This week’s homework is practice makes perfect:

To collect, present and interpret data.

This homework is due in on Thursday  22 June.

We have been learning about statistics: presenting data using bar charts, pictograms and tables. For this week’s homework, I’d like you to collect some data, display it and write some one-step and two-step questions for the class to answer about your data, during our homework review.

We had a discussion in class and the children came up with some data they could collect.

  • Traffic survey
  • Different colour cars in a car park or on your street
  • Different birds/insects/wildlife found in the garden or the park
  • Different fruit in the fruit bowl
  • Coins in a piggy bank
  • If you are going to a family party or a club with a lot of people – ask them their favourite animal, favourite colour, favourite food

Children can collect the data in a tally chart and decide if they would like to present it using a bar chart or pictogram. Remember to label the axes and give the chart a title.

I can show what I have learned during our ‘Forces and Magnets’ topic.

During our mini-topic on Forces and Magnets, Year 3 have learnt about:

  • Pushes and pulls
  • Friction
  • Magnetic materials
  • Magnet strength

Children can choose one or more of these ideas and show what they have learnt in a creative way. Maybe you could display your learning through an information poster, a diagram or a quiz.

This week’s homework is Talk Time.

I see things from other people’s point of view.      

Children should talk about how it is important to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and understand how they feel in order to help them resolve their issues. We will have a class discussion on Thursday 30 March.

We are still concentrating on our 3 and 4 times tables.

This week’s homework is practice makes perfectTo understand the spelling rules for plurals. 

I would like children to revise the different spelling rules for plural words. It was highlighted in our recent Year 3 grammar test that this is something all the children need more practice on.

The task the children have been given is to:

  1. Walk around your home and look for things you have more than one of. Make a list of all the plurals you can find.
  2. With your help, discuss how these should be spelled. How many things have you got on your list?
  3. Can you find at least one thing for each spelling rule?
  • Just add ‘s’ (cups)
  • Add ‘es’ (bunches, boxes)
  • Change ‘y’ to ‘ies’ (stories)
  • Change the word completely (mice, children)
  • Change the ending to ‘ves’ (halves)

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Thursday 16 March.

I can show what I have learnt about fractions. 

In maths lessons, we’ve become familiar with unit and non-unit fractions, fractions of objects, quantities and numbers. For this homework, show off what you have learnt this week involving fractions.

It’s worth remembering that ‘creative‘ does not necessarily mean ‘colourful’ or ‘eye-catching’. Similarly, it is worth remembering that we expect children to spend a minimum of 30-40 minutes on creative homework – children shouldn’t spend much longer, either.
