Year 3

Dear Parent/Carer

With all the concerns over the coronavirus outbreak and how this might impact children’s learning, we wanted to offer you some ideas to help you continue their education during any potential school closures or absences resulting from self-isolation.  

We recognise how difficult it can be to keep children engaged in their learning whilst at home so we have prepared some activities and games which are well-matched to the Year 3 expectations.  These can be completed independently (in most cases) or with adult support.  

Further suggestions and updates will be shared regularly should the need for an extended period of absence/closure be necessary.  Thank you for your support.

The Year 3 Team

 

Dear Year 3 students,

Here are some games, activities and ideas to keep those brains and skills sharp whilst you are unable to be at school.  We look forward to hearing how you've been getting on with them.

Look after yourselves.

Exciting Project on the Victorians!

Please read the following suggestions and tasks that it would be great for you to do in preparation for our Victorian topic later in the year.

• Either using books or the internet (or family members!), create a fact sheet about Queen Victoria.
• Read “A Chimney Sweep’s Day” (Into the Dark)” on Bug Club and find any other information you can about chimney sweeps. Then create a diary entry in the role of the chimney sweep. E.g. You have returned home after an awful day at work, describe how you are feeling about your day in your diary.
• Read “Poor Victorians (The Pickpocket)” on Bug Club and then create your own information page with the facts you’ve learnt about the Victorians. This can include pictures.
• Create some Art- either a drawing or painting- of any artefacts, Victorian buildings or Queen Victoria herself! It could be a very detailed sketch of Queen Victoria’s crown.
• Create an Industrial Landscape based on the artist, Lowry. You could use sketching, painting, collage or printing.
• The Victorian’s invented many things including the Steam Engine and Bicycles. You may wish to create some Art based on these inventions.
