Adding Suffixes Beginning with Vowel letters
Usually when adding a suffix, you keep the root word the same and just add the suffix…
The -e at the end of a root word is dropped before adding any suffix beginning with a vowel letter.
So –
carnivore + ous = carnivorous
When a word ends in a consonant and y, change the y to i before the suffix -ous is added.
So –
victory + ous = victorious
When a word ends with a vowel and y keep the y.
So –
joy + ous = joyous
If none of the other rules apply we just add -ous onto the ending.
So –
poison + ous = poisonous
mountain + ous = mountainous
There are some other rules for particulour spellings when you add –ous, can you work them out?
humour
glamour
vigour
courage
outrage
Do the quiz to support you in this!
Tuesday – Watch ‘The Wishgranter’ and answer the questions
Wednesday – Recap ‘The Wishgranter’. I’ve written the first part of the story. Write a different ending.
Thursday – Recap ‘The Wishgranter’. What would you wish for if you could put a coin in the fountain? Write a few paragraphs telling me all about it.
Friday – Recap ‘The Wishgranter’. What is the Wishgranter like as a character? Draw a picture of him and write adjectives around him; what he looks like AND what he is like as a person.

Topic –
Plants are living things.
There are 7 life processes that tell us if something is alive. The 7 life process are movement, respiration, growth, reproduction, excretion, nutrition and sensitivity. Plants do all 7 of these things. Plants need certain conditions to help them grow well.
Have you ever looked after a plant? What did you have to provide it with to help it to grow? What do you think plants need?
Today we are going to find out exactly what plants need to grow well.
Scientists find things out by setting up investigations and gathering results.
There are different types of investigation: fair tests, comparative tests, exploring and observing, finding patterns or sorting and classifying.
Scientists choose which type of investigation is best for what they are trying to find out.
This will be an exploring and observing investigation, so you can see what happens to your plants in different conditions.
We are going to use your plants to check what they need to grow well. Think of 4 different areas you can try and grow them.
Remember what we have learnt about fair tests! You could use pictures, words or both to explain your ideas on your Investigation Planner.
Don't forget to measure the height of your plant so that you can tell if it has grown taller at the end of the investigation.
Before setting an investigation up, scientists think about what they will find out. This is called ‘making a prediction’.
When you make a prediction, you say what you think will happen in your investigation.
Challenge: Can you explain why you predict this will happen?
Plan your investigation on your sheet…
When you are ready, collect your plant and set up your investigation!
You can use your Investigation Planner to help you remember what you need to do.
Make sure you are very careful when handling the plants. Always wash your hands after touching the plants.
Now your investigation is set up, you will need to watch your plants carefully.
When scientists look carefully at things, it is called ‘observing’, or ‘making an observation’.
Over the coming days, observe your plants regularly and see if you notice anything.
Draw a picture of them every few days and write a sentence about each. For example, you might write ‘This plant is growing well.’ or ‘This plant is wilting.’
When you have completed your observations, you will look at your results and think about what you found out.
RE –
We are learning about inspiring people. Watch ‘Moses and the Exodus’. Moses is an important figure in the Jewish religion. Write questions you would like to ask the characters and the answers they might give.
ART - Hello everyone. I hope you have had a lovely weekend and are looking forward to taking part in some creative activities this week. Have a look on your Year 3 Art Blog throughout the week for different ideas. There are also lots of ideas on the Whole School Art Blog that you could work on.

Friday – Adding Suffixes Beginning with Vowel Letters
There are some spelling rules we need to follow when adding suffixes that start with vowel letters to words containing more than one syllable.
As always, there are exceptions to these rules, but they are a good starting guide.
If you are adding one to a word that ends in a silent ‘e’, the word loses the silent ‘e’ when the suffix is added.
Like this:
bike + es = bikes
nice + est = nicest
hike + er = hiker
BUT NOT being
When a word ends in y, change the y to i before the suffix is added but not before ing.
Like this:
copy + er = copier
happy + est = happiest
The only main exceptions are skiing and taxiing.
If you add a suffix that begins with a vowel letter to a word:
ü that ends with one vowel and a consonant (e.g. –at, -en)
ü that has more than one syllable (e.g. hello)
ü where the last syllable of the word is stressed (e.g. forgot or channel)
The final consonant is doubled before the vowel suffix is added
Read all of this information, then do the activity. If you want to do more, try the extra challenge!
Have a go at the spelling games on Spelling Frame [https://spellingframe.co.uk/spelling-rule/3/Year-3-and-4] to practice the Year 3 and 4 words we are learning. Choose the words you are not so good at. When you click on the objective, you can play lots of games with them or test yourself!

Topic –
Life cycle of a plant
The life cycle of a flowering plant shows the changes that happen to the plant over the course of its lifetime.
The main stages of the life cycle of a flowering plant are:
- Germination - Germination is when a seed begins to grow.
- Growing and flowering - Once the seed has germinated the plant grows bigger and then forms flowers.
- Pollination – Pollination occurs when pollen from the anther is transferred to the stigma, often by an insect.
- Fertilisation and seed formation – Fertilisation happens when the pollen travels from the stigma down the style to the ovary.
The pollen joins with an ovule to form a seed. The seed forms inside the ovary.
- Seed dispersal - Once the seeds are fully formed, the plant needs to disperse them.
This means that the plant needs to move or transport the seeds away from the parent plant in some way so that they don't all try to grow in the same place.
There are lots of different ways that seeds can be dispersed.
Now you have read all about it – put the life cycle in order using the activity sheet.
If you haven’t already, please also plant your seeds. You have hopefully got some cress, mung beans or some marigold seeds. You need to half fill four pots with soil or plant them in the garden if you have space. Make sure they are covered with soil or compost. Make sure you water them every day, especially in this lovely weather. We will need them for an experiment when they start to grow! You will need four plants.
Once you have planted them, if they are in pots, put them in a warm place to grow.

Topic –
Parts of a flower
Have you ever wondered why plants have flowers?
You have probably all seen flowers before.
But do you know what the different parts of a flower are for?
This lesson will help you find out!
The flower’s job is to create seeds so that new plants can be grown.
Flowers are made up of lots of parts that work together to make seeds.
Each part of the flower has a special job to do in order to make seeds.
The video on the website below will help you remember the different parts of the flower. Try to remember what each part does.
Once you have watched the video, complete your Parts of a Flower Activity Sheet.
Pollination occurs when pollen from the anther is transferred to the stigma.
Insects like bees and butterflies are attracted to the bright colours of the petals and the sweet scent of the flower.
They visit the flower to drink a sweet liquid called nectar.
When an insect goes into the flower to drink the nectar, some grains of pollen brush off the anthers onto their body.
When the insect visits another flower for more nectar, the grains of pollen transfer from the insect's body to the sticky stigma of the new flower.
This is pollination.
The pollen on the stigma then travels down the style towards the ovary.
Once it reaches the ovary, the pollen joins with an ovule.
The ovule can then grow into a seed. This is known as fertilisation.
Once you have read the information, do the ‘Pollination Process’ sheet!
If you haven’t already, please also plant your seeds. You have hopefully got some cress, mung beans or some marigold seeds. You need to half fill four pots with soil or plant them in the garden if you have space. Make sure they are covered with soil or compost. Make sure you water them every day, especially in this lovely weather. We will need them for an experiment when they start to grow! You will need four plants.
Once you have planted them, if they are in pots, put them in a warm place to grow.

Topic – Water transportation in plants
The process of water transportation is the way water moves through a plant.
The roots absorb water from the soil.
The stem transports water to the leaves.
Water evaporates from the leaves.
This evaporation causes more water to be sucked up the stem.
The water is sucked up the stem like water being sucked up through a straw.
Scientists investigate the way processes work in lots of ways. A scientist used food colouring travelling through plant stems to see water transportation. Her experiment showed these things:
- The hotter the weather, the faster the water is transported.
- Flowers in warmer places change colour first.
- Flowers in cold places change colour slowly.
- The coldest places cause water to be transported slowly.
She used three flowers and put them in different places. Can you draw and label the experiment she might’ve done? Remember, in Science week we learnt about how important a fair test was…. you have to keep lots of things the same so you are only testing what you want to!
Art - Log onto the Gomersal Primary Art blog for Year 3 and choose an activity Year 3 Art

PSHE – We are looking at different types of jobs this week. What is a job?
- If you get paid a salary, this is
when you are told the amount of money you will earn in one year. You will normally receive the same amount of pay every month in your bank account. - Some people get paid an hourly rate, when you earn a set amount for every hour that you work. The more hours you work, the more pay you’ll receive.
- You can get paid piece work – this is when you’re paid a set amount for every item you make. The more items you produce, the more you’ll be paid.
- Sometimes people get commission – this is mostly for sales jobs, when you receive a share of all the sales you make. Often you will get commission as an extra on top
of your salary.
What types of jobs do you know of?]
Do you know which jobs are well paid?

Topic
We are starting our Topic all about plants. Today, we are learning about the different parts of a plant. Do you already know the answer to these questions?
What do the roots do?
What does the flower do?
What does the stem do?
What do the leaves do?
Roots
Where do we find the roots of a plant?
They grow underneath a plant, below the surface of the soil. Roots are usually long and are covered in small hairs.
What do you think their jobs are?
The roots anchor the plant in the ground. They absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Stem
What is a stem or trunk?
Branches, leaves and flowers grow from the stem or trunk. A trunk is woody, and often has a layer of bark around it.
What job does it do?
The stem or trunk holds the plant up. It also carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
Leaves
What do they look like?
Leaves can be all different shapes and sizes. If a plant has leaves all year round it is called an evergreen. If it keeps growing year after year it is called a perennial.
What job do leaves do?
The leaves make food for the plant using sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air.
Flowers
What do they look like?
Flowers can be all shapes and sizes. Flowers are brightly coloured to attract insects and birds.
Do you know what the flower’s job is?
The insects collect pollen from the flower then carry it to other flowers. Flowers use the pollen to make seeds to grow new plants.
Now is your chance to show what you have learnt!
Your job is to create a folding leaflet to explain the function of the different parts of a plant. Make sure it has a mixture of writing and pictures.

Conjunctions, as you know, join two parts of a sentence together. They do lots of different jobs. Today we are looking at conjunctions which express time and cause. How many can you think of?
Do the activity sheet I’ve put on above.
Topic
DON’T FORGET TO HAVE SOME SEEDS READY FOR OUR PLANTS TOPIC: CRESS OR BEANSPROUTS [MUNG BEANS] OR MARIGOLDS WOULD WORK WELL!!!]
Making shadows
Light is a beam of energy that travels in a wave from a source.
A wave of light can only travel in a straight line.
Waves of light are called light rays.
Try this activity to demonstrate how light travels:
- Punch holes in the centre of three equal-sized pieces of card.
- Hold the pieces of card so that the holes line up.
- Shine a torch so that the beam of light can travel straight through the holes.
What happens if you move one of the pieces of card so the holes don't line up?
When you moved one of your pieces of card so the holes did not line up, the card blocked the ray of light. This is because light can only travel in a straight line, so it can not travel around the card.
Some objects, like the card, block light well and don't let any get through. These objects are called opaque.
Other things let some light through, but scatter the light so we can't see through them properly. These things are called translucent.
Transparent objects let light travel through them easily.
Can you think of some items that are opaque, translucent and
transparent?
Opaque, translucent and transparent materials are all useful for different things. Look at the items below and decide which type of material would be best for each one:
bathroom window living room curtains car windscreen
sun hat window with a great view shower curtain
Opaque objects do not let any light through.
They completely block the light and stop it travelling any further.
These objects create shadows.
Shadows are areas of darkness where light has been blocked.
A boy called Isaac has a new baby sister.
She is a very good baby, but she keeps crying early in the morning because too much light is getting into her bedroom and waking her up.
Isaac wants to choose the best material to make some new curtains for her bedroom.
He wants to make sure that her new curtains block as much light as possible.
Can you help him?
Test different materials around your house to see which let the least light through. Record whether the materials you have tested are opaque, translucent or opaque in a table. Draw and label the curtains with the material you have chosen for the curtains.

We are going to write our own fairy tale this week.
Find a 'Story Mountain', draw your own or print out the one I've uploaded. Decide how your story is going to go.
Remember, in a fairy tale the characters are usually royal people/ magical animals and the story usually has a happy ending. It needs to be set in magical places like forests or castles: NOT SPACE! Think carefully what the problem will be - make it exciting and fun!
Topic
Sun safety
Have you ever been told not to look at the sun?
Is the sun good or bad?
The statements below are all things that the sun does.
Decide if each makes the Sun good or bad:
Causes sunburn
Causes wrinkles
Helps plants make food
Can cause skin cancer
Provides warmth
Makes people happier
Is a source of Light
Damages your eyes
Helps people make Vitamin D
To protect your skin from UV rays, you can cover up or wear sun cream.
But what can you do to protect your eyes?
There are several things you should do to protect your eyes from the sun or other bright lights.
- You should wear sunglasses when out in the sun. Sunglasses have a UV rating to show how well they block UV rays. Make sure you get sunglasses with a high UV rating.
- Some sunglasses don't have a UV rating - these are really just toy sunglasses and don't protect your eyes. In fact, because they have dark lenses but no UV filter, the pupil opens wider, actually letting in more UV rays!
Now you know how the sun can damage your eyes, and how to protect your eyes.
Your task is to design a pair of sunglasses or a hat that will protect someone's eyes from the harmful effects of the sun.
You should also advertise your sun protection item!
Tell your customers why they need to buy your sunglasses or hat.
Explain about the effects of the sun, and how your sunglasses or hat can help protect against them.

Today we are learning how to make words plural. There are lots of rules in English, but NEVER using apostrophes!
Do the activities on the sheet above.
Topic
Today we are learning all about mirrors.
Some surfaces reflect light better than others.
The surfaces that reflect light best are smooth, shiny and flat.
This is because the light rays bounce off these surfaces at the same angle.
If light hits a rough surface, the light rays all bounce off at different angles, meaning the light is scattered. It does not reflect well.
The most familiar type of mirror is a plain mirror, which has a flat surface.
Plain mirrors are commonly made of a flat, polished piece of glass with a shiny metal backing, such as silver or aluminium.
The light reflected by a mirror preserves most of the characteristics of the original light, so it creates a clear image.
An image in a mirror appears to be reversed. For example, if you look in a mirror and raise your right hand, the mirror image appears to raise its left hand.
Either on your own, or find a helper [a brother/ sister or a parent], write some messages backwards using a mirror to help for them to read. Draw a maze for them to trace a line through only looking in a mirror - it's not as easy as it looks!
Then fill in the activity sheet above or write about what you did in your book.
