10. I know number bonds for all numbers to 20.
Year 3 – Autumn 1
I know number bonds for all numbers to 20.
2 + 9 = 11
3 + 8 = 11
4 + 7 = 11
5 + 6 = 11
3 + 9 = 12
4 + 8 = 12
5 + 7 = 12
6 + 6 = 12
4 + 9 = 13
5 + 8 = 13
6 + 7 = 13
5 + 9 = 14
6 + 8 = 14
7 + 7 = 14
6 + 9 = 15
7 + 8 = 15
7 + 9 = 16
8 + 8 = 16
8 + 9 = 17
9 + 9 = 18
Example of a fact family
9 + 6 = 15
15 – 9 = 6
Examples of other facts
4 + 5 = 9
= 18
19 – 7 = 12
10 – 6 = 4
Key Vocabulary
What do I add to 5 to make 19?
What is 17 take away 6?
What is 13 less than 15?
How many more than 8 is 11?
What is the difference between 9 and 13?
This list includes the most challenging facts but children will need to learn all number bonds for each number to 20 (e.g = 17). This includes related subtraction facts (e.g. 17 – 2 = 15).
Top Tips
The secret to success is practising little and often. Use time wisely. Can you practise these KIRFs while walking to school or during a car journey? You don’t need to practise them all at once: perhaps you could have a fact of the day. If you would like more ideas, please speak to your child’s teacher.
Buy one get three free - If your child knows one fact (e.g = 13), can they tell you the other three facts in the same fact family?
Use doubles and near doubles – If you know that = 12, how can you work out 6 + 7? What about 5 + 7?
Play games – There are missing number questions at . See how many questions you can answer in just one minute.

13. WESSEX GARDENS’ FOCUS ON THE TEACHING OF VOCABULARY

14. How can we make our school more word aware?
The key to overcoming this issue is for parents and teachers to work together. Word learning is most effective when it is done in context and so it helps if parents can be kept informed of the topics being covered in class along with the key topic words.

15. How do we build vocabulary and engagement with Word Up Wessex?
Vocabulary is specifically taught on a regular basis in all classes using the STAR approach (Select, Teach, Activate, Review).
Fridge words sent home weekly- the words that children are learning in school. They are to be displayed either on the fridge or a notice board. Parents to talk to the children about these words.

16. At home it's helpful for parents to:
Encourage reading for pleasure from an early age so that positive reading habits are set up from the start. Create opportunities for sharing books throughout the day, not just at bedtime, for very young children. Lead by example and let your child see you reading for pleasure as they become independent readers themselves. Pick out new or unusual words when sharing books and act these out with young children or help them to find out what these words mean. Nurture a curiosity about words and their meanings. Dictionary use is an important self-help strategy and nowadays students can choose between online dictionaries or the good old fashioned paper version. Find out in advance which topic words are being covered in class and borrow fiction and non-fiction books from the library which extend this learning so that these topic words can be heard lots of times and in context. Make word learning fun, play quick and easy word games
