Good morning Home Learners! Only two days until the Easter holidays, you are all doing brilliantly. If you haven’t done so already, have a go at making an Easter card or try some Easter crafts or Easter baking. Don’t forget to have a go at some of the R.E ideas posted by Mrs Derrer.

Have a great day! Miss Pinches

12 to do at home worship and RE activities

History- We have been learning about the Vikings. There are lots of resources for this on twinkl.co.uk

You could try making a model of a Viking house, a Viking Longship, a Viking helmet or some Viking inspired jewellery. LKS2_IS_VIkings_BlkC_WayofLife_S2_Resource1

Science- some investigations for you to try. Which animals and plants live in different habitats? What can you find in your garden? Help your child to make a brief record of what they find in a table. Discuss what animals they found and where they found them. Can they find out some facts about one of the living things they found?  Can they make an information poster or booklet about them?

Are all plants the same? Look at two differently structured flowers. Ask your child to draw and label the parts of the plants that are common to both e.g. leaf, stem, petal, flower. Look at differences in shapes of leaf, colour of flower, thickness of stem. Year 3 should be introduced to the relationship between structure and function: the idea that every part has a job to do.

Does the size of the pot influence the size of the plant? Show your child two pot-bound plants that have grown too large for their pots. Repot one while showing your child the roots. Why do they think the plant needs repotting? What do they think will happen to the plant that has been repotted? What do they think will happen to the other plant? Let your child observe the plants over the next few weeks to see which one thrives. Encourage your child to sketch and label their observations.

R.E- Mrs Derrer will be posting some nice ideas from the Diocese. In Yellow, we have been learning about Easter and following the ideas from ‘Love Life, Live Lent’. These are the ideas for this week: Find ways to save water, make a card for a friend, ask someone how they are and take the time to listen to the answer, take longer over breakfast and really taste your cornflakes (or whatever else you have!), make a list of the good things in your life, make some cakes for your family.

I hope that you will find some of these ideas useful. Thinking of all our home learners. Miss Pinches
