Year 3 Home Learning – Week 2 (30/3/2020 – 3/4/2020)
Hello Year 3,
It’s been so lovely to see how hard you’ve been working at home this past week, I’m very very proud! It has been so nice to hear from some of you telling me how much you’re enjoying your home learning websites. Keep up the hard work!
Please keep checking Purple Mash 2email for any important updates and only email if there are any urgent problems. I will try to reply as soon as I possibly can.
As well as these tasks, it’s super important to have some fun! Watch some films, play in the garden (if possible), learn a new skill or hobby, and above all be safe and help your loved ones as much as you can.
Take care and stay safe. I miss you all!
Miss Connolly
P.E
I hope you’ve all been enjoying Joe Wicks’ P.E lessons (even I have been joining in at home – it’s super hard but I feel so much better after I’ve done it!). For anyone that hasn’t seen this yet, every morning at 9am ‘The Body Coach’ Joe Wicks live-streams a 30 minute P.E session for all children to participate in at home. Please take part in this every day by clicking onto his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1.
Maths
This week, I’d like you to take part in the White Rose Maths Week 1 online lessons. These are the Year 3 fractions lessons we would have been doing in school. You can find them here https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/
They give you a little video to watch and in the video they teach you how to solve fractions problems. Then you have an activity to complete at the end of each session. There are 5 sessions in total, it could be a good idea to do one session each day. If you can print off the activity sheets and stick them into your blue home learning book that would be great. Don’t worry if you can’t print it out, you can copy the questions neatly into your books.
Also, keep going on TT Rockstars (3 times per week at least, for approximately 20-30 minutes). You’ll be times table experts in no time!

Following this, this week we need to look at types of skeletons (exoskeletons, endoskeletons and hydrostatic skeletons). It sound’s tricky but if you read the information in the PowerPoint it’s really interesting!
