Over the next half term, Year 3 will be starting our unit of work in our science topic ‘Shake It’.
This unit of work is part of the International Primary Curriculum. This curriculum
sets out very clearly what children will learn – the learning goals – in three different
areas:
1. The subjects of the curriculum. The learning goals for each of these subjects are at least as challenging as anything taught in the curriculum. In many cases, the learning goals are more challenging.
2. Personal development – the characteristics which will help children become more responsible, independent learners.
3. International understanding – which will help children develop both a sense of the independence of their own country and culture and the interdependence between countries and cultures.
