REMEMBER - BE SMART ONLINE
Please note, next week is half term and there will be no new work on the website.
Week 5 - 18/05/20
Hi guys,
I hope you and your families are safe and well?
I can’t believe we are in the final week of this half term. For me time is flying by very quickly, I hope it is the same for you? The trick is to keep busy – do as much school work as possible, help the adults around you, learn a new skill, practice and develop an existing skill and if you can get outside (socially distance!) & keep active.
A big thank you to everyone sending me examples of the amazing work you are doing. Please keep it coming in, and if you’re lucky, you might see it published on this website!
Please keep going with all the usual routines of reading, times tables, spellings, AR and AMaths.
18-05-20 intro video.movUse this website as the starting point for your work; then feel free to do any extra you can, Mathletics, Education City and the workbooks you took home will help with this. If you are short of reading material sign up to the Idea Store, for free eBooks and loads of other goodies.
I can’t wait to see your work. Have a fantastic week…
Tony.
NHS Rainbow Art Project
NHS Rainbow Lego.jpgHelp us create a huge rainbow artwork as a tribute to our amazing NHS and care staff.
Each year group has been assigned a colour. Our colour (Year 3) is GREEN. The challenge is to create a piece of artwork using only GREEN. The idea is, once we get back to school, we will create a huge rainbow collage using all our artworks. You could make a heart shape or draw around your hand; in fact you can create anything you want, but ONLY use the colour GREEN. Don't leave any white spaces as it will spoil the effect! Get creative, share them with me and keep the original safe for when we get back to school.
If you would like to share your work please send it to shareyear3@swbschool.net
Maths
First of all, finish off any work on fractions from the last two weeks using the Oak Academy, Khan Academy and BBC Bite Size resources here:
Then, print out and complete this worksheet. If you can’t print, don’t worry – copy out the shapes accurately, using a ruler; then colour and label the fractions.

Equivalent means something that is equal or the same. Now, have a look at this equivalent fractions PowerPoint --->
Then, work your way through the Khan Academy lessons.
T2-M-409-Year-3-Equivalent-Fractions-Powerpoint-with-Worksheets copy.pptEquivalent Fractions Worksheets.pdfFinally, print and complete this worksheet. If you can’t, use a ruler, copy out the shapes, draw & label the fractions and colour them if needed.
More advanced mathematicians can take it a step further and look at equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages. Start with the 'Decimal Dance Off' video and then use these two Twinkl resources and complete the matching activity.

Fancy a different kind of challenge? Try these Premier League maths puzzles. Which teacher, at SWB, does this footballer remind you of?!! Answer on a postcard please. Signed photo for the winner!!!
Literacy
Start with chapter 4. Remember you don’t need to print, you can read it straight from the screen. When you have finished reading, try one (or more) of these writing activities. Draw a picture to illustrate your ideas.
Writing – Option 1 – Look at the options at the end of the chapter. Write an exciting opening sentence for chapter 5 for each of these options.
Option 2 – Have you ever had to disobey a grown-up’s rule because of an emergency? Either write an account of this experience or make up an incident of your own where this might happen.
Option 3 – Write a poem about the night sky and how it makes you feel. Use the words below to help you with your writing. Use a dictionary to find the meanings of any words you do not know.
sprinkled, sparkling, blinking, twinkling, blazing, pearly, glow, jewels, diamonds, dust, clusters, galaxies, deep, empty, vast, silent, millions, planets, moon, universe
Option 4 – In this chapter, the Stone Age Shadow tribe is enjoying festivities, a bonfire, dancing and chanting. What festivities have you been to? Write a detailed description of a festive occasion in your life.
Then, imagine you are a nurse working away. Write a letter home – why would it be important to keep in touch with your friends and family? What experiences and stories would you tell them?
Journal – We all know what an amazing job our NHS and care staff are doing. They are truly superheroes. Florence Nightingale was the original nurse. Last Tuesday, was International Nursing Day - we have never relied on them so much. Watch this fantastic video to learn all about her life.
Kofoworola Pratt was another awesome nursing pioneer. Research what you can about her and write your journal from her point of view.
Spellings – This week’s spellings are ‘More compound words’. Use last week's PowerPoint, then watch the new video and practice the words (no peeking!). Finally, use the practice sheet to check your answers. Practice during the week and aim to beat your score on Friday.
More compound words video.MOVJoining-Words-to-Make-a-Compound-Noun-SPaG-Grammar-Powerpoint-Quiz.pptSPaG - visit Bite Size to test your knowledge of compound words.
Reading – Here's episode 2 of 'Stig of the Dump'. Don't forget all 5 episodes are free to view on You Tube.
Don't forget you can download the book from the Idea Store online.

For the final part of this topic we look at the ‘Iron Age’.
Start with this PowerPoint and watch these videos in order, from left to right, top to bottom, to get a fascinating look at Britain during the Iron Age.
Introduction to the Iron Age PowerPoint.ppt
Life in Iron Age Britain.
Investigating an Iron Age Mirror.
Interpreting evidence: an Iron Age coin.
What was it like to live in the Iron Age, and how do we know? Where does our information come from?
I am setting you all a challenge that you have two weeks to complete. Choose (at least) two of the ideas below. Get busy and creative and share your work with me. Use a mobile phone to take a photo or video and send it to: shareyear3@swbschool.net. I can't wait to see some amazing work from all of you.
Design a poster (use a computer / iPad if you can) giving five facts about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. Include a picture for each fact.
Build a model roundhouse out of recycled materials.
Write a diary entry from a person living in the Iron Age, using your knowledge of life during the Iron Age.
Design and create some Iron Age jewellery, using cardboard, foil, gems and beads.
Create some Iron Age bunting, with facts and illustrations about the Iron Age on each flag.
Celtic place names begin with Aber- or Inver- (which means 'mouth of a river'). Look at a map of Scotland and find some Celtic place names. Research the history of these places. Share three facts about three different places. Illustrate these with maps, diagrams or pictures.
Compare the way people lived in the different ages: when do they think it was better to live – the Stone Age, the Bronze Age or the Iron Age?
Science
Please continue with Solids & liquids on Education City. New science activities will be published after half term.
For extra information and activities. Check BBC Bite Size:
3 states of matter image.pngREMEMBER: Matter usually exists in one of three states or phases. It can be a solid, liquid, or gas. The seat and desk you are working at is a solid, the water you drink is a liquid, and the air around us is a gas.
