Year 3 Summer Block 4

Here are some of the key concepts and skills taught in this block:

1. Turns and Angles: children learn about different types of turns, including quarter turns, half turns, three-quarter turns, and full turns. They also explore angles, such as right angles (90 degrees), and begin to understand the concept of measuring and comparing angles.
2. 2D and 3D Shapes: children recognise and describe various 2D shapes, including triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and circles. They also explore 3D shapes, such as cubes, cuboids, pyramids, and spheres, and learn to describe their properties and characteristics.
3. Lines and their Properties: Students identify and distinguish between horizontal, vertical, parallel, and perpendicular lines. They learn to recognize these types of lines in various contexts and describe their characteristics and relationships.

The aim of this block is to develop children’s understanding of geometric shapes and their properties, as well as their ability to describe and compare different angles and lines.
