson One – Types of Animals Science: Animals including Humans Classification In this this new topic for our science lessons we are learning about animals including humans. We will look at different types of animals from all over the world and investigate the things that are needed to grow and stay healthy as well as how they move and what they need to eat. In this first lesson we are looking at classification, how we group animals together. Watch the BBC Bitesize clip to begin with and then think and discuss with your grown-ups at home what you know about different types of animals, what are the similarities? What are the differences? There are six main groups of animals, but also two that we are not as familiar with. See the pdf files for more information and characteristics of birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, amphibians, molluscs, insects and arthropods.
Can you name and classify creatures that you know? Have a go! Here’s one to start with for you … there are many different types of spider, big ones, small ones and huge ones with hairy legs! They are all Arthropods. How many animals can you name and classify? Set a time of 5 minutes and have a go!
Now for the challenge - can you sort animals depending on their classification? Make a chart like this one in your book:
Now, with your grown-ups go outside into the garden or if you go out for a walk make a tally chart, noting when you see a different type of animal – it might be hard to count everyone you see (a flock of birds might be tricky!) but each type might be easier! If you can name any of the creatures you see that would be fantastic and might just be a Dojo or two! You could watch the preview for the David Attenborough programme Seven Worlds, One Planet and do the same thing if it is wet or you want another challenge! Good luck Year 3!

English- see the slides uploaded on the website below. Spellings: Look at the pictures and write the words. On slide 3 you will see the answers. If you have spelt any wrong, write them out using the pyramid method (only choose 3).
Comprehension Read the story the Hare and the Tortoise. Highlight or note down any key information about the Hare and in a different colour do the same for the Tortoise. Complete the character check on the slides about each of the characters. Use your retrieval skills to retrieve information from the text to write about what you know (speech bubbles) and use inference to complete what you think about the character (thought bubbles). To challenge yourself, include evidence from the text to support your ideas about the character. For example, ‘I think the Tortoise is nosy because he was always listening to the Hare boasting’. Finally compare the two characters. Think about what makes them different and what makes them similar and record your ideas in a Venn Diagram.

Dear Diary, Well today was one of the best days of my life! I started the day walking to Willy Wonka’s factory with Grandpa Joe. It was freezing cold - the snow crunched under my feet as the icy wind nipped at my face but I didn’t mind because I knew I would soon be inside the factory. When we arrived at the factory we were greeted by a rowdy crowd of reporters and Wonka fans and amongst them all were the other 4 lucky winners. I couldn’t believe my luck - I was about to go inside Wonka’s factory!

Science – Gravity and Air Resistance Today we will investigate what causes things to fall, learning about Sir Isaac Newton – a very important scientist from history. We will also look at a force can act against gravity when objects travel through the air.
We have two short clips to watch which help us to understand gravity and air resistance before we experiment to see how some objects react when falling.
You’ll experiment with making your own parachute and seeing how your coat can slow you down!
Make sure you write up your findings using your knowledge and scientific vocabulary from your knowledge mat. You can also copy the fill in the gaps challenge from the BBC Bitesize page into your exercise books. Have fun!!

Maths Measuring Time in Seconds – Lesson 10 Today we are using the second hand on an analogue clock to measure time in seconds. We need to watch it very carefully as it moves quickly! Each time the second hand goes around the clockface is one minute, the minute hand will move one small line between the numbers on the clock – the hour hand won’t move very much at all. Key facts to remember are that there are 60 (sixty) seconds in a minute and sixty (60) minutes in an hour. We will be counting seconds (written as s) in blocks of 5 using the numbers as our guide. For the worksheet the second hand does not look like an arrow to help us know (there are now 3 hands on the clock face). Timetables Rockstar's – play for 15 minutes!

Topic
Today we will conduct product research. Take some time to think about what we did last week – taste testing chocolates. What were our favourite ingredients? E.g. caramel, nuts, wafer, marshmallows, nougat, honey, smarties, mint etc. Your task today is to make a simple survey to find out what the most favoured ingredients are in chocolates. Your survey can be in your book or online using a free trial on www.surveymonkey.co.uk Think back to your reading lessons in English and come up with some multiple-choice questions. Get your family to answer them – ring your friends or extended family and get them to answer your questions. Try and ask about 10 people if you can! You can use my examples to get you started – why not change some of the options to make it your own?
e.g. Which do you prefer?
What is your favrouite flavour?
Do you like nuts?
Which filling would you prefer?
As you ask your family and friends for their answers, make a tally chart to keep records of your findings. Decide which ingredients would make the best chocolate bar based on your answers to your survey. Challenge: Can you make a bar chart to show your results?

Maths Telling the Time Lesson 8.
In today’s lesson we are using a stopwatch to measure time in seconds. We find out that a stopwatch sometimes measure time in part of a second. Use a stopwatch on a grown-up's mobile phone to complete the in-focus task comparing the time it takes for two of you to complete simple tasks like counting and clapping. You could experiment by comparing other things like walking for a set distance or number of steps. Worksheet 8 asks you to tell us the time recorded a number of stopwatches. You need to tell us how much time is recorded – more than and less than are required.

Maths Telling the time Lesson 6. We’re using travel as the theme in today's lesson for in focus and looking at analogue and digital clocks to help us understand when travel times are. We are learning about telling the time using 24-hour clocks. Remember, as we go past 12pm we count on each hour, so 1pm would be 13:00, 2pm would be 14:00 and so on. If the time is in the am (morning) you would write 09:45 for 9:45am. Worksheet 6 asks you to tell us the time using am or pm and the 24-hour clock with examples to help you.

Science – What makes things float? Today we are going to continue our investigation of forces. This time it is buoyancy or up-thrust (the force that combined with gravity, makes things float or sink). This BBC Bitesize clip gives you a summary of what buoyancy is and Mocomi go into more detail. Our activity today is to use this knowledge to make your own floating vessel!
The experiment requires something that you can make into a boat (the clip will help you, as will your knowledge of what they look like). You can use play-doh, plasticine, bluetak or even kitchen foil. You must be able to shape it to look like a boat. You’ll need some passengers for your boat as well, I chose Lego folk! Don’t forget to take pictures of you making and testing your boats!
