Longstone Primary Home Learning Grid - Primary 3A Week beginning Tuesday 23.06.20
Reading: Read for 10 minutes daily. The
Oxford Owl username is missalexanderp3
and the password is Longstonep3.
This week’s reading skill is to discuss what
is happening in the book, focussing on the
beginning, middle and end. Read a book
and then choose a scene from a book you
have read. Imagine you are peeping at it
through a keyhole and only get a glimpse of
the story. What would you see to tell us
what is happening? What details are
important? Draw a part of the story
through a key hole and refer to ‘help sheet
3’ as a guide.
Spelling: We are learning to practise our
tricky words.
Look, say, cover, write and check each of
your tricky words three times, refer to
‘help sheet 4’.
Numeracy: This week we are going to revise
rounding numbers. Rounding means making a number
simpler but keeping its value close to what it was.
We know that rounding can help us add and takeaway,
it helps us estimate and can make our calculations
quicker. Watch the videos and play the quiz: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zh8dmp3/articles/zpx2qty Remember if the number ends in a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 you
round down and if it ends in a 5, 6 7, 8 or 9 you
round up. For example:
43 is closest to 40 as you round down as it ends in 3.
55 is closest to 60 as you round up as it ends in 5.
67 is closest to 70 as you round up as it ends in 7.
Refer to ‘help sheet 5’.
Numeracy: This week we are focussing on grouping
and multiplication. Choose a times table that you
would like to practise. Maybe it is the 2, 5 or 10
times-table or for a challenge the 3, 4 or 6 times-
table. Use a 100 square first and practise counting
up in your times table. For example, if you chose the
Last week of term LONGSTONE challenge. For

O ctopus – draw yourself as an animal and explain
why! I’ve chosen an octopus as I often think I
would need lots of arms to do lots of tasks at
once!
N umbers of me. Create some sums which
answers reveal something about you. For example,
my Age is 4 + 3. My shoe size is double 6.
G etting ready. Time yourself getting completely

Listening and Talking: Make a word
cloud with all the boost words you can

things; verbs: doing words and adjectives:
describing words. How many different
boost words can you find in my example?

help you remember the times table? Have a go at the
multiplication wheels on ‘help sheet 6’.

solve problems. Refer to ‘help sheet 7a and 7b’.
Remember to discuss how you got your answers with
someone at home.
shoes, practise for when we go back to school!).
How long did it take, can you beat your best time?
S chool. Design your dream school.
What would it look like from outside?
What rooms and facilities would it have
inside? What would the teacher be like?
T ower. What is the tallest free-standing tower

Newspapers? Cushions? Pencils? Can you measure
it?
O ur favourite memories. Can you write down
some of your favourite things about Primary 3, it
may be something to do with your friends, or
something you enjoyed in your learning. You could
create a memory jar.
N onsense races. Create your own silly races
– baby race (crawling), tip toe race,
big steps race, slowest wins race, balancing

What others can you think of and try?
E arn. I think you all deserve to earn an award
for doing so well at adjusting to lockdown and
home schooling. Reflect on lockdown. Decide what
you have done well during lockdown and write a
sentence explaining what thing you have done that
would deserve an award and why. Refer to ‘help
sheet 8’.
IDL/Science: We are learning about growing plants. Last week you were asked to identify the
main parts of a plant (roots, stem, leaves and flowers), watch this video again to remind you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLhTgTwbYMI&t=94s
We are now going to think about what plants need to grow. Do you think they might need some of
the same things as us? Watch this video to find out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUBIQ1fTRzI
Can you grow a plant in your house or garden? Think about what you will you need? If you are lucky
enough to have seeds at home, then give it a go! Take a photo or draw a picture each week to
record any growth. If you don’t have any seeds (like me), but you have an apple, then maybe you
could try this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3mbY-d2Zcg
Something fun:
• Decorate a plant pot for your seed (I like the ‘paint your name’ one): https://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/blog/how-to-decorate-a-plant-pot/
Remember just do what you can, when
you can. If you would like to share work you are proud of or have any questions, comments
or concerns please get in touch by emailing [email protected]
This week I have included ‘help sheets’ within the home learning grid. These
should provide you with ideas about how to structure and lay out the learning, you
are not required to print these out, but you may want to use these as a template
or resource to aid your child’s home learning.
Each day your child should aim to complete the daily challenges, as well as one Numeracy and one Literacy task. All the other
activities are optional, so once your child completes their Literacy and Numeracy task, they could then go on to choose one activity
from another subject area.
