YEAR 3 PROGRAM SEMESTER ONE
ENGLISH Students read a range of texts including fiction and non - fiction. They continue to develop various comprehension strategies such as making predictions, asking questions throughout the reading process and making connections with the text. Students work with various texts within guided reading groups. Throughout the week, students work within a small focused teaching group to develop their reading skills and understanding of what they have read. They continue to consolidate a range of writing styles including recounts, narratives and persuasive texts. Through both modelled and shared writing experiences, students learn about specific text features and key language associated with different text types. Explicit spelling and handwriting activities are embedded throughout the program to develop the necessary skills to become confident spellers and writers. MATHEMATICS Students explore and model place value to tens of thousands and explore various number and skip counting patterns. They further develop mental strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division algorithms. Students are encouraged to apply problem solving strategies to solve worded problems in everyday contexts. Students explore mass and capacity using formal measurements such as grams, kilograms and litres. They learn to tell the time to the nearest minute using an analogue and digital clock. Students conduct surveys to collect data, then organise and create graphs to display results. They study aspects of location, giving directions to follow maps and using simple grids to show position.
