As you are aware, Martin Luther King, Jr. played a key role in the American civil rights movement.

This was not easy for Martin Luther King, Jr. as he was arrested and even his house was bombed! Pretty severe for a bloke wanting to change the world for the better.

In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. helped to organise the famous “March on Washington”. Over 250,000 people attended this march in an effort to show the importance of civil rights legislation. Some of the issues the march hoped to accomplish included an end to segregation in public schools, protection from police abuse, and to get laws passed that would prevent discrimination in employment.

It was at this march where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech. This speech has become one of the most famous speeches in history. The March on Washington was a great success. The Civil Rights Act was passed a year later in 1964.

Below is a video of the famous speech.

Here are a few questions to think about. You could discuss them with an adult in your home.

  • What did you notice about the way he spoke?
  • Discuss the message – What was he talking about?
  • What was his vision for the future?
  • Has this happened?
  • Was this fair for Martin Luther King, Jr. to want as a right?

Martin Luther King, Jr. played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid 1950s until his assassination in 1968. Martin Luther King, Jr. is considered one of the greatest public speakers of modern times and his speeches still inspire many to this day.

I would like you to present as much information on Martin Luther King, Jr. as you can. You could record yourself speaking, create a PowerPoint or Word document, you could also present it as a word-map or fact file, it is your choice!

Below are some helpful resources to get you started on Martin Luther King, Jr.

Unit 3: World-Changers!

Posted on by

In this unit we are going to learn about people who wanted to change the world for the better, through their strong beliefs.

Now, you would like to think that you would be forgiven for thinking that trying to change the world for the better would make you very popular! No, these people had to endure violence, threats and even prison to make the changes they believed in!

In America (1960s), unprivileged or uneducated people had to pass a test in order to vote. The tests were mainly administered to black voters. The tests were almost impossible to pass and had the intent to disenfranchise black voters.

Below is an example of a test, The Louisiana Literacy Test and to be honest, it doesn’t test your literacy skills at all! Have a go at the test and see how you get on…

You have 10 minutes to complete it!

Once you have completed the test, you could test an adult, brother or sister.

You could also create your own test and upload it to the blog for your classmates to have a go at or you could administer it on an adult at home.

Click the download link to download the Louisiana Literacy Test.

Remember to let us know how you get on and what you think to the Louisiana Literacy Test. Do you think it’s a fair test? How did you feel sitting the test?

[embeddoc url=”https://birdwellyear3.edublogs.org/files/2020/07/The-State-of-Louisiana-test-1.pdf” download=”all” viewer=”google” ]

Here are the possible answers for the Louisiana test.

Demi’s Stone Age work

THE STONE AGE

By Demi Crookes

Around 2.6 million years ago the stone age began, During the stone age our ancestors wore animal skin and wool during cold months and linen during warmer months. Cave men wore an item of clothing called loincloth which was made from linen/cloth.

Our ancestors would eat seasonal foods like fruit, berry’s, nuts, eggs, and fish. They would hunt for animals using tools that they would make from stone. Special treats would be honey collected from the beehive’s this would have tasted so sweet to them.

The stone age was thousands of years ago when people lived in caves and jungles. Life was simple and there wasn’t  much to do, they didn’t have computer or tv’s  and the main thing to do through the day was make tools and gather food, however, protecting themselves from wild animals  was there main priority.

People from the stone age had big beards they wore fur from the animal’s they had hunted, and they had clubs which they made from stone.

The stone age started around 30,000BCE and lasted 3.4 million years approximately, the stone age was divided into 3 periods and ended around 3,000BCE. It was called the stone age because the main material used was stone to make tools to help our ancestor’s SURVIVE!!!

Topic challenge: Weapon making

Posted on by

This week’s topic challenge is to create your own Stone Age weapon! Below is a brilliant video covering the Stone Age era, can you pick out any important information about the weapons?

During the Stone Age, people used sharpened sticks for hunting and protection purposes, they were vital for survival in the Stone Age. They were also used to hunt certain animals like wolves, foxes, bears, deer, hyena and much more.

Check out the weapons that have already been made… maybe you could do something similar?

Cave Art Comes Alive! | Stone age activities, Stone age tools ...Stone Age Tools – Hillside Primary School | Baddeley Green ...Stone Age Craft - How to make a Paper Axe - Red Ted Art - Make ...

 

 

You could design your Stone Age weapon on paper first, labelling the key parts of it. Next, you could manufacture the weapon by using cardboard, sticks, string, rocks or any other household items – just get your parents permission first!

I’m looking forward to seeing them!

We have been busy doing lots of fun things aswell as learning. I’m really enjoying learning about space, we have started the Stone Age topic too, I did a timeline. Mummy says she can’t keep up with my maths skills and that I am really clever. We have done lots of walking and taken pictures of butterflies and a bee that was having a rest.

I’m missing everyone.
CS

Hello :D,

I’m glad you have been enjoying the space work and have been learning lots, I can’t wait to hear all about it. The Stone Age timeline sounds interesting, we would have done something similar to that in class!

Topic challenge: Hunter gatherers

Posted on by

The Stone Age people were known as hunter-gatherers. This means that instead of growing their food, they went out and found it. The hunter-gatherers travelled from place to place in search of the best hunting grounds, living in temporary shelters.

Later in the Stone Age, the humans learnt how to grow their own crops and began to settle in one place. These people were known as the first farmers.

Challenge: The next time you go on your family walk, gather or list EVERYTHING that you would be prepared to eat if you were a hungry hunter-gatherer living in the Stone Age! Berries, nuts, seeds, mice, BIRDS!? Everything you see.

Put together a caveman menu using ONLY what you found on your walk… let’s see if you found enough to keep you going…

Art competition

Posted on by

Good morning everyone, the work you have done on the art competition is fabulous. You have obviously spent a great deal of time working on these to create these images. I am so impressed and it has been an utter delight for myself and the rest of the staff to see these. They are so bright, colourful and detailed and using lots of different medium.

There have been so many to look through so it has been very challenging indeed to make a final decision. Well done to everyone who took part, however, there can only be one winner and that is Toby in Y4 for his lovely and accurate drawing of Mrs Buckley.

Thank you once again to everyone who took part and had a go, it has been so lovely to see your art work.

New Term, New Topic!

Posted on by

This week, we would normally be starting our new topic:

Could you survive the Stone Age?

So Mr. Swallow and I thought it would be a good idea to find out about, what life was like in the Stone Age.  What did our ancient ancestors wear, eat and shelter in? Are they really like they are portrayed in films? Hairy and strong, wearing fur and hitting things with clubs? When was the Stone Age? Why was it called the Stone Age? What was the world like back then?

Hello from Mr Bailey

Posted on by

Good morning Year 3 Class. I hope you and your families are keeping well and safe. I have been looking through the wonderful learning that you have been doing at home over the last few weeks. The Mathletics challenges, crafts, baking – oops about the eggs, getting out into the countryside and using it to create lovely, natural candle holders and planters, lovely colourful crafts, story writing exercising, book reviews, the list is endless and it has been amazing to see. I just want to say how much we are missing you at school, I keep checking in with staff and they are all happy and safe and are just missing having you all around. We will get back to normal eventually so just enjoy all the times you are able to have together with your family, reading and going for walks and just talking about things around you. These are such special times that you may not get the opportunity to do again when things are back to normal.  Take care, keep safe, keep smiling and keep putting your wonderful learning experiences up on the school BLOG they are so lovely to see. I am so proud of you all. Take care, see you all soon.

Spellings

Hi Year 3,

I have attached 2 weeks’ worth of spellings.

It is important that you know what the words mean too. Maybe you could practise them in your working-from-home book by using similar activities to the ones we do in our orange spelling books in class. You could even even get someone to test you on them next week or play some spelling hangman.

Working from home

Posted on by

A huge thank you to everyone who has posted on the blog, I have really enjoyed reading through them all. It’s so strange being in school without you all, very quiet too!

As the blog is being updated with new content each week, it can be difficult to keep track of the different tasks set and the online activities you can try so I have created this sticky post (that means it will always stay at the top of the blog) to help us keep track of everything. When new content is added, I will add them to this post too.

Challenges – Stone Age topic

Online activities

However, it is equally important to spend time with your family. Get outside (when you can), bake, draw, paint, help around the house and all the other things that are fun ways to spend your time doing! We don’t know how long this way of working will last but let’s make the most of it!

Take care of yourselves and keep me updated with what you get up to at home. You can email me too: a.mathieson@birdwellprimary.org.uk

Make your own potion – Home challenge

Posted on by

As George’s grandmother is a nasty piece of work, he decides to punish her by making a magic medicine to replace her old one.

George collects a variety of ingredients from around the family farm including deodorant and shampoo from the bathroom, floor polish from the laundry room, horseradish sauce and gin from the kitchen, animal medicines, engine oil and anti-freeze from the garage, and brown paint to mimic the colour of the original medicine.

George’s grandmother drinks the medicine and turns enormous. She grows that big that she ends up being out of the roof!

Your challenge is to get creative and make your own potion (do not go stealing your dad’s beers or your mum’s nail polish!)

You could present your work by using pictures or a labelled diagram of your potion. I would also like you to tell me what your potion would do if somebody drank it.

Have fun Year 3! Missing you.

It has been great to hear from some of you.

It is clear that you are enjoying Joe Wicks’ PE sessions first thing in a morning and what a brilliant way to start the day!

Children in Need 2019

Posted on by

Today, we took part in lots of fun and exciting activities, dressed up in our pyjamas… COSY!

The day included: taking part in the Joe Wicks activity challenge, streamed live from the BBC; designing your own fundraising activity for Mr Swallow to take part in, something that we found very funny as he had NO idea about them – the children did a great job of going under-cover whenever he came to pay us a visit!

Well done Y3, you made Children in Need lots of fun and we had a great day! We contributed to the £185 raised by school.

The enchanted hot chocolate!

Today we drank something that we haven’t tasted before. It was something very sweet, foamy and creamy. It warmed us right down to our toes. It was the most delicious hot chocolate ever! We also ate something very sweet with a light centre; the best Turkish delight!

Little to our knowledge the hot chocolate was enchanted by the Queen… now we must get the chocolate out of the water!

Stayed tuned to see what happens…
