Year 3 Home Learning Activities
Welcome to your Week 3 suggested time table.
On your timetable you will see a morning starter activity called ‘Warm up to learning’,
followed by a daily English lesson and a daily Maths lesson.
The daily Maths lessons are separate files and you will find these on the Year 3 Class Page.
On a separate page you will find ‘Topic Planning’ which includes lots of super activities for you to
choose from all with an Africa theme.
There are also five short additional activities (one for each day) which you could do in any order at the
start of a lesson. These include a two Maths activities with links to games about time, two short SPAG

The art of printing on clothing can be traced back to its roots in Africa, specifically to the region of Benin. They used Adinkra symbols that were designed to represent things such
as love, peace, happiness, health, etc.
See if you can get a plain t-shirt and make your own prints on it. We suggest you try
and use fabric paint so that your symbols do not disappear in the wash.
African Drumming Music
The djembe drum is said to have been invented
in the 12th Century by the Mandinke tribe in what is now Mali, in West Africa. It has been
played by West Africans for generations. Invent, develop and perform your own African rhythms. You might decide to make your own drum or practise your rhythms on a saucepan,
table or suitable surface.
Flags
Culture/Geography Each African country has its own flag of meaningful colours: green symbolises
growing things, yellow symbolises the sun, red the blood of the people, blue the sea,
white peace, and black the people or African freedom. Make your own flag
thinking about which colours that you have used signify to them. You could do this as a
collage, iPad drawing or painting.
Fables English/Drama
Fables are children’s stories that contain morals or lessons for the reader. They also often contain characters that are animals
with human characteristics. Think of stories such as the Tortoise and the Hare for
example. Can you write or even act out your own fable? What lesson would you like to give off? Perhaps look up some famous
fables first and read them to give you some ideas.
Country Fact File

countries on the continent of Africa? Can you choose one to make a fact file about? Learn

Food Chain and Habitats Science
Explore the African Savannah and find out how the animals and plants are connected in
different food chains.
Nelson Mandela History
Nelson Mandela has had a huge impact on
African history. Can you research all about
him and find out what amazing things he
did? Perhaps create a poster all about him
or simply tell an adult at home what you
have found out.
African Patterns
Art African clothing, bedding and fabrics are
often hugely colourful and display beautiful patterns.
Can you create your own colourful African
pattern to display somewhere in your home?
“Hello!” Languages
The most spoken language in Africa is Swahili. There are thought to be over 300 different languages being used across the
whole continent. Can you learn how to greet someone in lots of different Africa languages.
Here is one to get started... “Sawubona!”
African Dance
PE/Dance In Africa, as in other parts of the world,
ceremonial dance tells a story. More than mere entertainment, it recounts history, conveys
emotion, celebrates rites of passage, and helps to unify communities. There are many forms of
African dance which combine rhythmic body movements with music. Can you create your own African dance? Your dance could tell a
story, show your emotions or beliefs or

about. Some ideas for research: · Religion · Followers · Place of worship · Holy book ·

Week 3. Maths Activity1
Telling the time
Follow the link below to help you practice using a clock and
reading the time.
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/time/teaching-clock
This teaching resource helps children explore telling the time in both analogue and digital formats.
The digital clocks can be viewed in either the 12-hour or 24-hour format. Each of the three clocks can be set to show the current time, or any given am or pm time. Children can use it to read or set various times such as an hour earlier or later. Use it to quiz each other to find the time.
