Term 6
Maths
In term 6, we will begin by looking at properties of shape. We will start be revisiting previous learning from year 2, before looking at angles and turns and then moving on to focus on measuring and drawing accurately. To finish this block, we will be developing our understanding of both 2D and 3D shapes by looking more closely at their properties and introducing the word 'polygon' as a way to describe a closed shape with 3 or more sides.
For the final block of year 3, we will focus on statistics. During this block, the children will learn to read and interpret data from a range of graphs and charts including pictograms, bar charts and line graphs. Finally, they will collect their own data and represent this in the same formats.
English
In Term 6, or text will be "A Planet Full of Plastic" by Neal Layton. This book links perfectly to our Science learning for this term of recycling and protecting the environment. This will be a change from the other books we have read this year and will be our first non-fiction text.
We will be using this text to pull in all the skills we have learned this year to create leaflets and writing to persuade. We will also take part in a class debate to argue for change over the way we treat our planet.
History and Geography
In Term 6, we will continue with a Geography based theme. This term our theme is 'Natural Disasters'. We will begin with looking at the difference between natural and human disasters, before moving on to look at Volcanos, Earthquakes and Hurricanes.
For each of these natural disasters, we will be learning how they happen and where in the world they occur. We will focus on map reading skills and use our new knowledge to plot the areas of the world most susceptible to disasters.
To finish the term, we will be imagining what it would be like to live through a natural disaster and our last lesson will focus on designing a survival kit for each of the disasters we have learned about.
