Good morning Year 3! We hope you are feeling well today. This is your last day of home learning before we see you in school tomorrow - we can't wait to see you again! As always, if you have any questions or you would like to show us your work, please email year3@bgfjs.org

Here is your timetable for the day:

Before we start, try this optical illusion. How many black spots can you count?

Answer: There are no black dots.

If you focus directly on each dot, you'll see that all of them are white.

Session 1: PE

Let's join Joe and start the day with some exercise. Today the dice will decide what exercises you will do! Grab some water and let's get started.

Session 2: Literacy

1. Start by looking at this sentence telling us how heavy a whale's heart can be. Can you find three nouns in the sentence?

2. Today you will be investigating the suffixes -er and -est. Watch this video and remember to pause when the teacher tells you to or when you need some thinking time.

Suffixes

Don't forget to login to your Active Learn to read some more books. If you have forgotten your login detail please just email us at year3@bgfjs.org and we will send it to you.

Break

It's time to take a break! Go and stretch your legs and maybe get a snack. While you do that, here is a riddle for you to think about.

You will find the answer at Story Time.

Riddle

I have hands and a face but I can't hold anything or smile. What am I ?

Session 3: Maths

1. Starter: What is the value of each diagram?

2. Today we are going to be dividing by 8. Watch the video and pause when the teacher tells you to and when you need some thinking time.

Aut3.12.3 - Divide by 8 from White Rose Maths on Vimeo.

Now download this activity and answer the questions. If you need help you can watch some of the video again.

Divide by 8

3. Don't forget to login to Mathletics and Times Table Rockstars to challenge yourself with more maths practice.

Lunch

Remember to wash your hands before you eat. While you take a break you can try this word search.

Try and find all of these words. Have you noticed they all end with the suffix -ed?

Geography

It's now time for a geography lesson. We are going to review our knowledge of volcanoes that we were learning about last term. Remember, a volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust that allows magma, hot ash and gases to escape. Read the text on the BBC website then watch the video:

BBC Bitesize - Volcanoes

Continue reading to find out about eruptions. Most volcanic eruptions are caused by tectonic plates moving towards each other, which usually produces violent eruptions. Then watch the video to see some different volcanic eruptions of different sizes.

Now you've reviewed your knowledge of volcanoes, scroll down to the bottom of the BBC website to take a short quiz:

Finally, download this activity that gives volcano keywords and definitions. Use these to label the cross section of the volcano.

Riddle

I have hands and a face but I can't hold anything or smile. What am I ?

Answer

A clock

Story Time

It's time to sit back, relax and listen to a story. Today's story is Dancing Hands written by Margarita Engle, illustrated by Rafael López.

You’ve worked so hard today! Remember to email us at year3@bgfjs.org to tell us how you’re getting on. Remember to say who your email is from!

Have a lovely evening and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
