Out of School Learning
Year 3
Dear parents & carers of a wonderful Y3 child,
As you are aware, Sheffield schools will be closed for a short period due to the Coronavirus (COVID- 19). We want to minimise the impact this will have on your child’s learning so we have put together this bank of ideas to ensure your child will continue learning and consolidating their understanding whilst being away from school. In addition, we would ask that you access the activities that have been set here on a daily basis by Mrs Scarpello & Mrs Keen (Mon-Fri during normal school days).
Set Activities:
Good morning Y3
Friday 27th March
Reading – Continue to read 3 times a week.
Maths
Look at the following numbers. Can you partition them into hundreds, tens and ones?
345
953
203
533
290
Now can you order them from largest to smallest?
SPaG
Write 5 sentences – make them as silly as you want, but they must all include a conjunction. Challenge – a subordinating conjunction.
Underline the conjunction you have used,
For fun – Make an Easter card. Can you recycle any materials? Use egg boxes to make 3D flowers?
