Welcome to Year 3 2023!

 

Here is look at the curriculum ahead:

 

In reading we will be focusing on looking at the Main Idea of a range of fiction and non-fiction texts.

 

Our mini lessons will be focusing on how to identify a Main Idea inside of a text, comparing and contrasting between two different texts, finding the author’s purpose and learning about a bank of reading strategies and skills to further push our readers.

 

In writing we have been looking at Recount writing with a focus on the structure and language as well as narrative writing with a focus on the author Chris Van Alsberg.

 

Students will go through the writing process of planning, drafting, revising, self-editing, peer-editing, teacher conferencing and publishing.

 

In numeracy, students are focusing on place value, number patterns, location/transformation and time.

 

In topic we have been exploring our identity and will continue looking at our cultural similarities and differences.

 

In Library, students will borrow 5 take home books and up to 3 of their own choice books. We encourage students to read nightly and record their reading in their diaries.
