Last Week's Star Learners!
Monday
Maths
Today we are learning about perimeter. There is a great lesson here to recap what is perimeter, and in this lesson you will look at measuring perimeter. There are also activities and PowerPoints on Teams, for you to complete.
English
Today I’d like you to read from the beginning of the book, up to “…fought and argued noisily. All the time.”
Whilst you are reading, be thinking carefully about the characters of Rose and Jack. Afterwards, in Teams you will find your activities.
Topic (R.E.)
In R.E. today we will be thinking about Lent and how people give of themselves. Start by reading the story of this man, Andrew Parker (you will find it in Teams).
After you’ve read the story, answer these questions:
How do you feel about Andrew?
How did Andrew give himself for others?
Do you know anyone who gives themselves for others, perhaps in small but important ways? What do they do?
Why do you think people are brave and give themselves to others?
In today’s live lesson, you will talk about some Saints who gave of themselves. You will need to draw them and describe what they did.
Tuesday
Maths
We are continuing with perimeter, please check the slides in Teams, there there is a lesson here – which is very helpful.
Afterwards, you have some activities to complete in Teams.
English
Please read Slide 7 to Slide 15 looking at the descriptions of the Tunnel.
Writing
Use the senses sheet in Teams to describe the inside of the tunnel from the story.
Topic (Science)
What would happen if we didn’t have a skeleton? Invite children to share their ideas. • Go through the information on the slides explaining that without a skeleton we would be a mess of skin, muscle and organs on the floor! The skeleton supports the body and keeps everything in the right place. It also protects some of our internal organs. Can you think of any organs that are protected by our skeleton? Go through the answers on the slides (brain, lungs, heart, spinal cord). • Some animals do not have a skeleton inside their bodies. These animals are called invertebrates. Can you think of any invertebrates? How do they move and protect themselves? Children to think, pair, share their ideas. Go through the examples on the slides of a lobster, snail and worm. • Tell children that today they will be researching some different invertebrates to find out how they are supported and protected without a skeleton.
SEE TEAMS – Afternoon Tues 2nd March SLIDES and worksheets
ALSO: Design a science POSTER to explain how The Human skeleton supports and protects
Wednesday

Last Week's Star Learners!
Monday
Maths
Today we are going to look at and investigate square numbers.
A square number is a number multiplied by itself. This can also be called ‘a number squared‘. The symbol for squared is ². 2² = 2 x 2 = 4. 3² = 3 x 3 = 9. We will look at this together in our morning Teams lesson. Afterwards there is a great lesson here to watch, it will help you further, and then you have activities to complete in Teams.
English
For your SPAG work this week we are going to focus on using colons in lists. Click on this link, for today’s lesson, and complete screens 1 – 3.
Today’s reading questions are on Buzz Aldrin. The text and questions are both in the Reading file on Teams.
Writing
Today we are going to learn about another NASA employee called Mary Jackson. I will share more of our book with you in our Teams session. Schools were once segregated and Mary was unable to attend the school she needed because of the colour of her skin. In order to get permission to attend, she had to go to see a judge.
Today I would like you to write a formal letter as Mary. I want you to imagine that you are her and you are writing to the judge to argue your case for going to school.
Topic (Geography)
Today we are going to think about time periods and how in different places in the world, it could be day or night. I will share some learning slides with you in our morning Teams. Can you then complete the activity sheet?
Tuesday
Maths
Today we are going be looking at Cubed numbers.
A cube number is a number that is the product of three numbers which are the same. In other words, if you multiply a number by itself and then by itself again, the result is a cube number.
In our morning Teams, I will share our learning slides for today. The video here will then explain the slides further and may help you. Once you’ve finished the lesson, please complete today’s activity (in Teams).
English
In SPAG we are continuing with colons, click here and complete the screen 4 activity or see Teams.
Today’s reading questions are on Tim Peake. The text and questions are both in the Reading file on Teams.
Writing
Today’s activity is very similar to one from last week about Dorothy Vaughun. I would like you to complete the role in the wall activity today for Mary Jackson.
What do you think of the character?
When were the times in her life when she had to prove herself?
Think about her feelings at different times in the story, then her actions along with facts from the story.
Topic
We are going to think about day and night again. I will share some learning slides with you in our morning Teams.
Then can you complete the explanation activity on day and night.
THERE IS NO AFTERNOON TEAMS SESSION FOR CLASS 3 TODAY- MRS HOLLAND IS ON A TRAINING SESSION.
Wednesday
Maths
Today we are going to look at multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000. I will go through some examples with you and also share our learning slides in our morning Teams, after which you can do the lesson here. Finish with today’s learning sheets, which you will find in Teams.
English
Today’s reading questions are on Michael Collins. The text and questions are both in the Reading file on Teams.
Writing
I will continue reading some of our story to you in our Teams session Today.
I want you to think about the part of the story where Dorothy trains the women in her group to program the computers. Today, I would like you to write a diary entry as one of the women who joined Dorothy that day. Think about their thoughts and feelings.
Topic
Hopefully the weather will be nice for today’s activity, and we will have some sunshine.
Start by watching the clip here.
Choose a sunny spot in an outdoor area that is not shady and is free of shadows.
Choose a tall object that will stand up by itself, such as a brick or bottle of sand, or push a thick stick or pole into the ground. Whatever you use, the object needs to be stable and cast a measurable shadow.
Mark the shadow that is created by the tall object or stick, placing a small stone at the shadow’s tip or making a chalk mark. Write the time on the stone or next to the chalk mark.
Repeat this activity throughout the day.
Describe what is happening to the shadows over time. Why do you think the shadows are changing?
Thursday
I have added a selection of ideas for World Book Day in a Teams file called, ‘World Book Day 2021’
You can choose which activities to do- please remember to send me photos of your work!
I will also share with you our ‘Masked Reader’ competition this week. I will explain more in an afternoon Teams session but here is an overview:
You will need to:
Choose your favourite book.
Select a page or short chapter to read out loud.
Create a disguise- you can do this with masks or fancy dress you already have, or by using an app such as:
iFunface
Chatterbox
Clips
Chatterpix kids
(PLEASE DO NOT PAY FOR ANY APPS! JUST BE VERY CAREFUL OF IN-APP PURCHASES).
Once you have recorded it, please send the video to me (use the Contact button at the top of this page). You have until the end of the day Thursday to send these to me.
You will then have the opportunity to guess who is the Masked Reader! There will be a prize for the winner, when we are back in school.
Friday
Today I would like you to try and celebrate your home learning achievements by having an afternoon tea with someone or all of your family. You could bake a cake or some biscuits, you could buy one or just enjoy some treats that you already have in your cupboards at home. You could have some nice sandwiches and eat inside or outside (depending on the weather!)
Make a cup of tea (with an adult due to the boiling water) or a hot chocolate and sit and relax. Spend some time with your loved ones talking about what you’ve enjoyed about being at home, what you think about coming back, any worries you have and something that you’re proud of.
I am very proud of all of Class 3!
There are lots of other ideas on your sheet to fill the end of today.
