Perimeter of Figures Lesson 4: Measuring Perimeter.

Today we challenge our maths skills by using squares that are 2cm! Knowledge of our counting in 2’s and 2 times table are important in our first activities, but then we move to 3 and 4. Have a practice of counting in these numbers and writing down the sequence to begin with so you have a ready-made resource to support your learning throughout the lesson.

Look at the image shown. Discuss the questions posed. Have you ever felt like this? What made you feel like this and how did you stop feeling like this? Consider the character’s body language and the messages it gives us about the mood. Predict what you think may have happened to the character.

 

We’re going to watch a music video today. Music videos are a great way to infer meaning about a song and it helps us to understand the meanings behind the lyrics and the messages song writers are trying to convey. Watch the music video ‘Titanium’ by David Guetta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfuAukYTKg

Pause the clip after 1 minute. What do you think has happened? How is the character feeling? What do you think will happen next? Use the body language and the setting to help you develop your inference answers.

Continue to watch the clip and then discuss the questions with someone at home.

Independent task:

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!

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!

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!

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.

Today you are going to expand your knowledge of famous artists. We have already looked at cave art and the techniques that were used all those many years ago. Now we are going to learn about more current artists. Choose a famous artist from the slides or if you have another artist in mind, why not use them? Research your famous artist and discover the techniques they use to create their art. Do they like thick brushstrokes? Do they like shapes with sharp edges? Does your artist draw scenes, still art or abstract art? Do they create sculptures?

Present your information about your artist in whatever way you would like e.g. a speech, a PowerPoint, a leaflet or a poster. Later in the week, you will create a piece of art in the style of your chosen artist so make sure you choose wisely.

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).

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!

Topic

 

Today we are going to continue our Topic of “How do I Keep My Brain Healthy?”

We are going to think about different emotions that we can experience in a day.

Have a look at the slides which will guide you through the session. It will be very helpful if an adult can help you as you discuss various feelings that you and they will experience. The most important message to get across is that we all experience a variety of feelings in a day. All feelings are important for our mental wellbeing but it is how we deal with them that is crucial.

Watch the video link and share your thoughts with an adult. Hear how they cope when they feel angry.

Lesson 18 – Changing Seconds to Minutes

Today’s lesson we will looking at time in seconds and converting it into minutes. Remembering our maths facts about time is very important again! We need to work out how many times 60 will go into the number of seconds we have.

For example: if we have 70 seconds we know that one lot of 60 will fit but there will be 10 remaining. This means that 70 seconds = 1 minute and 10 seconds.

Lesson 17 – Changing Minutes to Seconds 

Today we are converting minutes into seconds – it is important to remember our maths facts about time! There are 60 seconds in a minute, therefore when the second hand travels the whole way around the clock face (one complete turn) one minute has passed and the minute hand will move one small mark.  

You will need to use your skills with your 6 times tables for this!  

Watch the video to help your time skills!

Speech:

In today’s lesson you are going to be learning how to punctuate speech correctly. Speech is repeating the exact words as the person speaking and is always punctuated with speech marks and a comma OR exclamation / question mark. Read through the slides to help you develop your understanding of how to punctuate speech correctly. For your independent learning task you need to copy the sentences into your book and punctuate them correctly. Challenge yourself by writing 3 of your own sentences including speech about what the Hare and the Tortoise might say to each other after the race.

Lesson 16 - Measuring Time in Minutes 

In today’s lesson we look at counting backwards using the clock face and number line. We are looking at the time that you might need to leave in order to arrive at a given time. A good example of this is what time you need to leave for school each morning. Mr Rowe needs to arrive at school at 8:00am – it takes me 15 minutes to drive, what time does he need to leave home?

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:  

Animal Type 

Number Counted 

Amphibians 

  

  

Arthropods 

  

  

Birds 

  

  

Fish 

  

  

Insects 

  

  

Mammals 

  

  

Molluscs 

  

  

Reptiles 

  

  

  

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! 

 

RE – What are the religions of Alfreton?

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!

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.

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?

  1. Milk chocolate
  2. Dark chocolate
  3. White chocolate

 

What is your favrouite flavour?

  1. Mint
  2. Vanilla
  3. Strawberry

 

Do you like nuts?

  1. Yes
  2. No

 

Which filling would you prefer?

  1. Honeycomb
  2. Smarties
  3. Caramel
  4. Wafer

 

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?

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.

 

Follow the videos helping you to work out the time and use the pictures from our Maths No Problem books and complete the worksheet questions (sent in Dojo) in your exercise books. Don’t forget to Dojo your teacher your work and ask any questions too.

Persuasive packaging

An inventive product like yours deserves some exciting packaging!  Design your packaging making it exciting and eye-catching. Make sure the name is clear and the design is eye-catching. Remember to include tempting verbs and adjectives you persuade the reader to buy your product. (Use your ideas from the advert we created in school)

Reading – 15 minutes

Read your favourite book. Write about who your favourite character is and why.

 

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!
