Year 3 homework to be handed in by 2.2.23

READING

Continue to read every night! Please listen to your child’s fluency. It is good to let them read a page twice or even three times- building up their word recognition and really focusing on reading the punctuation - pausing is all the correct places

MATHS - Daily practice

Dear parents we need you help- last week the children were asked to complete 5-10 minutes of TT Rockstars everyday. They need to log on and play in the garage. I have shown them in class. 9 children haven’t been on their account this week. I have had a quiet word with them to explain how important it is to learn these facts and to know that I am able to track their progress. Thank you to everyone who started to make this part of their routine.

Passwords in homework books- display somewhere at home to.

ENGLISH

This week we have read chapter 3 of Ice Cat. Below is a copy of this chapter. I would like you to read this chapter to an adult. When reading please make sure you focus on using the punctuation and pausing when you see a comma or full stop. Start a new sentence with a new tone - its a new mini story. Use commas for a mini pause too.

Parent grade: (are we improving the following…)

1. reading each word correctly and accurately

2. reading in an interesting voice

3. reading at a decent pace - not too fast or slow.

4. Ability to use punctuation

Once you have done this, just like last week, can you summaries what happened in this chapter in 1 or 2 sentences. We will share these next week.

SCIENCE

Find out who was the inventor(s) of electricity. Tell me a little bit about their early life. Can you find out as much information as you can about how their invention came about. How did their invention effect or change our world? We will share our findings next week.

ONLINE SAFETY- EXCITING CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY!

Competition set by Mrs Gregan - to be in on Monday 6th February (optional)

Year 3 homework to be handed in on 26.1.23

READING

Readig take priority - as always. Please read daily with your child.

COMPUTING

This week we have continued our learning of coding. We have set you the 2Do, ‘Magician’. To complete this activity you must follow each step, carefully listening to the short videos at the start of each task. Remember that if you are still stuck you can use the HINT button to give you more help.

One of our new words in computing this week was, NESTED. We soon realised how important it is to make sure we nested our commands together so that they ran in the correct order. You will need to be mindful of this when you complete this challenge at home:

ENGLISH

Along with discovering our reading brains, we also looked at how to summerise and did this after reading Chapter 1. In your homework book we would like you to have a go at summarising Chapter 2. Remember to do this correctly, your summery must only be one or two sentences long. It must include only the key information about this chapter.

What was the point to this chapter? What did we find out? Can you make your sentence/s into complex a sentence/s by adding: when, if, because, although, while, since, until, before, after, so?

MATHS

TT Rock stars!!!

I would like the children to complete TT Rock Stars everyday for 5 - 10 minutes. Could you please organise a time in the day when they have to complete their “TT - time”. It could be after breakfast - great for getting your brain going. TT Rockstars systematically and intuitively interacts with the user as they learn their multiplication and division facts off by heart!! I am able to see how much daily time was spent on the program and each child has a heat map in the teacher’s dashboard. This heat map displays each fact in a different colour- red for the facts they don’t know yet - then it turns orange then yellow then green the quicker they become. Eventually they become a Rock Legend!!

SPELLING

More words ending with the chuh sound spelt - ture

furniture

future

mixture

nature

picture

puncture

sculpture

texture

Thank you!!!!


Year 3 home learning

From now until we return, we want you to relax and enjoy Christmas. Spend time together, take the pressure off… bake, watch your favourite films, visit somewhere new, re-organise your bedroom, learn how to play a new board game, GET CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN!

We would love for you to share these memories that you make… you have our emails and can send any photos that you would like us to share in class when we return.

Try and get lost in a new book, visit the library if you can. When we return we will be looking at describing settings and characters… maybe you could start to magpie ideas from books that you read over the summer. These ideas could go into your homework book so that you have them to use when in school.

Remember that you have TT Rockstars to continue to use. Can you earn enough points to make your character Christmassy?

All our love, and wishing you the most wonderful Christmas.

Your ever growing Year 3 team xxx
