REMEMBER - BE SMART (with a heart) ONLINE
Week 7 - 08/06/20
Hi guys!
I hope you, all your family and friends are well?
A massive thank you to everyone who is keeping busy completing the online learning activities and keeping up-to-date with all our regular routines (reading, AR, AM, speed quizzes, SPaG and spelling). I know it isn't easy working at home, but do as much as possible. You will feel the benefit when we return to school.
Speaking of returning to school, I know that some of you are coming back next week - I look forward to seeing you! Otherwise, please keep going with the online learning.
Have a great week...
Tony.
08-06-20 Welcome Video.movNHS 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.
THANK YOU TO MUHAMED AND SALSABILA FOR THESE AMAZING PICTURES - KEEP THEM COMING IN!!!

Maths
Continuing to look at time this week... concentrating on o'clock, quarter to and quarter & half past. The very best way to learn time is practice, so please do as much as you can around your home - comparing digital and analogue clocks will help you. If you haven't yet, please ensure you have completed all the work on fractions and your AMaths is up-to-date. I will add the new objectives (on Telling the Time) when everything else is complete. REMEMBER – you can always go back and review the previous work using the tabs at the bottom of this page.
To remind you of the basics, you can always watch these two videos again...
Now, work your way through these activities and videos.
Teaching Clock Face template.jpgThis teaching clock face will be very useful, print it out if you can.
Print these worksheets, if you can, otherwise just copy the questions and answers out in your book or on paper. Work from the top, going left to right (in order of difficulty). There are loads of sheets, complete as many as you can (the answers are included - no peeking!)

This video will help.
Year 3 Middle (2).pdfYear 3 Higher.pdfTimes 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.
Literacy
Continuing our look at inventors who have helped to change the world. This week we look at electricity, think about how important this is in our lives today.
Electricity wasn't invented, it did, however, have to be discovered and understood. Most people give credit to Benjamin Franklin for discovering electricity. Benjamin Franklin had one of the greatest scientific minds of his time. He was interested in many areas of science, made many discoveries, and invented many things, including bifocal glasses (with two lenses - for short and long distances).
In 1831, electricity became viable (capable of working successfully) for use in technology when British inventor, Michael Faraday, created the electric dynamo (a very simple power generator), which solved the problem of generating electric current in an ongoing and practical way - in other words - so it could be used for powering things. The IPC section features Michael Faraday; make your own mind up - who's achievements were more significant?
Start by reading Franklin's biography here and then watch the videos below.
This video will tell you all about the amazing achievements of Franklin. He is well known for many things.
This video explains the history of electricity in a clear and easy to understand way.
Benjamin Franklin spent 16 years living and working in London. His former home is now a museum, which in normal times we could visit. Maybe, you'll get the chance soon! In the meantime, take a look at the website.
Writing - this online lesson is designed for Upper KS2, but I have no doubt you'll be able to manage the work and ideas. Watch the video and then try the persuasive writing activities.
au-sc-2460-benjamin-franklin-theorist-fact-file_ver_5.pdfActivity-Sheet-1.pdfPrint these, if you can, otherwise you can just use them for ideas. Why not do a digital version on your tablet or computer?
Activity-Sheet-2.pdfSpelling – This week’s spellings are ‘Suffixes - adding -ful'.
Some words have the suffix -ful added to them. Careful means full of care. PLEASE NOTE - the single 'l'.
If you didn't try this activity last week, do it now --->
Then, practice the spellings using this video, check your answers using this sheet.
Practice during the week and aim to beat your score on Friday.
Spellings - suffix -ful.MOV
SPaG - you will need to use Pronouns in your writing this week. Watch this video and try the activities.
Reading - Don't forget you can download books from the Idea Store online.
No doubt, Tower Hamlets will be launching their own 'Summer Reading Challenge' soon, but as you're stuck at home and if fancy getting involved in this one too; get an adult to sign you up.
IPC
Laying the foundation for modern physics and chemistry
If Franklin was the best known and most admired man of science in the Western world in the 18th century, Michael Faraday—who was born the year after Franklin died—achieved that distinction in the 19th century.
The similarities between the two men are numerous and each discovered a large variety of remarkable things by doing spectacular and dangerous experiments. Check out these amazing facts to start with.
Activity - produce a PowerPoint / KeyNote (or similar) on the amazing discoveries and inventions of the genius Michael Faraday. In addition, you could add Benjamin Franklin's achievements to this and make comparisons. Who do you think was more important and why? Share you work with me online.
This PowerPoint will give you more ideas --->

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.
I've been doing these 'Kitchen Science' activities, at home, with my 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.
Kitchen-science.pdfYou know that Ben Franklin was one of the fathers of electricity? Learn about Ben’s famous kite and key experiment and how this led to the invention of the lightning rod. Try your hand at some practical activities to explore static electricity!
Science_for_One_1_Box.pdfFancy more Science?!! These practical science experiments can be done at home with your family. Have fun with them!
Art
I hope you've been trying the amazing Pete McKee workshop lessons? If not, why?!!
I've got a question for you: how many people here would say they can draw? I would always say NO, but thanks to Pete McKee and, now, Graham Shaw I would say YES!!! It really isn't difficult to get started.
<--- Watch this video, it's inspirational!!!
This week we stay on drawing animals. Have a go and please share them with me.
Here are my latest effort...!!!
