Year 3 Homework – Spring 1 Thank you for all your hard work with your Autumn 2 homework. We really enjoyed looking at it with you and were very proud of the efforts you had made.
Here is the homework for this half term: READING - EVERY night for a minimum of 20 minutes. Children should have their reading journal in school every day and are encouraged to use the comprehension section at the front of the journals to think further about their reading. SPELLING – each Friday there will be a spelling test using the weekly spellings below. MATHS Practice timetables for weekly ‘Multiplication Club’ tests. This half term we will be looking at 3,4,5 and 10 times tables Four Maths tasks for this half term have been set up on mymaths.co.uk. If you are having problems accessing this or have forgotten your login details, please contact your child’s class teacher. HOMEWORK PROJECT – See below for the activities that make up this half term’s homework project. They need to be completed and handed in on or before Friday, 8th February 2019. These activities can be done in any order and can be handed in in any format: paper, scrapbook, PowerPoint presentation etc. As we want the children to get the most out of their homework project, we do ask that they take as much care with the presentation of their homework as they do with their work in class and that when the internet is being used for research, that the children are writing/typing up their work and not copying large chunks from websites such as Wikipedia. Religion Focus Our new topic will be Promises, and we will be thinking particularly about those promises made during the Sacrament of Baptism. Please write about your baptism, thinking about the following: Where and when were you baptised. Who were your godparents? What did you wear, and did it have any special signifcance? What were your parents’ special memories of the day? Book Focus We are currently reading One Plastic Bag by Miranda Paul, a non-fiction book about a plastic recycling project in the Gambia. Please produce a factfile on the environmental damage caused by single-use plastic. Think about:
What is single-use plastic? Why is this particularly harmful? What is its impact on wildlife, especially marine life? What can be done to improve the situation? How could you encourage people to make a difference?
