Year 3 End f Year Expectatins Reading, Writing and Maths Year 3 Reading Wrd reading Apply their grwing knwledge f rt wrds, prefixes and suffixes (etymlgy and mrphlgy) as listed in Appendix 1 f the Natinal Curriculum, bth t read alud and t understand the meaning f new wrds they meet. Read further exceptin wrds, nting the unusual crrespndences between spelling and sund, and where these ccur in the wrd. Cmprehensin cntinued Understand what they read, in bks they can read independently, by: checking that the text makes sense t them, discussing their understanding and explaining the meaning f wrds in cntext asking questins t imprve their understanding f a text Cmprehensin Develp psitive attitudes t reading and understanding f what they read by: drawing simple inferences such as inferring characters feelings, thughts and mtives frm their actins, and justifying inferences with evidence listening t and discussing a wide range f fictin, petry, plays, nn-fictin and reference bks r textbks reading bks that are structured in different ways and reading fr a range f purpses using dictinaries t check the meaning f wrds that they have read predicting what might happen frm details stated and implied identifying main ideas drawn frm mre than ne paragraph and summarising these identifying hw language, structure, and presentatin cntribute t meaning increasing their familiarity with a wide range f bks, including fairy stries, myths and legends, and retelling sme f these rally identifying themes and cnventins in a wide range f bks preparing pems and play scripts t read alud and t perfrm, shwing sme understanding thrugh intnatin, tne, vlume and actin discussing wrds and phrases that capture the reader s interest and imaginatin recgnising sme different frms f petry [fr example, free verse, narrative petry] Retrieve and recrd infrmatin frm nn-fictin. Participate in discussin abut bth bks that are read t them and thse they can read fr themselves, taking turns and listening t what thers say.
Year 3 Writing Spelling Use further prefixes and suffixes and understand hw t add them (Natinal Curriculum English Appendix 1). Spell further hmphnes. Spell wrds that are ften misspelt (Natinal Curriculum Appendix 1). Place the pssessive apstrphe accurately in wrds with regular plurals [fr example, girls, bys ] and in wrds with irregular plurals [fr example, children s]. Use the first tw r three letters f a wrd t check its spelling in a dictinary. Write frm memry simple sentences, dictated by the teacher, that include wrds and punctuatin taught s far. Handwriting Use the diagnal and hrizntal strkes that are needed t jin letters and understand which letters, when adjacent t ne anther, are best left unjined. Increase the legibility, cnsistency and quality f their handwriting [fr example, by ensuring that the dwnstrkes f letters are parallel and equidistant; that lines f writing are spaced sufficiently s that the ascenders and descenders f letters d nt tuch]. Cmpsitin Plan their writing by: discussing writing similar t that which they are planning t write in rder t understand and learn frm its structure, vcabulary and grammar discussing and recrding ideas Draft and write by: cmpsing and rehearsing sentences rally (including dialgue), prgressively building a varied and rich vcabulary and an increasing range f sentence structures see Appendix 2 f the Natinal Curriculum rganising paragraphs arund a theme in narratives, creating settings, characters and plt in nn-narrative material, using simple rganisatinal devices [fr example, headings and sub-headings] Evaluate and edit by: assessing the effectiveness f their wn and thers writing and suggesting imprvements prpsing changes t grammar and vcabulary t imprve cnsistency, including the accurate use f prnuns in sentences Prf-read fr spelling and punctuatin errrs. Read alud their wn writing, t a grup r the whle class, using apprpriate intnatin and cntrlling the tne and vlume s that the meaning is clear. Vcabulary, grammar and punctuatin Wrd Frm nuns using a range f prefixes [e.g. anti-, aut-]. Use a r an accrding t whether the next wrk begins with a cnsnant r vwel. Identify and use wrd families based n cmmn wrds, shwing hw wrds are related in frm and meaning, [e.g. slve, slutin, slver, disslve, insluble] Sentence Express time, place and cause using cnjunctins [e.g. when, befre, after, while, s, because]; adverbs [e.g. then, next, sn, therefre]; r prepsitins [e.g. befre, after, during, in, because f] Extend sentences with mre than ne clause by using a wider range f cnjunctins, including when, if, because, althugh Text Start t use paragraphs t grup related material. Use headings and sub-headings t aid presentatin. Use the present perfect frm f verbs instead f the simple past [e.g. He has gne ut t play vs He went ut t play]. Punctuatin Begin t use inverted cmmas t punctuate direct speech.
Terminlgy fr pupils Prepsitin, cnjunctin, wrd family, prefix, clause, subrdinate clause, direct speech, cnsnant, cnsnant letter vwel, vwel letter, inverted cmmas/speech marks.
Year 3 Maths Number and place value Cunt frm 0 in multiples f 4, 8, 50 and 100; find 10 r 100 mre r less than a given number. Recgnise the place value f each digit in a three-digit number (hundreds, tens, nes). Cmpare and rder numbers up t 1000. Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representatins. Read and write numbers up t 1000 in numerals and in wrds. Slve number prblems and practical prblems invlving these ideas. Number additin and subtractin Add and subtract numbers mentally, including: Number Fractins Cunt up and dwn in tenths; recgnise that tenths arise frm dividing an bject int 10 equal parts and in dividing ne-digit numbers r quantities by 10. Recgnise, find and write fractins f a discrete set f bjects: unit fractins and nn-unit fractins with small denminatrs. Recgnise and use fractins as numbers: unit fractins and nn-unit fractins with small denminatrs. Recgnise and shw, using diagrams, equivalent fractins with small denminatrs. Add and subtract fractins with the same denminatr within ne whle [fr example, 75 + 71 = 76]. Cmpare and rder unit fractins, and fractins with the same denminatrs. Gemetry prperties f shapes Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using mdelling materials; recgnise 3-D shapes in different rientatins and describe them. Recgnise angles as a prperty f shape r a descriptin f a turn. Identify right angles, recgnise that tw right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters f a turn and fur a cmplete turn; identify whether angles are greater than r less than a right angle. Identify hrizntal and vertical lines and pairs f perpendicular and parallel lines. Statistics Interpret and present data using bar charts, pictgrams and tables. a three-digit number and nes a three-digit number and tens a three-digit number and hundreds Slve prblems that invlve all f the abve. Measurement Slve ne-step and tw-step questins [fr example, Hw many mre? and Hw many fewer? ] using infrmatin presented in scaled bar charts and pictgrams and tables. Add and subtract numbers with up t three digits, using frmal written methds f clumnar additin and subtractin. Estimate the answer t a calculatin and use inverse peratins t check answers. Slve prblems, including missing number prblems, using number facts, place value, and mre cmplex additin and subtractin. Number multiplicatin and divisin Recall and use multiplicatin and divisin facts fr the 3, 4 and 8 multiplicatin tables. Write and calculate mathematical statements fr multiplicatin and divisin using the multiplicatin tables that they knw, including fr 2-digit numbers Measure, cmpare, add and subtract: lengths (m/cm/mm); mass (kg/g); vlume/capacity (l/ml). Measure the perimeter f simple 2-D shapes. Add and subtract amunts f mney t give change, using bth and p in practical cntexts. Tell and write the time frm an analgue clck, including using Rman numerals frm I t XII, and 12- hur and 24-hur clcks. Estimate and read time with increasing accuracy t the nearest minute; recrd and cmpare time in terms f secnds, minutes and hurs; use vcabulary such as clck, a.m./p.m., mrning, afternn, nn and midnight. Knw the number f secnds in a minute and the number f days in each mnth, year and leap year.
times 1-digit numbers, using mental and prgressing t frmal written methds. Slve prblems, including missing number prblems, invlving multiplicatin and divisin, including psitive integer scaling prblems and crrespndence prblems in which n bjects are cnnected t m bjects. Cmpare duratins f events [fr example t calculate the time taken by particular events r tasks].
