EXPECTATIONS (Ed. Leeds) Consent slips/parental contributions Behaviour and implications

The Curriculum in Year 3 Literacy expectations Reading- -Continue with Accelerated Reader -Success last year -Greater independence from the children in Year 3 -Range of texts -Change books- opportunity after each quiz has been taken

Writing-composition Build on skills from Year 2 -Wider range of punctuation ?,! Plan their writing by: discussing writing similar to that which they are planning to write in order to understand and learn from its structure, vocabulary and grammar Spelling- -Common Exception words for Year 3 -write from memory simple sentences, dictated by the teacher, that include words and punctuation taught so far.

Numeracy- Mastery -Greater emphasis now in mastery of the maths curriculum -Ability to reason and explain is of much greater importance within the curriculum now How can you help your child? Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division I can add a 1 digit number to a 3 digit number mentally. I can subtract a 1 digit number from a 3 digit number mentally. I know the 3, 4, 6 and 8 times tables. I know the division facts for the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 times tables. I can double a 2 digit number. I can halve a 2 digit number. Number and place value I can count to 1000 forwards and back in 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s from any given number. I can find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number. I can give the value of each digit in a three digit number. Decimals, fractions and percentages I can add and subtract using money. I can count in tenths. I can add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, where the answer is not more than 1. Shape I can recognise that an angle is the gap created when two lines cross or meet. I can recognise a right angle, angles less then right angles (acute angles) and angles larger than right angles but less than 180 degrees (obtuse angles). I can recognise and draw parallel lines.
