What do we expect? What does a day in Year 3 look like? From Key Stage 1 To Key Stage 2 What do we expect? What does a day in Year 3 look like?

Year 3 lays the foundations for moving through Key Stage 2 Year 3 lays the foundations for moving through Key Stage 2. It is a big transition to move from Year 2 to Year 3 as the breadth and pace of work increases. As pupils move into Key Stage 2 they are expected to become more independent in proof reading their work and peer assessing. They are expected to change their own reading book after completing the quiz on Accelerated Reader. Being in Year 3 = Being Independent
