Y3/4 statutory words list (depending on which list you are

working from) children in 3M with small red books, you

have your spellings for the next 6 weeks in the back of the

red book)

If possible children find a small plant or weed from outside or inside and take a closer look at it. Can they draw it in their book and label its parts. I have included a sheet to help you the names and spellings of each part of the plant.

Optional mini investigation

Simple test - How can we prove that stems transport water?

Place a white carnation and a stick of celery into separate containers of water. Add a dark food colouring like red or blue to the water and mark the water level on the container. Over the next several days observe what happens to the plants and the water. You may want to mark the water level each day. As the water level goes down the petals of the carnation and the leaves of the celery will begin to change to the colour of the food colourings. Recording

Draw each of the stems before and after they have been placed in the water/dye mixture. The children could also record the height of the water each day. They can explain what they think has happened.

Day 2. For concrete objects children could use pieces of coloured paper cut into squares or coloured sweets or cereal ?

The children can draw this as an array as they have been learning about arrays, so for 30 children, they would need 30 objects and put the sweets in to rows of 5. We know

that there are 5 groups . We can then draw rows of 5. The we look at how many in one row, which would be one fifth and as there are 4 fifths we multiply the one fifth by 5 to

get the answer.
