Succeeding on the Journey through Lifelong Learning
Year 3
Welcome
Hello Year 3,
Welcome to our new Home Learning page where you will find your learning whilst school is closed.
We have organised each task into hot, spicy and extra spicy. Have a go at choosing the option that you think will be best for you. If you are not sure which option is right for you then first try spicy. If spicy is too challenging then you can try hot or if spicy is too easy then try extra spicy. You only need to do one of the hot, spicy or extra spicy options.
What age can my child start social networking?
As a parent it’s important you know that all social networking platforms (or social networking apps, if on a smartphone) have age limits. Some social networks use technologies that might not be right for some ages, or engage with communities that are made up of people much older than your child.

Daily Message: Friday 5th June 2020
Hello Year 3,
Thank you to everyone that has already shared their final draft poems and kind ideas. It’s great to see all the lovely work you’ve been doing at home. If you haven’t already and would like to send yours to year3@sirjohnlillie.lbhf.sch.uk.
Today, we have three new challenges for you. In Maths, you will be using the addition and subtraction skills you’ve been practicing throughout the week to answer word problems all about money. In Art and Design you’ll be learning about another artist, his name is Keith Haring and you will be creating a drawing inspired by his work by playing a special drawing game. Maybe you could play the game with someone at home! We’d love to see what you’re drawings look like. You can see Miss Brook’s attempt on the art task pdf. And finally you will be completing one last poetry challenge as part of Poetry Week, both learning a poem by heart and writing a poem about your experiences over the last few weeks.
If you would like to learn more about poetry and read, listen and watch more poems. We’ve also put some useful links on the page for you to continue immersing yourselves in poetry beyond Poetry Week.
Today is the last day of Poetry Week! To celebrate the week we have create a new Poetry section down below. In the section, you will find recommendations for different websites where you can find lots of different types of poems to read, listen to and watch. You will also find some videos of some poems we enjoyed at school and some new ones you might want to explore. Finally, all of the Poem of the Day poems from the week are there too. We hope you enjoy reading and listening to them all!
Love Miss Brook and Miss Jarmson

Kindness

Every drop of kindness
That you give away,
Returns to you to bless your life one day!

Kindness
By Kate Buxbaum-Prado
Kindness planted in the soil,
Of another with a need...
Will one day blossom back to you,
A product of this spirit seed!

Others
By Unknown
It doesn't matter who you are,
Or what you have, or do
If you give your very best
The best returns to you.
A law of compensation works,
We get just what we earn.
If we love others with our hearts,
We get love in return.
The little things we sometimes do
For others day by day
Return quite unexpectedly
In some peculiar way.

In Kindness
By Anne Marie Cline
Kindness speaks the words,
Your heart could never speak.
Your wings hold me up,
And give me strength when I am weak.
The warmth of your protection,
Brings music to my heart.
You open up the doors,
You show me where to start.

The Little Things
By Margaret Lindsey
The little things are most worthwhile
A quiet word, a look, a smile,
A listening ear that's quick to share
Another's thoughts, another's care...
Though sometimes they may seem quite small,
These little things mean most of all.
Week 8 (01.06.2020-05.06.2020)
The Boy Who Grew Dragons - Year 3 Shared Reading Suggestion
The Boy Who Grew Dragons by Andy Shepherd
A suggestions for some reading that Year 3 can share just like we would at the end of the day when we were at school. The author of this book, Andy Shepherd has read the whole book aloud and posted the videos to Youtube. That means Year 3 can do some shared reading together and share this book even while we are not at school. Isn't that special?
You can listen to this book during half term, after half term as part of your home learning or whenever you have time. I won't give away any spoilers in my book review so you can fit the book in whatever way works for you! You can listen to the book in big chunks or chapter by chapter. Each chapter lasts about 5-10 minutes so perhaps you could listen to one chapter a day. Whatever works for you!
Follow this link to listen to the book:

This week, I have added my weekly video message early (on Friday) because it's half term next week so we won't be doing any home learning challenges. Don't worry, we'll be back with our home learning as usual on June 1st. For you keen beans, I'll be making a bonus video to read a quick extract of the book on Monday (25.06.2020) so there will still be a Monday message as usual.

Science Plant Investigation
Miss Jarmson has taken home the plants from our science investigation so we can continue to investigate how much water our pea plants need. Miss Jarmson will post a picture every few days for you to observe from home. Use your observation skills to check if your predictions were correct! Can you tell someone what you have observed?
Aim: To investigate how much water pea plants need
Method
1. Add 0 ml of water to Plant 1 each day.
2. Add 25 ml of water (moderate amount) to Plant 2 each day.
3. Add 100 ml of water (large amount) to Plant 3 each day.
4. Wait, observe the results and measure the plant growth with a ruler each day.
Final results - 21.04.2020 - Day 41
Which plant has grown most effectively (the best)? Why do you think this is?
Why has plant 1 not grown at all?
What has happened to plant 3? Why do you think this is?
Day 35- 15/04/2020
01/04/2020 - 21 days after planting
How tall are the plants now? Which plant is thriving?
26/03/2020 – 15 days after planting

Daily Diary Project
The 2020 coronavirus outbreak is a very big historical event so one thing we suggest that you can do during this time is to write a daily diary. This can help you to notice how you are feeling. Perhaps, it is also something you might want to look back on when you are older. Why not try writing a few sentences every day? You can write as much or as little as you want. If you are not sure what to write then you can explain what you did today, write how you are feeling and write something positive to help keep your spirits up. Remember to add the date each day!
Miss Jarmson has added an example of her day yesterday to give you an idea.
Science
This Live Lesson will help your child to think and work like a scientist, with a focus on taste, nutrition, and the energy that food provides.

Drawing Lessons
We’ve found some really fun videos by Ed Vere that teach you how some of his amazing characters. He’ll be uploading new videos every Wednesday and Friday at 10am, whilst schools schools are closed due to Coronavirus. So far his has two videos teaching you how to draw Leonard the Lion and Mr Big the Gorilla. Miss Brook had a go at drawing them (have a look below). Why don’t you have a go?
