Hello Year 3! I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe.
Welcome to the last Home Learning page before the summer holiday. I do hope you will enjoy the activities. This week we are looking at advertisements.
A huge thank you to all of you who have kept yourselves busy learning, whether you've been using the white SPaG and Maths Workout books, reading and writing at home, using these pages and sharing your work with me, you are all wonderful! THANK YOU SO MUCH! It is so important not to let our brains get a little rusty!
If you joined the Home Learning website a little late in the term maybe have a look at all of the pages... it's not too late to do some of the activities! I've also added a Summer Maths Booklet, a Summer English Booklet, some craft ideas and some puzzles in the Extras section for those rainy summer days!
Wishing you all a very healthy, happy summer holiday! Take care everyone, June
Some of you have been working on the white CGP Year 3 Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling books and Year 3 Maths 10 Minute Weekly Workouts books, and have asked for the answers to mark the work. Please find the answers here.
A huge congratulations if you have already finished the books! WELL DONE!
Literacy
SPELLING
This week's spelling list is again a mixture of words from the Year 3 Spelling Bee and the Year 4 Spelling Bee. I will read out the list, you write the words down, then please check your spellings here. Practice during the week and aim to beat your score on Friday. Good luck!

1. Grammar and Punctuation
Here is your weekly SPaG test, Grammar and Punctuation Test 6 . Are you keeping a record of your scores?
Check your answers here. Good luck :-)
2. Cloze exercise
Here is another Cloze Exercise. This week you have a story, use the word list to complete the words involved and make sure the story makes sense.
Find the answers here, no peeking please!
3. Correct the Spelling Mistakes
I thought you might like this exercise where you have to Correct the Spelling Mistakes! Let me know if you find it tricky, easy-peasy or somewhere in between!
WRITING
For our last week there is another link between the Writing task and IPC Art task. Here we are going to look at Persuasive Writing in Advertisements.
First, look at the PowerPoint to the right, this should help to get you thinking about adverts and the language they use.
Next, please read the comprehension below on the Five Palms Hotel. Then, please answer the questions that follow.
Wouldn't it be nice to be there at the moment. I think I'd head to the Spa! I guess you would all head to the pool!
Persuasive-Writing-in-Advertisements-Powerpoint_ver_2.pptQs persuasive-hotel-advertisement-writing-sample_ver_1.pdfOne of the questions in the reading comprehension asks about rhectorical questions. A rhectorical question is one that does not require an answer. For example, a friend of mine often says: 'But what would I know?' when she's a little cross. She doesn't actually want me to tell her all that she knows! She wants me to know she's a little bit fed up! In case that didn't make sense to you, I've added a little poster below to help :-)

Times Tables
Use this website timestables.me.uk to generate speed quizzes - remember 60 questions (multiple & divide) with a 6 minute time cap – aim to get more accurate and faster over the week! FOCUS ON THE TIMES TABLES AND INVERSES YOU KNOW YOU NEED. Get an adult/older sibling to test you at the start and end of each week. Don’t worry if you can’t print out worksheets, just use paper or use the interactive quizes.
Shape
1. This week we finish our focus on shape by looking at angles.
Angles are made when two straight lines meet, they are a measurement of turn. Please look at the two PowerPoints to the right, Angles and Bigger or Smaller Than a Right Angle, which will explain this further.
2. Next, please complete this worksheet called Is It A Right Angle?
3. Then, please look at the third Powerpoint, Turns and Angles, and complete the related worksheet: Turns and Angles.
4. Finally, please complete your AM class exercise which has questions on angles. If you have an unfinished exercise please do that first. Please work on any exercise you might have in your group, then any test, diagnostic test and practice. Thank you.

IPC - Inventions (History)
As this is our final week on Inventions, I thought we would not look at a specific invention but look at inventions generally. We are also going to think about the design and advertising of products.
First, there is a Famous Designers and Inventors PowerPoint for you to look at. You don't necessarilly need to do any of the activitities. Next to the PowerPoint is a cut-out-and-paste acitivity on Appliance Ordering to help you think about the importance of housedhold items and how such inventions changed people's lives.
There is also a brief worksheet on Interesting Inventors, some you may need to look up. Finally, there is a Scientist and Inventors Crossword for you that you should now be able to complete.

Be imaginative, be inspired!
As it is the end of our Inventions topic I hope you have an idea for your own invention. Remember, you don’t have to actually make it, a design drawing will do! You can use the squared paper here for your drawing but any paper will do.
Over the weeks many of you have shared your ideas. Here are some wonderful inventions by Sarah, Daisy and Lily.
But now it's time to advertise your invention...
Be creative, get advertising!
As this is our final week on Inventions we will now look at advertising our inventions! You need to sell your product!
Once you have your idea I'd like you to make a poster or presentation to advertise your product!
First, please look at the Persuasive Writing in Advertising PowerPoint and at the Persuasive Adverts poster on the right to help you to start thinking about your advert.
Next, there is a planning sheet for you to help you gather your ideas.
You can then make your poster digitally, but if you would like to draw your poster here is an Awesome Advertisements sheet, but any paper will do.
If you'd like to make a presentation to advertise your product you could use PowerPoint or Keynote.
Persuasive-Writing-in-Advertising-PowerPoint.ppttext-types-guide-persuasive-writing-display-poster-_ver_1.pdfSeveral years ago a Year 4 class used iMovie to make this video of their invention ideas: SWB News! Year 4 Invention Adverts! I thought you might like to see it, it could help you to develop some of your own ideas.
Be crafty!
Last week, Week 11, we looked at reusing plastic bottles for some craft activities. Look at these amazing penguins!
Many of you have enjoyed these craft activities and have shared them with me, they've been great! If you haven't made anything youself yet you might like to look back for some ideas:
Week 10 - egg carton crafts and making string telephones using tin cans or plastic cups
Week 9 - paper aeroplanes and helicopters
Year 4 Week 8 - toilet roll crafts
Year 4 Week 7 - empty cereal boxes
Do have a look if you missed these and have fun!
Be amused!
At the end of each term in school we often watch a film related to our topic. This week we would have watched a Wallace and Gromit film as they are our favourite, entertaining inventors!
As I can't add a film to this page I thought we could look at the Wallace and Gromit website instead. On the website, there are clips of their many films, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is my favourite! There are lots of activities too. I hope you have fun exploring the website :-)
Science
Our new science topic 'Magnets, springs & force' is now live on Education City. You need to get 80% before you can progress to the next level.
Tony has been doing these 'Kitchen Science' activities, at home, with his children. You might be able to do some of them too. They're great fun and you can do most of them with things you'll have in the kitchen. Make sure you get adult help.
Fancy more Science? These practical science experiments can be done at home with your family. Have fun with them!
