Good morning Year 3!
Let’s take a look at what we are going to be learning about today!
Picture
Thank you Maria, Tasnim, Surah and Sahra for giving your brain muscle such a great workout!  Take a look at their work (below).

To all our wonderful year 3s, keep working hard but remember to also include fun activities into your day so that your brain gets a rest too.  If you have any questions or would like to say hello, email us at this address: year3@bgfjs.org (don't forget to include your name on the email so we know who it's from!)


​9-9.30: Let’s get ready to give our body a work out. We can join Joe Wicks with another PE session.

Lesson 1: History

1) Today, we are looking at Roman temples. Watch this video about ‘How Roman Cities are Designed and Built’. Click on the image below to access the video. ​​
Picture
Here are some images of famous Roman temples. ​

The Pantheon in Rome                                A Roman Temple in Nimes, France                              Dougga Capitol, Tunisia    

​Do you notice any similarities?


I noticed that ... 

Picture
There were many temples in Rome and throughout the Roman Empire. They were generally built for a single god and had a statue of the god at the centre. The most important temple in Ancient Rome was the Temple of Jupiter located on Capitoline Hill. The Pantheon was a temple to all of the Roman gods.​

2) Design your own Roman temple

Get creative and draw your own Roman temple. Make yours include columns, eggs and darts, a pediment and a capital. When you are finished, label your drawing.
​

3) 
Some extra information about Roman gods
​

If you would like to find out more about Roman Gods, click on the image below for more information. This website gives more information on how the Roman and Greek gods are linked.

Picture
Scroll down, and under the activities subheading, you can click the play button on the website and listen to a recorded reading of this information. When you are finished, take a quiz and test your knowledge of Roman gods.

Romans in London
​

Here is a news report about a Roman Temple found underneath the City of London.

Break: Time for a short brain break.  Go grab yourself a drink. Remember to wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds before getting something to eat or after going to the toilet!

Joke: 
Knock, knock. 
Who’s there? 
Cows go. Cows go who? 
No silly, cows go MOO!

Remember to send us your funny jokes so that we can share them with everyone.  Send them to year3@bgfjs.org (don't forget to include your name on the email!)



Lesson 2:  Numeracy

1) Practice your 4 times tables. Click on the image below and follow the steps to practice your 4 times tables.
Picture
2) Let’s have a look at the 4 and 8 times tables. Download the sheet below to practice your 4 and 8 times tables.

File Type: docx

3) Test your 8 times tables knowledge. Click on the image below and follow the steps to practice your 8 times tables.
Picture
4) Something Extra 

Practice more of your times tables on J2blast.

Feeling Creative 

Make a 4 and 8 times tables poster so you can practice at home. Here are some examples.
Picture

Lunch: Before you eat though, remember to wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds!
 
Riddle: What becomes wetter the more it dries?

Lesson 3: Computing

1) Let’s refresh our memory. Watch this video about ‘What is an algorithm?’
Picture
An algorithm is a clear set of instructions to complete a task. A programme is a set of instructions a computer can understand. When we are writing an algorithm, we must think about how clear and easy are instructions are to follow. 

We create and follow algorithms all the time. For example when traveling to the shop we follow directions or when baking a cake we follow a recipe.​

2) Coding 

We are going to practice some coding! We are going to be programming with blocks commands. Click on the image below, watch the video and when it finishes, start coding.


Picture
3) Label the Different parts of Code Studio
Picture
4) More Practice 

If you want more practice, click the image below and try out the puzzle ‘The Collector'.

End of the day:
​

Great work today!

Remember you should be aiming to read for at least 20-30 minutes every day, either on Active Learn (Bug Club) or with a book.

Today’s story is read by Chris O’Dowd. Chris O’Dowd reads the story of Arnie the Doughnut by Laurie Keller. Click the video to listen to him read an extract from the book. Let’s unwind and enjoy.


​Remember, if you have any questions or would like to send your work for us to see, email us at:
year3@bgfjs.org (don't forget to include your name on the email so we know who it's from!)

(The answer to lunch time’s riddle is… a towel! )
