Year Three: Autumn Term 2 Home Learning Grid
Over the next half term you should choose 6 activities to complete (1 activity per week). The activities are split across various subjects, each with
a different skills focus. You must choose at least one of the activities from each of the different subjects over this half term. You can choose the
order in which you complete these activities. However, you must give one piece of work in on the Wednesday of each week. Please keep this
sheet in your book bag and get a parent to sign each activity when completed (these will be checked).
IMPORTANT: you must also read with an adult at least 5 times a week which must be noted in the reading record and practise your spellings for
a spelling test on Thursdays.
Remember, presentation is important!
Time
English
Diary
Cooking
We have noticed a large number of
children are finding telling and
writing the time challenging. Your
first task is to create a device to tell
and display the time (doesn’t have
to be fully functional). This could
be a clock, a sun dial or something
more creative.
Additionally it would be great to aid
and support your child to be able
to tell the time (at least till the
nearest five minutes) on an
analogue and digital clock. As
much practice as possible here is
best.
Magnets
Create a list of as many things around
your house that contain magnets or
use magnetism. Be careful as some
magnets will not look like the magnets
used at school and some you will not
be able to see at all. For example
speakers include magnets.
Your task is to keep a diary for a whole
week (seven days). You should write at
least two sentences for each day and
include some details about what you
did and how you felt.
Remember
Another adult will read this diary. Also it
should be written in the first person and
the past tense.

Perfect your measuring and timing
skills to make some gingerbread
biscuits.
You could use the recipe provided, or
one of your own.
You might choose to ice them, or put
holes in them to add ribbons for
Christmas Tree ornaments.
How you record this learning is your
choice. You could write about making
them, ask the people who eat them
what they think, or even bring some in
for us to try at school.

horse race game.
Follow the instructions to play the game.

It’s up to you!
We will be studying volcanoes. Use your
design skills to create your own volcano.
You have a sheet with 18 different
activities mentioned. Cut these out
and stick them in order from which is
the shortest to the longest. You will
need to work some of them out, or
find extra information for some of
them.
You can use the attached instructions or
find your own.
How you record your learning is up to
you. You could write about it, or
photograph it, create a power point or
video when it erupts. It is up to you.
Those you are unsure of, do your
best.
