Hope you have all had a lovely Easter break and are staying safe and well. Below is your home learning for the next week- enjoy!

Writing activity
Below is a link to a Viking village video- one where Boudicca herself may have lived all those years ago. Your writing task could be to-
•Describe the village using senses. (We have practiced this a lot)
•Create a commentary for the fly through.
•Choose a building and decide who lives there. Describe that character in detail.
•Create a map of the village and add still images from the film to illustrate.
You can do more than one if you wish.

Spelling
This week we will be revising suffixes. Remember suffixes come at the end of a root word. So far in year 3 we have learnt- ‘ed’ ‘ing’ ‘s’ ‘es’ ‘ness’ ‘ful’ ‘less’ ‘ly’
How many different suffixes could be accurately added to these words-
Plan smile rub phone stop use bake
Which word could have the most suffixes added to it?
Can you now place these words in to different sentences- thinking about the tense of these sentences.
Maths
Complete these trial and error number questions- once completed the answers are on the next page to check if you were correct. If you’re struggling to count without any maths tools you could use resources from home like Lego bricks or your dolls shoes or teddies! Use the support section if you’re finding it tricky on the sheet. If you’ve completed the main task then complete the extension.

Topic
Investigate the food groups and then create your own Healthy Eating plate. Split the plate into sections and draw and label the types of food that you could find in each section. Take a photograph of a family meal that you have shared. Can you make your portion match the recommended amount of vegetables, protein and carbohydrate?

Questions to ask children:
When tablet is put in glass of water: What do you think is in the bubbles?
Where do you think the bubbles are coming from?
What do you think would happen if we used more than one tablet? Why?
What do you think would happen if we used warm water? Why?
Before making rocket:
What do you think will happen if we put some tablets and water in this bottle and close the lid? Why?
What things could we change to make the rocket go higher?
Going further:
Experiment with different sizes of bottle and different combinations of water and tablets to find out what combination gives you the highest flying rocket.
Does it matter how many tablets you use?
What about if you break the tablets into smaller pieces?
How does the temperature of the water affect things?

It could be a drawing of yourself as a baby, a baby animal made out of kitchen roll tubes, a photograph of a tree with buds, an Andy Goldsworthy inspired piece of art made out of natural things in your garden or when you have been on a walk. Impress me with your creativity!
