Year 3 – Monday 20th April

Good Morning Year 3

We hope you have had a fabulous weekend and are raring to go again with your home learning. Thank you for sending your lego Easter pictures for our competition, it was very tricky to judge so we have chosen three winners. Well done Bethany, Benjamin and Neve. We will give you your prizes soon.

We are excited today to introduce our new project ‘Nurturing Nature’ where we will be learning about plants and our local area.

A few reminders about how our posts work:
– Each day we will set some activities.
– There is absolutely no expectation that you get all of these activities completed each day.
– We want you to do as much as you can working through at your own pace.
– Try your best and if you are struggling, email us or leave it to one side and try again another time.

Things to remember
– Remember the denominator (the bottom number) tells you how many equal parts you divide the whole into.
– Any fraction is bigger than the whole (1) if the numerator (the top number) is greater than the denominator (the bottom number) e.g. 11/10
– Fractions are less than one whole if the denominator (the bottom number) is larger than the numerator (the top number) e.g. 2/10
– Unit fractions have a 1 as the numerator.
– Fractions with the same number as the denominator and numerator are the same as or equal to one whole.
– Use the numberlines from question 1 to help with question 2
