The fun of the carnival!
Homework Project Term 3 – Year 3
Thank you for the continued support of your child’s learning
This term we are focusing on a science theme – electricity, light and sound.
Children must complete activity a, b and two other activities from the list. Remember
to name all homework.
These activities link to the children’s learning in Theme lessons and promotes the use
of independent learning skills as well as English and Maths skills. It is ok if you need to
support them in these tasks. If the children have any queries they can ask me in class
although we have gone over the tasks in class.
This homework should be completed alongside regular reading (at least 5 times per
week at home), spelling and times tables practice.
Children may bring the homework pieces in as they complete them and all 4 pieces must
be completed by Friday 5th February. This works out as a week to do each piece. If
you have any questions please come and see me.
A – English, A setting
description
Imagine you are at a
carnival. Describe the
setting using your 5 senses,
similes, metaphors and
personification. Remember
it’s a description and not a
story so nothing should
actually happen.
D - Light, optical
illusion
Complete the bird in the
cage optical illusion from
the attached sheet.
Remember to put your
name on it because yours
won’t be the only one!
B – Maths
You have a menu for
carnival foods. You are
going with two parents
and one friend, how much
will it cost for you all to
eat what you would like.
Write down the items
you have chosen and how
much it will cost
altogether. Remember to
show your working.
E – Sound
Write a poem about all of
the sounds that you
would hear at a carnival.
You could call it “The
Sound Collector”. There
is already a poem of this
name, you can research it
to help.
C – Art
Make a poster about
being safe around
electricity. Remember
that posters should be
bold and clear. Don’t
include too much writing.
F – Carnival float
Research a carnival float
on the internet, or use
pictures you have from a
carnival you have visited,
and print off a picture.
Reuse things you would
have thrown away to
create a model of the
float. Hand in the float
and the picture.
