Year 3 – Literacy
Can I research facts about Florence Nightingale?
Have you or your family ever been poorly and had to go to hospital? Did you
notice all the hard work the nurses were doing to care for the patients and help
them get better?
Today, nurses are recognised as important, super-skilled professionals. But
that hasn’t always been the case. Believe it or not, at the start of the 19th
century, nurses usually had no training at all, and they weren’t even paid for the
‘menial’ work they did! But one woman changed all that… the remarkable Florence
Nightingale.
Task: Research facts about Florence Nightingale in preparation for tomorrow’s
literacy activity (to write a biography about Florence Nightingale).
You might want to organise your research on a mind map like the one below:
Here are two websites you might want to look at:
http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/victorians/florence/index.htm
https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/history/general-history/florence-nightingale/
There is also a Purple Mash slideshow that is available as a 2Do - not compulsory
– it just has information that is quite easy to access.

Year 3 – Maths
Can I estimate and add?
Estimating
You can estimate the answer
to a problem by rounding the
numbers to ones that are
easier to deal with. That way,
when you’ve completed your
final calculation, you’ll know if
you’ve got a sensible answer.
Step 1: Round each number in
your calculation to the nearest
ten and answer the calculation.
This is my estimate so the
answer to my final calculation
must be near 50.
Step 2: Answer
the calculation.
47 is only three away
from my estimate so I
know my answer must
be sensible! If my final
answer was further
away from my estimate
then there might be a
problem!

Year 3 – Science
Can I create and label my own skeleton?
The functions of a skeleton are to support your body and to provide protection
to your internal organs. Your skeleton has a range of different joints (hinge, ball
and socket and gliding) which help you move.
Ball and socket joints allow the most freedom
of movement. One example in the human
skeleton is between the pelvis (hip) and femur
(upper leg bone).
Hinge joints allow flex and extend movements.
One example in the human skeleton is between
the humerus (upper arm bone) and radius/ulna
(lower
arm bones).
Gliding joints are also known as ‘plane’ joints. The bones are shaped to
glide over one another and allow for small limited movements in different
directions. One example in the human skeleton is the wrist bones.
Task: to create a human skeleton
For this activity you are going to look at the names of all our bones that form
our skeleton.
What you will need:
26 Cotton buds
Pen
Paper
Scissors
Glue
Coloured Card to glue the skeleton to
Please note: If you are unable to complete this activity because you do not have
the resources, get creative! You could make your skeleton out of any items you
have or just annotate the skeleton given on the next page.

Instructions:
1. Gather all your equipment.
2. Take your small piece of paper and draw an oval to represent the head.
Cut it out and place onto the card.
3. Next you will need 14 whole cotton buds, 7
cotton buds cut in half, 5 cotton buds cut very
small (see picture – cut just below where the
cotton starts)
4. Begin to form your skeleton using your cotton
buds. Keep adding the cotton buds using the
skeleton model on the next page as a guide.
5. Once you’re happy, begin to glue the pieces down.
6. Then using the labels given, annotate your skeleton’s bones and add
details to the skull and around the body.

Year 3 – Can I create a thank you card?
On the 12th of May every year it is
International Nurses Day. It is an event
that celebrates the contributions that
nurses make to society.
The International Council of Nurses, a
federation of more than 130 national
nurses associations, has celebrated
International Nurses Day since 1965 - it
is celebrated each year on May 12th as it
is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale.
Each year on May 12th, a special service is held in Westminster Abbey in
London. During the service, a symbolic lamp is taken from the Nurses' Chapel in the
Abbey and handed from one nurse to another, and then up to the Dean, who places it on
the High Altar. This signifies the passing of knowledge from one nurse to another and
is also a nod to Florence Nightingale's nickname, "The Lady with the Lamp".
At St Margaret's Church at East Wellow in Hampshire, where Florence Nightingale is
buried, a special service is also held on the Sunday after her birthday.
Today it is a rather special Nurses Day because it is Florence Nightingale’s bicentennial
(200th) year. It has been designated by World Health Organisation as the first ever
global Year of the Nurse and Midwife.
Nurses and midwives make up the largest numbers of the NHS workforce. They are
highly skilled, multi-faceted professionals from a range of diverse backgrounds, who do
so much for the community and the people they care for.
2020 is our time to reflect on these skills, the commitment and care they bring, and
the impact they make on the lives of so many. This year is also an opportunity to say
thank you to them for all that they do.
Task: To create a thank you card.
You may know somebody who is a nurse or midwife and choose to write it directly to
them or you might want to make a general one to all nurses and/or midwives. You might
want to add lots of colour/glitter and decorations to the front.
