Good morning year 3!
Today we’d like you to read about Jane Goodall here https://www.ducksters.com/biography/scientists/jane_goodall.php
While reading think about:
a) What are the key events in her life?
b) Would you like to do what she did?
c) What does her biography make you think of?
Tomorrow we will answer some questions about Jane Goodall. Well done for today!!
Learning Intention: To discuss the merits of living within a specific climate.
So That: I can communicate my learning in different ways.
Dear students, parents and carers,
As our half-term comes to a close, we would like students to share what they have learnt from our Geography lessons.
Activity
Please choose a country/province or city from a tropical, temperate or arctic climate zone. Using the information and geographical terminology you’ve learnt this half-term, explain to your reader why they should visit this country.
What kinds of information could we share?
You can use the information you gathered last week to help you, or you can choose a completely different place to discuss!
** Think about what makes this country so appealing! Is it the temperature? Beaches? Deserts? Vegetation? Etc.
Here is an example from Wanderlust.co.uk
Take a look at how they are trying to convince you to visit this area. They mention:
You have the choice to share your learning in any way you choose! Ex: poster/fact file/information leaflet, etc. It’s up to you!

I Can:
Take your time and enjoy sharing and learning more about our world! 🙂
If there are any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment on the blog.
NB
Good Morning, it’s Monday! Welcome back 🙂
It is a brand new week which means a brand new topic. This week we will be focusing on money and refining our knowledge so when we visit the shops we know what our change should be!
Learning Intention: To understand that money can be represented in different ways
So that I recognise the same values
W.I.N
– To know the value of a coin/note
– To know what ‘p’ and ‘£’ represent.
-To use the key to calculate the correct total
Introduction to the activity
Let’s recap everything we know about money. Look at the image below which shows all the different types of coins and notes that we use in the UK. For each coin/note, write the amount it represents. There are some key words to help you if you need it.
Some of these bank notes are older but still represent the same amount. To see the new banknotes click on the links below.
Click on these link to see if you were correct.
Too easy? Calculate the amount that is in this jar. What method will you need to use?
Task 1
Use <,> or = to work out the answers to the questions below.

If you need any help please leave a comment below.
Thank you,
The Year 3 Team 🙂

LI: To understand how Easter is celebrated by Christians
So that I can understand what the Easter festival is like.
WIN
Know what Easter is.
To know the Easter story.
I know why Easter is important to Christians.
I can explain how Christians celebrate Easter.
Activity
Today, you will be doing some research into how Easter is celebrated by Christians then write a short paragraph explain your findings.
Recap your knowledge of the Easter story by watching this video https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1pYRg2f202rqWHrp3ywhTyX/religions-of-the-world
When doing your research and writing your paragraphs aim to answer the following questions:
Why do Christians celebrate Easter?
How is Easter celebrated in England?
How is Easter celebrated in other countries like Spain, Italy and Greece?
Extension
Explain how Easter celebrations are different to Christmas celebrations.
LI: To study notable artists.
Today we are going to look at three notable female artists. We are then going to have a go at making our own self portrait in the style of ONE of the artists.
You’ll need a mirror for today’s activity (or any way of seeing your own face!)
What Makes A Good (WMAG) portrait in the style of another artist
First let’s look at each artist and one example of their work.
Joan Carlile
Carlile lived in the 1600s and is known as the first professional female painter.
This painting is from roughly 1650 (the exact date isn’t known) and is of Lady Dorothy Browne and Sir Thomas Browne. You can see a very strong light and shadow effect with the faces almost appearing greasy. Her subjects tend to have a bit of emotion showing on their faces.
For more, go to https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Joan_Carlile
Mary Beale
Mary Beale is known as the first female artist to enough money to pay for her whole family after spending a life practising her painting on many of London’s most notorious people.
This painting is from 1697 and is of Nell Gwyl. Beale’s work is characterised by her use of light and shadow, with her subjects appearing three-dimensional. Her use of bold colour contrasts her models’ neutral faces.
Find out and see more of her work at https://arthistoryproject.com/artists/mary-beale/
Anne Killigrew
Killigrew was born into the upper class of British society in the 1600s. She is famous for a portrait of King James II and was also a well respected poet.
Here we see a self portrait of Killigrew. Despite lacking colour it has a lot of detail (see the hair) through the use of thin and thick lines. Light and shadow are important too to emphasise the detail of her face (look at the nose and eye lids.)
Activity
Now we’d like you to have a go at sketching a self portrait of yourself in your sketch books. Choose one of the artists we have looked at and do a self portrait in their style. Think about what makes their paintings unique; how do they use light and shadow? What effects do they get out of it?
Try and have three goes at this. After each attempt, think about what you could do better, and how you could make your self portrait look as though it were made by your chosen artist!
Extension
Leave a comment telling us which artist you prefer, and why.
It’s Fri-yay!
L.I: To read a 24 hour clock… so that I can read the time digitally.
W. I . N
-I know there are 24 hours in a day
-I know each hour can be written digitally 00:00 to 23:00
-I know after 23:00 the time starts from 00:00 again
You will need:
Introduction to the task
Write on a spare piece of paper everything that you can remember about 24 hour time (don’t worry if its not much or nothing at all!). Today we will be looking at 24 time and reading digital clocks.
Use your timeline from yesterdays lesson to help you. We’re going to draw this timeline again however after 12am instead of writing 1 o’clock P.M , 2 o’clock P.M., 3 o’clock P.M. etc.. We are going to continue counting on from 12, this is 24 hour time which is usually shown on a digital watch.
Using the example below convert these times into a 24 hour format:
IMPORTANT: Once you reach 12 o’clock again, it becomes 12 A.M. this is represented in 24 hour time as 00:00.
Use your newly written timelines to help you with Task 1.
Task 1 – Write these digits times in your books.

If you need any help, let us know.
Thank you,
The Year 3 Team
