Week 1 - Monday 23rd March - Friday 27th March

Year three home learning tasks

Please find below the tasks set for this week.

There is a reading, writing and maths task for each day.

We would also like it if you can take part in some form of physical activity every day.

On top of this, there is a religion, science, french and spelling task to complete.

Everybody's home arrangements will be different, so please organise it so it works best for your individual family.

Religion

Learning Focus - How people give themselves.

Make a list of people who work in dangerous situations, at difficult tasks in unpleasant places and at unsocial times.

Who are they?
What do they do?
How do you think these people feel about what they do?
What do you think about what they do?
What would we do without them?

Could you imagine yourself doing any of these jobs? Why? Why not? Record your thoughts and ideas in a variety of ways - words, pictures, tables - the choice is yours.

Physical Education

Every day spend time being active. If you can get outside, please do. If not, lots of ideas can be found here.

Reading

It is vital that children have opportunities to read every day.

Either silent reading or reading aloud, then discussing what they have read.

Weekly Reading Tasks (aim to do 1 a day)

You could share a story together. This could be a chapter book where you read and discuss a chapter a day.

Listen to your child read and let them discuss what they have read. Encourage them to read with expression and intonation.

Watch Newsround and discuss what is happening in the wider world.

Get your child to read a book on Oxford Owl, discuss what your child enjoyed about the book.

Explore new vocabulary you find when reading. What are the origins of this word? Can it be modified? Can you find any synonyms or antonyms for your new word?

With your child, look in magazines, newspapers and books for new vocabulary they are unfamiliar with. They could use a highlighter to highlight in magazines and newspapers.
