Friday 12th June

Hello Year Three, we hope you are all well?

We won’t be posting any more baking photos or photos of Odi the dog, as we are all back in school teaching full time! Mrs Atkins and Miss Shaw are teaching pods of 15 in year R and Mrs Pike is teaching a key worker children pod. But we are enjoying hearing about all of your adventures on our phonecalls.

Here is your home learning for this week, we hope you are enjoying your new topic China-

Topic:  The Great Wall of China.

  1. Take a virtual walk along the Great Wall of China.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly32xBm7CE8

  1. Can you create poster about The Great Wall of China? You can include any information but these questions may be a helpful starting point and there’s a website that may be useful too.
  • Who built it and when?
  • Why was it built?
  • The size of the wall – height and length?

Part 1:

Discuss what you think might have happened at our school. Use the hand template to think of key questions you would need to investigate in order to be able to report on this strange event? Why don’t you draw round your own hand to present your work?

 

Part 2:

The staff attended a meeting in school this week to find out some more information – we have made some notes for you. Can these help with your investigation? Do the notes answer any of your key questions? What other information about the dragon and the event can you deduce from our notes.

INTERVIEW notes

Guided reading: Newspapers

Activity 1: Match the feature of a newspaper to the purpose. You can cut and stick using the attached activity or use this as a guide to present your work how you wish. Can you label a newspaper or find examples of each feature?

Guided reading features of a newspaper

Activity 2: One of the features was ‘facts’. What is the difference between a fact and an opinion? Discuss with people at home / research and record your findings.

Activity 3: Complete the fact or opinion activity. Fact or opinion task 3

Spelling

Below is a table of all the different graphemes for the long vowel /ee/. Can you add different words containing this phoneme to the correct column?

Science

It’s time for another hunt around your house! This time we want you to take a magnet with you – just an ordinary fridge magnet will do. Make a list of objects which are magnetic (attracted by the magnet) and are not magnetic (are not attracted by the magnet) and put them into a table like this…

Magnetic Not Magnetic
 

 

 

Look for patterns or clues in your observations. What do the magnetic items have in common? As an extra challenge, research what makes something magnetic to see if your observations are correct.

 

Music from Mrs Sumba

Antonio Vivaldi

Go to the website below and watch Stephanie Childress’ video about Antonio Vivaldi.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/classical-music-antonio-vivaldi-winter-from-the-four-seasons/zf98bdm

Why was Antonio considered a musical trailblazer?

Now close your eyes and listen to the whole piece on the 2nd video.

What pictures come into your head?

Find a creative way to respond to the music. This could be by dancing, drawing, painting or writing a poem. You may have your own idea.

Challenge

Why not listen to another piece from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons- Spring, Autumn or Summer?

 

Science from Miss Stapley

**Please note that this activity must be carried out in the presence of an adult to ensure safety**

Safety advice for parents

  • Do the activity on a table which is cleared of any other flammable objects or materials. Use your judgement as a parent to decide whether or not to let your child light the candles on their own.
  • Make sure you’ve blown out any candles after doing the activity. Don’t move a lit candle when doing this activity. Don’t allow your child to touch the wick or candle until it has completely cooled.
  • Don’t leave a lit candle unattended at any time. There’s more extensive safety advice on using candles from the UK Fire Service here: http://bit.ly/BeFireSafe

The activity

  • Make a blown out candle relight as if by magic.
  • Experiment to find out how long a candle will burn in different amounts of air.
  • Learn about the chemistry of how a candle burns. https://www.rigb.org/families/experimental/candle-chemistry

What you will need

  • At least one tea light or other small candle.
  • Gas-powered cooker lighter (or long handled matches).
  • Glass jars or glasses of various sizes.
  • Stopwatch (maybe the one on your smartphone) or other way of measuring time.

What to do https://www.rigb.org/docs/candlechemistry_infosheet_0_1.pdf  – for information sheet about the activity.

Going Further Challenge: Learn more facts about fire: http://bit.ly/FireFacts  Make a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher for your candles: http://bit.ly/CO2Ext  Watch a video on how candles are made: http://bit.ly/CandlesMade  Use a candle to suck water into a glass like Josh does at the end of the film: http://bit.ly/WaterCandle

 

RE learning from Miss Honeywell

Following the celebration of Pentecost in our Church calendar, we would like you continue to reflect upon our Mission and how we can ‘use the gifts God gave us to make our world a better place’.

Just as the Holy Spirit had appeared to the Apostles of Jesus and gave them hope while they were in Jerusalem, we would like you to consider how YOU can use the power of the Holy Spirit to support and encourage others.

Can you complete ONE of the following activities, to explore how we can continue God’s work on Earth as His followers?

– Design a logo for a charity that you feel could be made in order to support others. You can be as creative as you like! Can you include symbols of the Holy Spirit?

– Research one of the following organisations: CAFOD, Christian Aid, Missio. What is special about this charity? How do they put the needs of others first?

– Create a new school Mission Statement for St. Peters – what else can we do to help others in our community and the wider world? Which actions do you feel would be most important?

– Paint a picture of Oscar Romero. How did he follow the values set out by our school Mission Statement? Can you include key facts about his work?

– Write a letter to your local priest. Could you suggest any ways in which you could support the Church in raising money for good causes, in the future? E.g. by helping in a bake sale or coffee morning, once it is safe to do so.

 

Art Challenge from Mrs Pearson

Key Stage Two for your art challenge this week I would like you to do a piece of Artwork linked to a poem or book. This could be a collage picture from Owl and the Pussycat, or a STREETART word from a war poem. You may even design a new front cover for your favourite book. Let your fantastic imaginations go wild! WOW! CHALLENGE: Read the poem or part of the book aloud to your family, using expression.

Ideas to inspire you:

However, if this doesn’t appeal to you, then you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.

Please email your artwork to me:

Have a lovely week and stay safe Happy Hippos and Lovely Lions!

Happy half term!

Half term is here! And what a strange term it has been, one we will remember forever. Well done for all of your hard work this term, we have enjoyed your emails of work. We think you all deserve a rest this half term so we will not be setting any formal homelearning. Please keep up with your reading for pleasure though – especially in the garden in this lovely weather! We will ensure my maths, sumdog and times tables rock stars are updated with work if you would like to do any maths too.

Stay safe and well Happy Hippos and Lovely Lions.

We can’t begin to explain how much we miss you and we wish you were back with us, always thinking of you,

Miss Shaw, Mrs Atkins and Mrs Pike

Fantastic work

Have a read of Jack’s fantastic story he has created over the weekend- I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.

Well done Jack

Home learning 1st May

Happy first of May Happy Hippos and lovely Lions!

We have been very busy this week. Miss Shaw has been enjoying some lovely walks in the sunshine (before the horrible rain appeared) and went to a virtual baby shower! Maybe some of you remember Miss Whitehead? Well she is Mrs Rowley now and she is having a baby girl this month!

  

Mrs Atkins has continued to look after her garden before the rain decided to make an appearance! And is now trying to keep her two children occupied when being stuck inside (I’m sure everyone reading this can relate!)

This week it was Mrs Pike’s turn to give hairdressing a go… despite sharp scissors and a 17 month old that doesn’t stay still being a dangerous combination, Ollie looks quite good but its probably best that Mr Pike is in lock down for a while longer!

Here is your home learning for this week, we hope you enjoy it:

Topic: 

We hoped you loved the video of Mrs Pike’s farm last week! Imogen loved creating it for you. Now for your topic this week we were hoping you were inspired enough to create your own farm! This could be out of junk modelling, sketching on paper, designing on a computer, making it out of Lego- however you want to! Think of all the important parts a farm needs to function- look back at Mrs Pikes video and see what you need to include.

As an extra challenge you can film your own farm tour video of the farm you have created.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dtJEoNiC2A

 

Guided reading:

Below is a link to a variety of recipes-

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/category/family-kids

What do you need to make a ‘good’ recipe?

Rate which recipes were easier to follow/ read and why that was.

What must be included in a recipe?

Have you got a recipe at home you could follow and make something? Or use a recipe from the link.

 

English:

Below is a video on how to write a clear set of instructions.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/how-to-write-clear-instructions/zrvtscw

Here are some examples of instructions – some are funny and silly- https://www.literacywagoll.com/instructions.html

Can you create your own fun instructions?

For example how to make magic slime or unicorn food or how to wash an elephant.

Have fun- we can’t wait to see what you write about!

 

Maths

Using containers at home explore if this question is true or false.            

 

Now try these-

              

Capacity challenge- if you have completed the above tasks and want to, here is a challenge for you to try!

https://nrich.maths.org/5979 

 

Science:

Attached are two PowerPoint’s. One of the PowerPoint’s explains in detail the difference between different types of food for example carbohydrates, protein etc.

Using this you can either plan your own menu for a three course healthy meal including a variety of food types

Or

we know you have drawn out a healthy plate but can you now make a fake healthy main meal, you could use play dough, Lego, junk modelling etc. There are some examples on the second PowerPoint.

Science from Miss Stapley 

Other things to try – gently lay plain white paper on the surface and make a print of your colour swirls.

Other things to try – the shaving foam and sprinkles experiment. Squirt shaving foam onto a tray. Add coloured sprinkles over the top and watch how the colours mix as the sprinkles dissolve into the foam.

Further science experiments found at www.sciencemuseum.org.uk

Have fun!!

 

Art from Mrs Pearson:

Portsmouth Naval Base is looking to mark the occasion of VE day and need YOUR HELP!  They have asked for you to draw pictures on the subject of WW2 & VE DAY and as an extra challenge try to incorporate a rainbow somewhere in the picture (even in the corner).  The pictures will be displayed within the Naval Base and once the day is over they hope to make contact with local nursing homes to distribute the pictures to help cheer our elderly community. If you would like your work sent to the naval base you will have to email it to me by Monday evening.  However, all work sent to me, even after Monday, will still be displayed, as usual, on the Art Blog.

In addition to the drawings for the Naval Base,  I  would appreciated any art and craft linked to this important historic  occasion , such as

bunting, chalk drawings,  figures of soldiers, planes or medals. I know, as always, you will blow me away with your imaginative ideas and creativity.

Please email your artwork to me:

History VE day home learning from Mrs Conlon

Friday 8th May is VE day celebrations so please take part in this home learning to engage with what the soldiers may have felt at this time.

Activity 1

Watch this video to learn about what VE day celebration means:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks2-ve-day/z7xtmfr

Read the extracts VE DAY and Belsen, VE Day in Germany and VE Day, As Seen from a Field near Venice.

Extracts to read

Then-

  • Highlight in red the words and phrases that indicate happiness.
  • Highlight in blue the words and phrases that indicate relief.
  • Highlight in green the words and phrases that indicate sadness.

Activity 2

After reading the extracts and doing any other research using online resources about VE day, imagine you are soldiers being interviewed by the BBC news correspondent on VE Day. You need to portray how the soldiers felt about the end of the war and what they felt their role was in order to help prepare for peace. You will need to be reminded that they will need to consider the impact that fighting during the war would have had on these men.

If possible, record yourself speaking about your recount and email Mrs Conlon the video link to put it onto the school curriculum blog via her class email address:

starfishclass@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk

If you would like to write a newspaper article instead of an interview then please do so and email me a photo of your work to add to the blog.

Have lots of fun learning all about this special celebration.

I am looking forward to seeing your great history learning.

Best regards

Mrs Conlon

(History lead teacher)

Thank you

We just wanted to say thank you for all of the hard work you are putting in Year Three. We have loved seeing everything you have been up to through email and hearing what you have been up to over the phone! It’s really important Year Three to keep up with the work and keep your mind busy. We expect you to have a lot more breaks then you do at school and that is fine! It’s a lot harder working from home (we’re struggling too!) so do what works best for you. We want you to learn new things too- from our phone calls children have learnt how to do different jobs around the house such as the dishwasher and cleaning the car. Be creative and make things, learn how to cook! Watch your family make dinner and write a recipe that you can keep for when you’re an adult! Lots of lovely things you can do as well as the work we set.

Jasmine has really been keeping herself busy with a variety of activities.

Ellen has also been completing lots of fantastic work- she even performed a concert to her grandparents over Skype with her family all playing an instrument in a band!

We have had lots of lovely photos through and thank you for those! Modern technology won’t always allow me to upload these to the blog so I am sorry if they’re not on here- we promise we have seen them!

Below is a wonderful poem created by Hope-

Don’t Worry By Hope P

Don’t panic

Our world will be a better place if we listen to what we are told

Nothing will defeat us if we help each other

Taking the responsibility into your own hands

Worrying makes it worse

Opportunity to show we care

Rallying together to help those who need it

Rely on others to help you as well

You can be one of the people who change how some act.

Thank you Hope for that inspiring message.
Look out on the blog tomorrow for next weeks homelearning!

We miss you Happy Hippos and Lovely Lions, stay safe.
