Summer Term- Week 1 (20.4.20)

Welcome back Y3! I hope you had a brilliant Easter break and are ready for lots more fun 'home learning'.

Just like before Easter, each day I will post activities for English, Maths & Reading as well as some suggested afternoon activities.

Please upload any work / extra activities that you complete to 'Class Dojo' for marking!

I love seeing all the exciting things you have been learning and getting up to at home. :D

 

Our vehicle this term is called "Incredibles!"

So we will now be learning all about:

-Our incredible body (Science)

-Incredible Earth (Geography / Science)

-Incredible Egyptians (History)

...and lots more INCREDIBLE things!!

Afternoon activities:

(please try and complete some of these optional activities throughout the week!)

What did you do over the Easter holidays?

I would love to hear about your 2 week break!

You could create a photo collage / diary / poem / poster and post it on class dojo!

SCIENCE: 

Read the powerpoint / pdf information about the different nutrient groups.

Can you create a poster to teach me about the 7 types of nutrients?

HISTORY:

Pretend you are an archeologist!

Look at the artefacts on the worksheet. Can you answer the questions and think about what the artefacts might tell us about Egyptian life?
