Year 3/4 2019/2020

Home Learning for Year 3/4 for Week Commencing 22nd June

22nd June 2020D Hymers

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and you have had a nice weekend.  It seems so long since we were all together in school but I have loved our Google Online lessons over the last two weeks. Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who have joined in with us in our lessons: It is wonderful to see you all engaging and I am sure it means the world to the children as you continue this journey together. It also gives you an insight into the sort of work we do in class.

For those that haven’t joined in yet – it would be great to see you even if it’s only for a few minutes to say hi.

Please remember that you can pick up a Home Learning Pack up from Mrs Winter in the school office.  If you can not get into school, this week’s pack is below.

      STONEHENGE – SUMMER SOLSTICE

You may remember that we learnt about Stonehenge before Christmas and we even created some lovely Stonehenge Sunset Silhouettes’ that we turned into calendars. Well this weekend was the Summer Solstice which is the longest day of the year so the sun would have shone through the middle of the centre stone as it set.

Please can you create a Poster or Fact file that will give a reader lots of information about this magical place.

Can you find out how the summer solstice celebrations were restricted this year due to  Covid-19?

Thanks again for your continued support.

Stay Safe.

Mr Hymers

Weekly Learning Tasks for Year 3/4 – Week commencing 15th June.

15th June 2020D Hymers

Hi everyone,

Another week passes and sadly we are still unable to be together in our class. On the bright side, lots us have had a great week in our Google Classroom.

We had a marvellous lesson this morning where we all worked together to create a poem.

This is what we came up with. Isn’t it great !

Mr Rabbit’s class hopped out,
Mrs Water’s class spilled out.

Mr Orange’s class peeled out,

Home Learning Tasks for Year 3/4 Week commencing 8th June

8th June 2020D Hymers

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is well.

Can I just start by saying that I had a lovely time this morning chatting to the children that managed to join our Google Class at 10 am. It was amazing to see you all and thank you parents for logging the children in and I loved the fact that you joined in with the lesson too.

I know a few of you had a problem logging on and I hope we have managed to sort that now.

It would be fantastic to see a few more of you tomorrow. Remember there is no pressure: it just gives children a chance to see and interact with each other as we try to bring a bit of routine back into ALL of our lives.

If you have any queries please send me an email.

Regarding this week’s home learning, as ever I will continue to post ideas on our Website on a Monday that will include links to online learning.

Also you can pick up ‘Home Learning Packs’ from the school office on a Monday too. If you cannot get into school I will upload the packs on here.

Here is a digital copy of the work that is available from school ( I have also included the answers and some guidance)  Please don’t feel you need to print it all off. It maybe you just print off the sheets you want to complete – so you can save on paper and ink.

Here is the link to this weeks lessons on Bitesize.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zmyxxyc/year-3-and-p4-lessons

You can learn about Equivalent Fractions in Maths. We have done lots of work on Inverted Commas so you can consolidate your understanding in the English lesson. There is also a lovely lesson on The Romans.

You may have seen that we will be ‘celebrating success’ on a Friday and congratulating pupils on our Website and Facebook who have worked hard during the week.

Obviously we can’t win any attendance certificates at the moment but perhaps we could be the class that wins for being the best on TT Rockstars.

 

Please log into Rockstars and Lexia as much as you can and show the rest of the school how amazing you all are.

 

Thanks again for you continued support I am so proud of you all

Thanks

Home Learning for Year 3/4 (Week beginning 1st June)

1st June 2020D Hymers

Hello everyone,

I hope that you are all safe and well and that you are  still managing to do some nice things with your loved ones. Hasn’t the weather been beautiful.

I can’t believe that it is June already – I hope that it is not too long before we are all back together in our fabulous school as we miss you all so much.

I really loved speaking to lots of you, on the telephone, before half-term. It was great to hear all the children sounding so happy. There were a few of you that I was unable to catch up with so please send me your number via email and I will give you a call.

Thank you all so much for keeping in touch via email and continuing to send me examples of the work that you have been doing.

I loved these from Sophie McIntosh. Aren’t they brilliant!

Download (DOCX, 470KB)

Perhaps Sophie’s work inspires you to do your own fact file. You could do one about any famous person. Perhaps your favourite footballer or singer.

The best resources for you to dip into are still, in my opinion, the BBC Bitesize activities that can be found here:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zmyxxyc/year-3-and-p4-lessons/1

In maths the focus is still on fractions and if you have missed some of these lessons they are still available on the website.

There are some excellent lessons in English and a good place to start would be the lesson looking at Similes and Metaphors. Can you write your own and send them to me?

Also there is a lovely lesson which consolidates what we have learnt about the Iron Age.

What I really like about these reosurces is that you can explore all the lessons to choose which you would like to do and each lesson is only short so we stay interested.

Lots of you commented on how much you enjoyed the Beowulf activities so below is a comprehension about the famous warrior.

( A note to parents – there are three different versions of this resource. If you look at the bottom of the sheet there is a little star. One star is the easier one and three stars is the most challenging. I have also included the answers so you can give the children some guidance if they need it). 

Download (PDF, 1.3MB)

 

As always please don’t forget Lexia and TT Rockstars – these are absolutely fantastic resources that the children will continue to use when we return to school.

See you all soon

Year 3/4 Home Learning Ideas for the week beginning 18th May

17th May 2020D Hymers

Hello again everyone,

I hope that you are all well and still finding lots of things to do to keep yourself occupied at this difficult time.

Thank you for engaging in last week’s tasks. I enjoyed receiving lots of your work on Beowulf.

If you didn’t manage to do any of our earlier weekly tasks and would like a go just click on the previous posts.

It was great to see more people logging on to Lexia so please continue with this resource as it is an excellent way to improve and consolidate many English skills.

Below are my weekly ideas for learning.

As always these are just ideas; you may have you own tasks that work for you as a family.

BBC Bitesize is still proving popular in my house so please check it out as they have daily lessons that are not too long and cover many areas of our curriculum.

This week, the Bitesize Maths lessons look at Fractions – so it would be really beneficial if you could look at these lessons as that is what we would be looking at if we were in school.

Also there is a fabulous lesson on the Bronze Age that will help to recap what we have already learnt.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zmyxxyc/year-3-and-p4-lessons/1

If you would like to look at another free online resource, The Oak National Academy is excellent it is an online school that the Government has funded to help while we are learning from home.

There are lots of great lessons for all Year groups.

https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/subjects/#subjects

 

I am sure , like me, you have all been inspired by our fabulous NHS and have been standing on your doorstep applauding these heroes on Thursdays.

This week I  thought we could try something slightly different. A project based on the NHS. There are lots of ideas  such as writing an Acrostic Poem, designing a poster or even writing a biography about Florence Nightingale.

There are so many fantastic resources online which Miss Giles-Brewster put together last week which you can find here.

  • Write or perform a short play about VE Day and what it would have been like 75 years ago

If you go to the Website Dan has links to great resources to help with these tasks.

Year 3/4 Learning Ideas for week commencing 27th April

27th April 2020D Hymers

Hi everyone,

I hope that you are all well and safe and have been able to enjoy the lovely weather. It was so nice to see lots of you on Friday when I dropped learning off to your homes. It really cheered me up to see you all still smiling.

Below are some learning tasks if you are looking for inspiration but please remember to use the BBC Bitesize resources that are proving very popular in my house. There are some fabulous daily lessons that cover all areas of the curriculum.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zmyxxyc/year-3-lessons/1

 

ENGLISH

We have another great picture for you to be inspired by.

DRY LAND

She was the greatest ship of her time.
With the tallest masts and the broadest sails, she was renowned for reaching terrific speeds, gliding through the ocean like a knife cutting through butter.
The crew had all disappeared, and the captain found himself alone with his ship. He pulled the rope tightly, bracing himself for the enormous task ahead. But then, suddenly, the heavens opened, and it started to rain…

Can you continue the story of the captain and his ship?

Question time!
When do you think the ship was built?
How did it become grounded on dry land?
Where are the rest of the crew?
How would you get the ship back to water if you were the captain?

 

Perfect picture!
Imagine the rain didn’t stop for days and days. Can you draw/describe what would happen to the ship? How would the landscape change?

SCIENCE 

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths and is a way of teaching the four subjects together as often they are linked

There are some great STEM ideas on this free website

https://www.stem.org.uk/home-learning

 

If you are struggling to get online just continue to use the paper resources that I delivered.

One of the nicest things I have managed to do over the last few weeks is catch up on my reading – so don’t for get to pick up a book and read for pleasure because as Dr Seuss said:

I hope these ideas help. I have managed to chat to most of you via email but please don’t hesitate to drop me a message if you need any more work or just need some guidance.

Thanks again for your continued support, you are all doing such an amazing job.
