YEAR 3 MATHSWeek beginning: Monday 18th May

Dear parents

After the first lesson, this week’s home learning tasks will build on the children’s understanding of the properties of shapes. Their clocks will come in very handy in order to firstly understand the concept of angles. They will work through turns, clockwise and anti-clockwise, compass directions and then naming and identifying particular angles in regular shapes. There will be more on this topic after half term.

Please keep in touch via the year 3 email address if there is anything you would like to share with us: year3@charlton.vale-academy.org

Happy learning, stay safe and we hope to see you soon

Best wishes

Mrs. Gillam, Mrs. Stead and Miss Smith
