Year 3 Topic Home Learning 22.02.2021 - 26.02.2021
Zoom Meeting.
Before I begin to introduce this week’s learning, I would like to take a few minutes to talk to you about our Zoom meeting today. As you may be aware, Kasie is currently ill in hospital and we have been asked by her parents if we could send some video messages from her friends, in order to cheer her up. I am going to use this afternoon’s Zoom meeting as a chance for you to send her a get well soon message. We will record the meeting and send it via email to her parents, who can then show this to her. It is important that we have a parent or guardians' permission to include you in the video. If your parent is allowing you to attend the meeting, we can use this as permission for your message to be included. If you wish to, you could write something down before hand to read out during the meeting.
I hope everyone enjoyed their break as much as possible. I am really pleased with the work that I have received off many of you. keep up the fabulous work, and please send me at least one piece of work for me to look at this week. Here are your topic sessions for this week.
Monday- Science
Over the last few weeks we have been looking at how light works. Last week you learnt about how shadows are formed and looked at objects which were transparent, translucent, and opaque. Opaque objects do not allow light to travel through them. Opaque objects form shadows.
Here is a video, please watch the video up to 3 minutes and 30 seconds (210 seconds). I am aware the video talks about year 3, however the video will still develop our understanding
Once you have watched the video. Todays science lesson is a practical lesson.
I would like you to find a shadow. Once you have found a shadow, I would like you to take a photo of the shadow using a device, if not draw the shadow.
Then, every hour for 3 hours, I would like you to go back to the same shadow and repeat. Either take a photo or draw the shadow.
Each time you look at the shadow, consider if the position of the shadow has changed. I would like you to also consider the position of the sun, is the sun in the same place? Is there anything blocking the sun which will cast a shadow over your village such as clouds?
Write down your observations.
If the weather is not suitable, or it is difficult to find a shadow to observe. This can be created indoors. In a dark room, all you need is an tall opaque object and a torch.
In the dark room, I would like you to shine the torch on the opaque object and look at the shadow. Then move the torch (light source) to a different position and observe how the shadow changes.
Write down your observations.

You may also decide to make food, or do some baking. You could design a game, or even make a game. You could create a quiz to share with members of your household or friends virtually.
