Dear Parents / Guardians,
This half term we will be looking at the science topic of ‘Moving and Growing’ and finding out all about the names of the bones in the human skeleton, why we have skeletons and the role of muscles.
For the children’s home learning project we would like them to have a scientific aspect. They can choose what they would like to do but we would like them to include a piece of writing.
Here are some ideas for what they could do:
1) Create a non-fiction booklet all about skeletons of animals and or humans. Think about how you would set out your non-fiction writing.
2) Make a model of a skeleton and label the bones/ write about the characteristics or facts.
4) Create and answer an investigation question, for example ‘Boys have longer bones than girls’. Record how you would solve this investigation and create a conclusion from your findings.
Please use what you are learning in school to help you complete your project as well as any extra research you are able to do at home to help you add more detail.
Please bring your homework into school on Tuesday 17th April.
Families are very welcome to come along and share all of our fabulous work at the Homework Showcase on Wednesday 18th April at 8.50.
Happy Learning
Year 3 Staff
