Year 3 Home Learning Activities

Welcome to your Week 3 suggested time table.

On your timetable you will see a morning starter activity called ‘Warm up to learning’,

followed by a daily English lesson and a daily Maths lesson.

The daily Maths lessons are separate files and you will find these on the Year 3 Class Page.

On a separate page you will find ‘Topic Planning’ which includes lots of super activities for you to

choose from all with an Africa theme.

There are also five short additional activities (one for each day) which you could do in any order at the

start of a lesson. These include a two Maths activities with links to games about time, two short SPAG

tasks and a wellbeing activity.

I hope you enjoy these activities and lessons. Can’t wait to see your photos.

Year 3 Topic Planning Choose an activity each day

T-shirt Printing Art

The art of printing on clothing can be traced back to its roots in Africa, specifically to the region of Benin. They used Adinkra symbols that were designed to represent things such

as love, peace, happiness, health, etc.

See if you can get a plain t-shirt and make your own prints on it. We suggest you try

and use fabric paint so that your symbols do not disappear in the wash.

African Drumming Music

The djembe drum is said to have been invented

in the 12th Century by the Mandinke tribe in what is now Mali, in West Africa. It has been

played by West Africans for generations. Invent, develop and perform your own African rhythms. You might decide to make your own drum or practise your rhythms on a saucepan,

table or suitable surface.

Flags

Culture/Geography Each African country has its own flag of meaningful colours: green symbolises

growing things, yellow symbolises the sun, red the blood of the people, blue the sea,

white peace, and black the people or African freedom. Make your own flag

thinking about which colours that you have used signify to them. You could do this as a

collage, iPad drawing or painting.

Fables English/Drama

Fables are children’s stories that contain morals or lessons for the reader. They also often contain characters that are animals

with human characteristics. Think of stories such as the Tortoise and the Hare for

example. Can you write or even act out your own fable? What lesson would you like to give off? Perhaps look up some famous

fables first and read them to give you some ideas.

Country Fact File

Geography Did you know there are over 50 different

countries on the continent of Africa? Can you choose one to make a fact file about? Learn

about the country’s flag, population, landscape, animals and landmarks. We are

sure you will find something amazing whichever country you choose!

Food Chain and Habitats Science

Explore the African Savannah and find out how the animals and plants are connected in

different food chains.

Nelson Mandela History

Nelson Mandela has had a huge impact on

African history. Can you research all about

him and find out what amazing things he

did? Perhaps create a poster all about him

or simply tell an adult at home what you

have found out.

African Patterns

Art African clothing, bedding and fabrics are

often hugely colourful and display beautiful patterns.

Can you create your own colourful African

pattern to display somewhere in your home?

“Hello!” Languages

The most spoken language in Africa is Swahili. There are thought to be over 300 different languages being used across the

whole continent. Can you learn how to greet someone in lots of different Africa languages.

Here is one to get started... “Sawubona!”

African Dance

PE/Dance In Africa, as in other parts of the world,

ceremonial dance tells a story. More than mere entertainment, it recounts history, conveys

emotion, celebrates rites of passage, and helps to unify communities. There are many forms of

African dance which combine rhythmic body movements with music. Can you create your own African dance? Your dance could tell a

story, show your emotions or beliefs or

Religion RE

What are the main religions in Africa? Choose one or more religions to find out

about. Some ideas for research: · Religion · Followers · Place of worship · Holy book ·

Special people · Beliefs · Festivals/celebrations/ceremonies ·

Pilgrimage Present your findings in any way you choose. You could make a fact

file, compare religions using a Venn diagram or even design your own quiz.

Geographical Wonders Geography

Africa contains some of the World’s most amazing geographical features. Can you choose one and learn all about it. What

makes it so special?

Sahara Desert

River Nile

Mount Kilimanjaro

Congo River

Victoria Waterfalls

Ituri Rainforest

Week 3. Maths Activity1

Telling the time

Follow the link below to help you practice using a clock and

reading the time.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/time/teaching-clock

This teaching resource helps children explore telling the time in both analogue and digital formats.

The digital clocks can be viewed in either the 12-hour or 24-hour format. Each of the three clocks can be set to show the current time, or any given am or pm time. Children can use it to read or set various times such as an hour earlier or later. Use it to quiz each other to find the time.

https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/116/telling-the-time

Play the game and choose

the right time shown on the clock.

https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/118/adding-time-word-problems

celebrate something special. You could record your dance too; we would love to see it.

Week: 15th June 2020

Read the time on either an analogue or digital clock and then answer a word problem

involving adding a given time. There’s lots of choice of level, including: adding 1 hour,

multiples of 5, or 10 minutes or adding multiples of a quarter of an hour.
