Summer 2
Hello again 3B! I hope you are all really well and that you are all still learning lots. We would love to see some of your learning, so please do get your grown ups to email it into [email protected] and then we can reply to it.
This half term’s topic is another great one:
RAINFORESTS!
Why don’t you have a go at some of the ideas and activities below?
- Take a journey into the rainforest. Use your senses to describe what you can see, hear, touch and smell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JDocMmxLOo
- Where can you find rainforests in the world? Label them on a world map
- Use Google Earth to explore some of the world’s rainforests
- What creatures can you find in the rainforest? Make sketches of them and then create factfiles about them: what they eat, where they live etc
- Watch the amazing David Attenborough in this clip and then go out and explore some of the plants in your surroundings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9MV5CgPgIQ
- Can you name the different parts of a plant? Draw a plant and label its parts.
- Did you know that plants have male and female parts? Watch the following clip and then create your own Adobe Spark video to describe plant reproduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqM6rgB_l_o
- Rainforests have various layers. Can you write a report to describe each layer? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zkdnvcw
- It’s not just creatures and plants in the rainforests…humans live there as well! What can you find out about them?
- The world’s rainforests are disappearing…why? Do your research and find out what is happening to them and use your creativity to produce a poster/Adobe Spark or PPT about what is happening and what can be done about it
- Paint your favourite rainforest creature
- Create a song about the rainforest
- Create a wire sculpture of your favourite rainforest creature
Summer 1
Hello 3B!
I hope you are really well – everyone at Ryelands is missing you very much. This half term we should have been learning all about The Stone Age to the Iron Age so I have a few questions for you to find out:
When was The Stone Age?
How did Stone Age people live?
What do we still have that we can use to find out about the Stone Age people?
How were the Stone Age and Iron Age people different?
What other metal age was there?
Can you be a little bit creative now?
Why don’t you have a go at one of the following things:
- Research stone age caves. Make your own cave out of any materials and of any size!
- Create stone age characters to go in your cave! Describe them and make up a story about them.
- Create a timeline of what happened during the Stone Age using your research!
- What is the best rock for making a cave? Why? Use this website to help you.
- https://www.theschoolrun.com/what-are-igneous-sedimentary-and-metamorphic-rocks
- Watch the Flintstones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oAnEiH_B5I
- What sort of clothes did they wear? Design your own stone age outfit.
- What jewellery did they wear? Create your own stone age jewellery. What is made of?
- What animals did they hunt? Draw one.
- What did they wear? Label a Stone Age person in their clothes
- What tools did they use and what were they made out of?
- Write a diary entry as a person living in the Stone age.
- Write instructions on how to make a shelter or a spear in the Stone Age.
- Research Stone Henge and make a visitors guide about it.
Other than that make sure you are reading everyday and practicing your handwriting. Can’t wait to see you all again! Stay safe!

Have fun!
Hello 3B!
Mrs Barker, Mrs Smith and Mr Atkinson are so sorry that we cannot all be together at the moment, but the main thing is that you all keep safe until we can be back at school again.
Make sure you look after each other during this time. Please do feel free to have a look at the websites below – they will keep you busy and keep those neurons ticking.
Don’t forget to keep reading and learning those times tables – we know how much you love BBC Supermovers!
You could also try making an Adobe Spark video to showcase what you are doing during this time away from school – take photos and upload them into an Adobe Spark.
Or, why not learn how to draw something via YouTube?
Miss Sharkey and I have also created a blog of ideas linked to your current topic – go onto 3S webpage to find it.
Loads to do!
Take good care and we will see you as soon as we can xxx
