Learning in Year 3

Hi All,

During parents evening, a few people asked me about what their children would be learning in Year 3 as they wanted to make a start over the summer break (great idea!)

I have compiled a list below that should help.

These are the objectives that will be covered in Maths when you start Year 3.

Solve one–step and two–step problems involving numbers, money or measures, including time, choosing and carrying out appropriate calculations
Describe and explain methods, choices and solutions to puzzles and problems, orally and in writing, using pictures and diagrams
Read, write and order whole numbers to at least 1000 and position them on a number line; count on from and back to zero in single–digit steps or multiples of 10
Partition three–digit numbers into multiples of 100, 10 and 1 in different ways
Round two–digit or three–digit numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 and give estimates for their sums and differences
Derive and recall all addition and subtraction facts for each number to 20, sums and differences of multiples of 10 and number pairs that total 100
Add or subtract mentally combinations of one–digit and two–digit numbers
Develop and use written methods to record, support or explain addition and subtraction of two–digit and three–digit numbers
Derive and recall multiplication facts for the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 times–tables and the corresponding division facts; recognise multiples of 2, 5 or 10 up to 1000
Multiply one–digit and two–digit numbers by 10 or 100, and describe the effect
Use practical and informal written methods to multiply and divide two–digit numbers (e.g. 13×3, 50÷4); round remainders up or down, depending on the context

And for English, some of the objectives are:

Write sentences in the order that they have been planned.     

Group related material into paragraphs.          
Organise ideas and related points into paragraphs.
Make language choices appropriate to different text types. Consider and select from alternative choices.
Use specific vocabulary, varying nouns, verbs and adjectives.
Use a developing range of adjectives, adverbs, verbs and nouns in writing to engage the reader.
Begin to demonstrate consistency in the use of first or third person and tense when writing simple sentences.           
Use a range of verbs, nouns and adjectives for impact.            
Use a range of adjectives, adverbs, verbs, nouns and noun phrases in writing and consider the impact on the reader.
Identify key themes and give reasons for events in stories, selecting relevant information from the text.
Identify basic features of writers’ use of language, e.g. where language is used to create mood and build tension.
Discuss the actions of main characters and justify views with reference to the text.
Locate relevant information to find answers to simple questions.
Show awareness of and use a range of organisation features.
Show understanding of and identify the main point of a section of text. Extract information from the text.

 

My lovely 2B....

Dear 2B,

How are you? I hope you are all happy, working hard and having fun with Mrs Spaans. At the moment I'm in Durham. Can you find out some facts about Durham Cathedral?

Miss you all!

Miss W :)

This way, that way

This week, we have been giving directions to each other. Building on what we learnt in Year 1 (forwards, backwards, sideways), we have learnt to use words, such as: left, right, clockwise, anti-clockwise, quarter turn, half turn...

Can you give directions from your bathroom to the kitchen? Think carefully...
