Friday Challenge!

Place Value Battle

 

Choose your opponent(s) and each player draws 3 horizontal lines next to each other on a piece of paper, as if you were going to write a three-digit number.

 

Take it in turns to roll a die and write the number it lands on onto your chosen place value line. The aim of the game is to be the player with the greatest three-digit number at the end of the game. Good luck!

 

Topic

Geography

 

Geography Choose a place in the world for each of these habitats: - Rainforest - Desert - Mountains For each, research the following: - What animals live there? - What is the weather like? Does it rain often? - Do people live there? What do they eat? What language do they speak?

 

Art

 

Research the artist Vanessa Bowman. Find two paintings by this artist of landscapes. Consider the landscapes and answer the following questions: - What do you notice about the paintings? - What similarities and differences are there between them? - Do you like the paintings or not? Make sure to give reasons why.

 

D.T.

 

Think about different types of houses e.g. terraced houses, mansions, flats, bungalows.

 

Create a plan for building your own model of a house. Draw a sketch of your house (including a front view, a side view and a floor plan) and list the materials you would need to build your model.

 

Science

Parts of the plant we eat:

 

We know that eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is good for us. But where do they come from? Fruits and vegetables are parts of plants, but they aren’t always the flower. Look at these fruits and vegetables and think about which part of the plant you think they are from. I.e. is the sprout the flower? The fruit/flower/leaf or roots? Try and find a fruit/vegetable that comes from each part of the plant and make a poster showing them. I.e. Apple – fruit. Broccoli – flower. Lettuce – leaves. Carrots - roots.

 

Comparing leaves:

 

Go outside and find 4 different leaves. Bring them inside and note how they are different and how they are similar. Think about their colour, shape, texture, size and smell. Can you look them up with your descriptions to see which leaf they are/which tree they belong to?

 

If you cannot go outside, research these leaves; (oak, sycamore, beech and birch) and do the same. Create a fact file on at least one of the leaves you have looked at. Think about these questions: How would you define a leaf? What are they for? What is their purpose?

 

Seed dispersal:

 

We know that plants grow after we plant a seed. They then need water, light etc to grow. But how do plants grow in areas that we do not plant seeds? For example, fields, parks etc? Seeds can be moved around/spread in a number of ways. Watch:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/

bitesize/clips/znvfb9q

 

and describe the different ways seeds can be spread/dispersed. You can draw the ways they travel or explain them in sentences.

 

Well-being

and Exercise

 

Practise your keep-up skills. How many keep-ups can you do with a ball in one minute? Try and beat your score then challenge a family member to see if they can beat you.

 

 

Take a rainbow walk! When you are outside on a walk, run or bike ride, try and find something for each colour of the rainbow.

RE

 

Hello Year 3!

This term in RE we are looking at religious journeys. Don’t forget this is called a pilgrimage.

Last week we started thinking about Hinduism. Watch the BBC video about Hindu Pilgrimages

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/religious-studies-ks2-my-life-my-religion

-hinduism-pilgrimage-hinduism/z4ghf4j

Don’t forget a pilgrimage is not a holiday. Can you sort these words into three lists or bubbles,

 one for pilgrims, one for tourists and one for both.

Holiday / travel / journey / prayer / spiritual / swimming / worship / happy / food / once in a lifetime /

ambition / hope / change / relax / challenge / fun / deep thoughts / River Ganges / Hindus / mountains.

Enjoy your learning!
