We hope you’ve had a restful half term and have been enjoying the beautiful sunshine! We can’t believe the final half term of the year is here. As always, we’re missing you lots and hoping to see you lovely faces soon \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here is the home learning for the week ahead…<\/p>\n

Topic:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Locate China on a world map\/ globe. What continent is it on? What countries does it border? Which sea is it near?<\/p>\n

Speak to people you know, use books\/ internet to make a fact file about China. Use the files attached to help you. You can present your work as creatively as you\u2019d like to.<\/p>\n

Fact Files<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Fact File 2<\/a><\/p>\n

English<\/u><\/strong>: <\/u><\/p>\n

There are many different versions and videos of the story of the Chinese zodiac. Here are a couple.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Debate: do you think the rat deserved to win? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Talk to people in your family and debate the question above. Record your argument as if you were going to present it as a speech persuading other people to agree with you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Guided reading: <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link to download the text about the year of the dog and answer the questions below. There are three different texts and answers. Choose the one that\u2019s best for you.\u00a0https:\/\/www.twinkl.co.uk\/resource\/t2-e-4802-lks2-the-year-of-the-dog-differentiated-reading-comprehension-activity<\/a><\/p>\n

Maths<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you enjoyed last weeks angle lessons here are the next two-<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.thenational.academy\/year-3\/maths\/to-recognise-right-angles-year-3-wk4-3<\/a><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.thenational.academy\/year-3\/maths\/to-recognise-obtuse-and-acute-angles-year-3-wk4-4<\/a><\/p>\n

If not, remember when we made our right angle eaters? Can you make your own one at home and see how many right angles you can find around your house?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now if an angle is smaller then a right angle we call this an acute angle. If it is bigger, then we call this an obtuse angle. Can you find any acute and obtuse angles around the house?<\/p>\n

Now draw a picture or a series of shapes and label the different size angles in it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spelling <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

What do all of these words have in common?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Young\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 double\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 touch\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 trouble\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 country\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 rough<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What sound does the \u2018ou\u2019 make?<\/p>\n

Rainbow write these words and circle the \u2018ou\u2019 in them.<\/p>\n

Can you now write these words in to a sentence?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Science <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our new science topic is \u2018Forces and Magnets\u2019. This week, as an introduction and a bit of a refresher, we\u2019d like you to watch a selection of clips from the BBC Bitesize website. You don\u2019t have to watch them all \u2013 just whatever takes your fancy! There are clips about how forces work in all sorts of different settings, from boats and cars to how they affect astronauts and cyclists.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/bitesize\/topics\/zvpp34j\/resources\/1<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re happy with what a \u2018force\u2019 is, perhaps you can go on a forces hunt around your house or garden, or whilst on a walk. Look out for forces in action, having an affect on the things around us, including ourselves!<\/p>\n

Music from Mrs Sumba <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Johannes Brahms<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Go to the website below and watch Radzi Chinyanganya\u2019s video about Johannes Brahms.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/teach\/ten-pieces\/classical-music-johannes-brahms-hungarian-dance\/zfj4y9q<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Why was Brahms considered to be a musical trailblazer?<\/p>\n

Now listen to the whole piece in the second video.<\/p>\n

Can you spot the changes in tempo? When is it fast? When is it slow? Try moving to the music.<\/p>\n

Find 2 objects that you could use like drums- 1 should have a high sound (pitch), 1 should have a low pitch.<\/p>\n

Practise playing them- left, right, left, right – create a steady pulse in time with the music. Does the pulse change?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Art from Mrs Pearson- animal magic!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

For this week\u2019s Art Challenge I would like you produce some art that is linked to ANIMALS!\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>Your animal can live on the land, in the sea or the sky. If you prefer, you can make your own mythical animal from your own imagination\u2026 or even a fusion of two animals.\u00a0 It can be a drawing, a painting, it can be made from a kitchen roll tube, a painted stone, made from things you find in the woods or at the beach or anything else that you can think of. I’m sure you will create something ‘magical’, as always!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Ideas to inspire you:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, if this doesn\u2019t appeal to you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.<\/p>\n

Please email your artwork to me:<\/p>\n

n.pearson@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p>\n

Keep creating and keep safe!<\/p>\n
