This week’s homework is Talk Time.
Talk Time: I know ways to manage my emotions.
The children will be completing some progress tests next week and so this week’s homework is for the children to familiarise themselves with the range of mindfulness techniques they have learnt in school. These techniques can support the children to deal with their emotions and remind themselves that it is ok to feel different emotions. How many techniques can they try? Which is their favourite technique? Can they teach a technique to a family member?
This is due in on Thursday 04 June 2019.

Homework this week is Creative: I can show what I am curious about.
In class, we have been reading ‘Curiosity: The story of a Mars Rover’ by Markus Motum. The book follows the Mars rover, Curiosity, as she travels across the red planet in search of proof of life on Mars. This lead us to discuss what we are curious about. We have discussed things that we may be curious about:
- Has every species of animal been discovered?
- The solar system.
- Are there any famous artists that create their art on computers?
- The digestive system.
- The question: ‘What came first the chicken or the egg?’
- Our family heritage.
- Insects.
- Is there life on Mars?
- A YOUtuber.
Children are invited to research what they are curious about. We talked about using books, asking adults questions, reading newspapers or researching online. We discussion that we need an adult’s permission to go online.
Your child should show what they want to find out or learn omre about and show this in a creative way. Ideas in class included:
- Making a poster or leaflet.
- Creating a presentation as an ‘expert’ on the subject of their choice
- Writing a song.
- Create an animation.
- Draw a picture and label it.
- Make a video.
This is due in on Thursday 27 June 2019.

We’ve gone through how to complete the diary and children should ask if they’re not sure through the week.

This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due in on Friday 21 June 2019.
Talk Time : I can tell the time to the minute on an analogue clock.
For the past 2 weeks Year 3 have been learning to tell and show the time to the minute on an analogue clock. This homework has been chosen as it is a vital life skill that Year 3 must be able to do by the end of the year.
The R2s that Year 3 use to tell the time are:
- To or past?
- Count in jumps of 5 minutes.
- Count on in jumps of 1 minute.
- Decide which hour we are talking about.
As a challenge, we have just started to tell the time with a 12 hour analogue clock using the language of AM and PM and then explaining what we may be doing at this time of the day.

The homework this week is talk time and is another moral themed homework:
Should we stop buying food that is grown in other countries?
In topic lessons this week, we’ve looked at some foods the teachers have bought from the supermarket and have been surprised at their country of origin and how far they have travelled to get to the supermarket.
There are reasons both for and against us buying food from other countries. Discuss these with your child and we’ll debate back in class next week.
