Year 3 Home Learning Activities – WB 20.04.2020
This half term, our Year 3 project is exploring Rainforests.
This week’s focus is: Locating Rainforests, Weather and Climate
Project:
Research questions - using Kiddle or an atlas if you have one – find the following information:
What rainforests are there in the world? Where are they located on a world map? Is there a pattern? What is the Equator and where is it located on a world map? Where are the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn located on a world map? What do you notice about these and the location of rainforests?
Task: Draw / trace an outline of the world map. Draw and label the Equator, Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and colour and label the rainforests you have found.
What is the difference between weather and climate? What is the typical climate of rainforests? What would the weather be like?
Task: Choose a rainforest to research, present your information and produce your own weather report. You could write your script, draw your weather forecast map and film your report. Watch weather reports on TV for some ideas.

This work can be written down if being done independently or verbally explained to an adult / older sibling.

In the second sentence, why have the authors used commas?
Why do ‘boy’s’, Kamanaya’s and ‘shaman’s’ need an apostrophe?

How did the shaman save his life?

Questions:
What feeling do you get from what you have read – is this a happy place to live or not?
What words and phrases make you think this?
What questions do you have to develop your understanding of the text?
Task: Look at the picture on page 3.
Write a paragraph to describe what you think village life is like. Describe the houses, the leisure activities of the children, where their food comes from, what clothes people wear, and what they do when someone is ill. Use as much detail as possible, and remember to rehearse your sentences carefully before writing them.

Task: Make a prediction. What do you think is going to happen next and explain why?
Don’t forget to keep practising the spellings from the Year 3/4 list we sent home. Ask Mum, Dad, older siblings or even Granny over Facetime to give you a test! Also, keep reading! There’s lots of books allocated on Bug Club, which you have a login to in your home school diaries, and any other books you’ve got at home.
Maths:
We’d like you to use the White Rose Maths - Home Learning – and complete Week 1. It’s the first week of Fractions. We haven’t covered fractions yet in Year 3, so ask for help from a parent or older sibling if you need to.
Here’s the link to follow:

There’ll also be activities allocated on Purple Mash too. Don’t forget to keep practising your times tables on TT Rockstars!
You’ll also find computing, RE and PSHE activities allocated on Purple Mash and there’s lots of other games on there that you can choose to play.
Have a wonderful week our lovely Year Threes! Try to keep up with as much of the activities as you can as next week’s activities will follow on from these.
It’s really important to us that you are happy and having lots of fun, both with school activities and other things you’re enjoying at home, like spending time with your family. Don’t forget to share with us on our Year 3 blog on Purple Mash or on the Kingsway Facebook group.
We miss you Nightingales and Bramblings!
Stay home, stay safe.
Mrs Dallison & Mr Chantry
