This week’s homework is talk time and moral-themed and links with our science lessons over the next couple weeks. We’ll be talking about how environments can change and that this can be a danger for living things.
The question to consider and discuss is:
Do humans have a negative impact on the earth?
We’d like you to talk about whether humans contribute positively or negatively to the environment.
Do they have a positive or negative impact on the plants and animals in their localities?
Are things that we can do to have a more positive impact on the environment?

The homework Y3 sent in this week was so amazing! Your children clearly spent lots of time working hard to produce their homework and clearly enjoyed doing so, too! Well done!
This week, the homework is a practise makes perfect: I can correct squashed sentences. It is due in on Thursday 01 October for homework review.
In writing lessons, we have been reminding ourselves what a squashed sentence is. A squashed sentence is where two ‘chunks of information’ that make sense on their own haven’t been separated by a full stop or a conjunction.
For example:
Humpty climbed the wall he was very scared. This is a squashed sentence as it needs something in between wall and he.
Humpty climbed the wall and He was very scared are chunks of information that make sense on their own.
Instead, it should read:
Humpty climbed the wall. He was very scared. OR Humpty climbed the wall and he was very scared (or a different, appropriate conjunction).
Your task is to correct these squashed sentences. As an extra challenge, you could write some of your own sentences.
Times Tables
This week, your homework is to practise the times tables that have been assigned to you on TT Rockstars.
Keep up the great effort, Y3.

Your homework this week is creative: I know the different types of animals.
In science lessons, we’re learning about living things and their habitats. This week, we’ve been learning about the different types of animals and what makes them special (see this attached document for more information).
We’d like the children to show that they know some animals that belong to each group and why they belong to each group. For example:
All mammals have hair, give birth to live young, feed their young with milk and are warm-blooded. Some examples of mammals are humans, horses, whales.
It is up to children how they present this information. The may choose to create a poster, a video, a presentation.
Times Tables
Your child’s login details for Times Table Rock Stars is stuck into their homework books. Please login and practise regularly.
This week, we’re recapping the 2s,5s and 10 times tables. Your Times Table Rock Stars questions will be set to practise these times tables (with a few exceptions for children who have already shown they have mastered these tables.

Hello everyone,
It’s Friday so your child will be coming home with a homework task: we’re setting weekly homework as we normally do. The key difference here is that Homework Books should stay at home for the time being.
Just as normal, the tasks are posted on the website. Instead of the task pasted into books, children take home a piece of paper with the task on, too. The tasks are a variety of Talk Time, Practice Makes Perfect and Creative, but especially the first two.
Parents, you can email a picture of the completed task (or task in process) or update about a completed task. (Lots of you were doing this with the home learning tasks we set in Spring and Summer terms). The homework will be reviewed in school, so some pictures would be good!
Homework
This week’s homework is talk time and will be reviewed on Thursday 17 September.
I can talk about what I’ve learnt this week.
Sit down as a family and have a chat about how school has been this week. What have they learnt? What have they been proud of? What have they found tricky?
We’ll then discuss this in class on Thursday.

Hello everyone!
Hope you have had a good week! Thanks very much for all your hard work.
It is my last week posting the Year 3 learning as Mr Owen will be back setting you your three tasks from Monday! I’ve really enjoyed being your teacher again for the last few weeks.

For maths, we’re doing the BBC Friday Challenges again. Remember to have a go at the Year 4 ones if you want a further challenge!
Finally, it’s another week of Andy Goldsworthy’s natural art challenges. Andy Goldsworthy Challenges – Week 3
If the weather’s bad, you can do some observational drawing of something natural: a banana, some flowers, a turnip, your brother. It is up to you! If you fancy doing something different, have a look at these arty videos for some inspiration.
