Thursday 2nd April, English and Art learning
Good morning all! It was great fun seeing some of you posting your photos in your school uniforms, we tricked you with an April Fool’s joke. Sorry!
Today I’d like you to answer the questions about today’s Pobble365 picture. Then have a go at the Sentence Challenge. (I think there is something wrong with the story starter as it doesn’t match the picture so just ignore that).
Mrs Foster has sent in a lovely Art challenge based on Picasso’s drawings. See if you can have a go and post your drawings.
Web link:
http://www.pablopicasso.net/penguin/
The artist Picasso always liked a trick. One of them was to draw simple pictures using a continuous line.
Check out the web link to see his ‘penguin’.
You can practise doing these yourself. The results are often weird and wacky, and sometimes hilarious.
Using a black marker pen, practice drawing anything you like: a flower, your pet, your mum, yourself…
It only takes a few minutes to do each one. How many can you do in one sitting?
Remember, no cheating! Don’t take your pen off the page until your drawing is complete. And no rubbing out – any ‘mistakes’ or double lines, squiggles and loops will make your work even more interesting.
You can experiment by using markers of different thicknesses. You can also draw to music. also
Have fun!
Then take a photo of your best drawing and post it back to your page. We shall make an online gallery!
P S How good is your visual memory? Mrs Foster has been practising this blindfold !
Wednesday 1st April Year 3 Maths Learning
Good Morning families and superstar learners!
Based on the perimeter learning that was posted yesterday, you have shown to really understand what a perimeter is and how to find it so well done from me!
So, lets have fun today! Using the link below, create and explore shapes and their perimeter on this topmarks game. Eventually, create an image of a stone-age cave and share its perimeter.
Don’t forget to wear your school uniform, School Rules!
Wednesday 1st April Year 3 English & Science Learning
Good Morning all !
Today I have a special message from Ms Davies and Ms Harris. They want to make sure you are wearing your school uniforms when you do your school work. It is NOT allowed to be doing any learning in pyjamas so we need to check you are getting dressed for school every day. Please post a photo of yourself wearing it by 12pm today.
Now let’s get on with today’s learning. Do the Pobble365 questions all about Animal Town.
After that we are going to do some Science. We are going to find out all about SOIL and what it is made of. There are some links to follow: the first link is the longest and most detailed:
The 2nd is shorter but the teacher speaks very quickly!
and the last is very easy to watch and has an activity to do afterwards:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9bbkqt/articles/ztvbk2p
When you have watched all or some of the clips, see if you can answer these questions and publish them in j2e5.
- What is soil made from?
- How many different types of soil are there and what makes them different?
- Why do we need soil?
- CHALLENGE: What do worms do that is important for soil?
Hope you enjoy this task!

Good Morning everybody and Happy Tuesday!
So we all now know what a perimeter is and how to measure the perimeter of a shape. If you don’t catch up watching this video at the end of this post… Today I would like you to work through this ‘perimeter check list’.
If you do not have a ruler, then use an object you know its length or use an object and then create a unit of measure for it. e.g a book; the perimeter of the table was 21 book .
Perimeter Checklist
- Draw 6 polygon shapes and measure their perimeter.
- Make up and draw your own shape, then measure its perimeter.
- Measure the perimeter of your table.
- Measure the perimeter of your room.
- Measure the perimeter of your favourite thing.
- Measure the perimeter of the book you are reading.
- Draw an outline of your feet, then measure its perimeter. How did you decide to do it?
- Measure the perimeter of ………. (Surprise us)
Record your findings to a post, add pictures and videos if you can and send in your post by 3pm today. Get investigating and good luck!
Year 3 English Learning Tuesday 31st March
Morning everyone!
I hope you got a chance to see my dog, Doug’s message to you all. (It’s underneath this post if you missed it yesterday.)
This morning I want you to use Pobble 365 but you do NOT have to extend the story or do anything imaginative at all apart from have a go at the questions.
Today I would like you to write another factfile, this time about bees. Try and use sub-headings to put your facts into groups. If you can copy and paste some images off the internet as well, even better.
If you want to, later in the day you could invent a game with a bee theme and play it. You could find a recipe that uses honey and write it out, or even cook it! Maybe you can make up a rhyming poem about bees, or make a bee picture or model using junk.
Challenge: Explain what these sayings mean:
‘The bees knees’
You’ve got a bee in your bonnet.
‘Make a bee line’
Have fun and make sure you are a busy bee!
Year 3 English learning Monday 30th March
Good Morning Everyone!
I hope you had a relaxing weekend with your family and are ready to do some learning this week. Just like last week, we are going to use Pobble365 to ‘read’ pictures, answer some questions, using our Destination Reader skills, practise some grammar and write some stories. Also we shall make another factfile this week.
Today’s picture is called RUMPLESTILTSKIN. Answer the questions using full sentences and post them using J2e5.
Later today, I want you to practise your ICT skills as we usually have ICT on Mondays.
Click on the JIT button and have an explore of the resources. You could design a picture and upload it, using all the tools there. You could make a bar chart or a graph. Just have a go.
It would also be lovely to hear your voices, I have been starting to leave an audio message to some of you. I will leave some more today, if you can, send one back.
Have fun!
from Ms Heath
Year 3 Maths Learning Monday 30th March
Good morning parents and children, I hope you’re all excited for another week of online learning. Five more school days until the Easter holidays so let’s make them all count.
I will be setting the maths task daily this week and at times, it may not be Mathletics so it will be important to make sure you log on to J2ewebby to ensure you’re up to date with instructions and directions for your learning.
Year 3 were mid-way through learning ‘length’ so we will be continuing that this week.
Firstly, log on to Expresso Discovery and watch an introduction video to perimeter. There are also some activities/games you can play which can help solidify your understanding.
Username – student21056
Password- malorees
Next, log on to Mathletics and complete the tasks and test set on length and perimeter. The Mathletics homework will be live till 6pm.
Good luck and enjoy!

Year 3 English and Art learning Friday 27th March
Good Morning and a huge well done to all those who have logged in every day to find out about Year 3 learning. A big well done to the parents too.
Today I want you to answer the questions on the Pobble365 picture about Superman.
You will have to use your imagination, and don’t forget to answer the questions in full sentences please.
Ms Foster has sent me a lovely Art activity you could do, connected to the Stone Age. It will probably take you quite a long time, so we can call it homework. If you don’t have all the materials you need, don’t worry, improvise with things that were going to be thrown away, cardboard packaging etc
Here are the instructions:
Make a Stone Age Cave in a shoebox
1. Paint the outside of the box a stone colour (greys and browns). You can stick tufts of grass here and there.
2. Crumple up some brown paper and glue it to the inside of the box for a 3D effect. Add a tiny cave painting. Or use chalks or charcoal to make marks on the walls.
3. Spread glue on the ‘ground’ and sprinkle with leaves, grass, a few twigs, sand and, of course, stones; even a few animal bones!
4. Put a paper cone tent outside. Cover it with fabric and paint it an earthy colour.
5. Add a bonfire with sticks, and coloured ‘flames’.
6. Make tiny tools (spear, handaxe, club, dagger) out of cardboard or attach little stones to sticks with glue, string, wool or thread.
7. make a cooking pot out of plasticene, and fill it with ‘food’
8. Construct ladders or drying racks from cocktail or lollipop sticks. Hang little foil fish from them.
9. Make dolly peg or cardboard stone age people and dress them up (furry fabric animal skins, woolly hair).
10. Make a woolly mammoth – or a stampeding herd of them!
Print out a photo of your model cave and label everything in it.
Then write a paragraph describing the materials you used and how you made it.
Over the weekend I hope you will be doing lots of reading for pleasure and keep up the exercises! Remember your parents can message us on Class dojo if they need advice.
Good luck!
