Year 3
Half-term: Autumn 2
In Year 3, we believe that homework should consolidate the learning that has taken place in school and engage the children to share this new knowledge with their families. The activities chosen below are directly relevant to the Year 3 curriculum in school.
Please choose and complete at least 6 activities from the grid over the course of the half-term. Homework can be recorded in the homework book or brought into school in any other form (photos, posters etc) where appropriate. We teach the children to take pride and responsibility for their own work, therefore we expect each homework task to be completed with care and to the best of your ability.
As part of our weekly homework offer in Year 3:
• Please continue to aim to read with your child at least 3 times a week.
• We would also like your child to continue to practise their times tables at home
• To support with our reading and writing work in school, we will now start to send home each week a spelling rule and linked words so you are aware of what is being covered as part of our work in school. This rule will be taught and practised throughout the following week in school and we wanted to send this home so, where possible, children can practise this at home. Children will have the chance to learn, practise and apply this rule in class through a range of activities and quizzes as part of our RWI spelling programme.
Thank you for your continued support.
Writing
Write a non-chronological report about something that interests you. You could choose anything to write about such as animals, countries, sports or space. Or you could be creative and make up an animal of your own! Use the link to find out more about how to write a non-chronological report https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ articles/zr93p4j#zptms82

Science
We will be exploring the skeleton and muscles in science this half term. Build your own skeleton using cotton buds or why not get outdoors and find some branches and twigs to create your skeleton? Can you name the different bones?
Roman Diorama
Create a 3D scene from the Roman era in a box. A shoebox would be ideal. You could create a scene from a Roman villa, Roman baths, an amphitheatre or a bustling Roman market.
Reading
Choose a reading book and look for words that you don’t know the meaning of. Look up the definition of each of your words and write them down to create your own vocabulary list. Can you put your words into alphabetical order?
Roman Mosaics
Make your own Roman mosaic using cut paper, pasta shapes, seeds, etc. Try to keep your design simple for the best effect.
Scratch
This half term, we will be developing our coding skills to create simple games. Explore more at home using the link below to create your own game or animation.
