The New Year 3 Curriculum

Work Expectations in Year 3 By the end of Year 3 children should achieve level 3C in Maths, Reading and Writing. By the end of Year 3 children should be using joined handwriting for all their written work. They should have a written method of calculation that they are comfortable with, to add, subtract, multiple and divide.

Supporting your child at home. Daily reading aloud to an adult (no matter what age or ability). To ask them lots of questions about what they’ve read to check their understanding. Read to your children – this models good reading and enables them to access more difficult texts. Spellings Ensure your child learns their spellings AND encourage them to understand the meanings and be able to use these in sentences. Being a good speller is not just scoring well in tests, it’s applying it to written work. Maths Help your child learn their times tables – They need to know the number sentence as well as being able to count in 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10s. Using a watch or analogue clock to tell the time. Using money – get your child to pay for items and check the change.
