Happy New Year and details of Jan' week 1

Happy New Year! I do hope that you have enjoyed a fantastic holiday and that Father Christmas was kept appropriately busy at your house!

Welcome back to school. We have another busy week of exciting learning planned.

As a mini-project in English (with links to Humanities), we will be finding out about myths and legends; starting with some from ancient Greece. This project will reach a finale with the children writing their own stories in the style of ancient myth. (- So, that's heroes on quests that defeat monsters on the way with the help of little bit of magic! - I love this project!)

For our learning in Mathematics in the first week, we will be studying "Shape":
The learning objectives of the Year 3 curriculum are listed below:    
Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials.
Recognise 3-D shapes in
different orientations and describe them.
Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn.
Identify right angles and recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn .
 Identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle.  
Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines.
See you Monday,
Mr. MacBean
