Curriculum 2015The new curriculum the aim is to slim down the content of the curriculum in almost all subjects, though not in primary English, maths or science
.
There are changes to the content of all subjects in the national curriculum.
In maths, children will be expected to learn more at an earlier age - for example to know their 12 times table by the age of nine
History will take a more chronological approach than under the old curriculum
In English, pupils will learn more Shakespeare and there will be more importance placed on spelling
The new computing curriculum will require pupils to learn how to write code
In science, there will be a shift towards hard facts and "scientific knowledge
"Slide6
Assessment at BalfourLevels and numbers are old news now. Assessment in school is now focussed on what the children can and can’t do.
We can then support them in a number of ways to help them achieve what is expected of them and get the best they can from
education.
Turning children into numbers and figures tell us nothing about the child, and can demoralise them, so making sure they can learn and get help when needed is much more worthwhile
.
There may be times the children go out of class to get extra help with an adult. This could be because they are struggling, or because they can be extended further in their learning.Slide7
Our Curriculum
Year 3 follows on from Year 2. Your child will continue to follow the National Curriculum. There have been some changes mainly to the content that teachers have to teach.
T
here continues to be 2 hours of PE. One outdoor and one indoor. An hour of
F
rench every other week. One hour of computing, music and RE. The rest of the timetable is taken up with English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Art and DT. We are following a more creative curriculum and the children will be taught through topics and themes. The aim is to make learning more meaningful, interesting and fun. It creates cross curricular links which gives the children opportunities to consolidate and extend their learning and understanding.Slide8

Term 2: Tribal Tales
Term 3: Flow
