IAA Primary Curriculum Guide Grade 3 Term 3
Welcome to Term 3 It’s the Summer term. The weather is getting warmer and all of the end of year fun with Trips week and Sports day is about to begin. However, there is still plenty of work to be done. In the pages that follow you will find the units that your child will study this term along with the expectations at the end of each unit. Not every child progresses at the same rate so please compare your child’s ability at the end of the unit to what he or she could do at the start. If you have any questions about your child’s levels of attainment, please speak to the class teacher, who is the person who know your child best of all.
Literacy We will focus on two specific genres this term: Narrative and Non-fiction Narrative • Stories set in imaginary worlds • Stories from other cultures Non-Fiction • Explanation texts • Information texts We follow the Renewed Primary Framework for England.

Homework In Primary, the day is quite intense for children working in two languages. For this reason we limit our homework to 20 minutes per day in Grade 3. We suggest: • 10 minutes - reading • 3minutes - spelling • 7 minutes – completing homework sheet/finishing off If you would like to further consolidate this term’s work we would suggest: www.bbc.co.uk/schools/bitesize www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk We also suggest the CGP books: www.cgpbooks.co.uk
