Primary Year 3 SJK (National-Type Schools) Scheme of Work
Content overview
The purpose of this document is to provide teachers with support and information on planning, creating and delivering their lessons throughout the year.
Teachers will need to refer to this document when planning and delivering both their textbook-based lessons and non-textbook-based lessons.
In this Scheme of Work document, teachers will find the following information:
1. Content and organisation of the Scheme of Work
This section provides teachers with an introduction to the Scheme of Work and an explanation of how the textbook-based and the non-textbook-based
lessons are organised within the Scheme of Work.
2. Supporting information
This section provides teachers with an explanation of the information contained within the Scheme of Work template. This section also gives teachers
advice on completing the Scheme of Work template for their own non-textbook-based lessons.
3. Pre-lesson and post-lesson tasks
In this section, teachers will find some suggestions for pre-lesson and post-lesson tasks. Pre-lesson tasks are short tasks that come at the beginning of
the lesson to help pupils warm up and to introduce or review learning. Post-lesson tasks come at the end of the lesson to review, summarise,
personalise or talk about learning in the lesson. Some lessons in the Scheme of Work guide teachers to choose per- and post-lesson activities from this
section.
4. Differentiation strategies for Primary pupils
This section provides teachers with a number of suggested differentiation strategies that teachers may wish to use in their planning to help meet the
needs of the pupils in their class.
5. Glossary of terms in Year 3
Teachers should refer to the Content and Learning Standards contained within the Scheme of Work when planning their lessons. These Content and
Learning Standards come from the Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) and the Curriculum Framework documents.
This section provides teachers with supporting explanations for some of these Content and Learning Standards. It also provides explanations of
important terms used in some of the lessons. These terms are mainly found in the Learning Outline section (see the first table in the Glossary of Terms).
5
6. Scheme of Work (Lessons 1 – 80)
This is the main section of the scheme of work. It provides teachers with details for the textbook-based and non-textbook-based lessons.
7. Additional Materials for Year 3 SJK (National-Type Schools) Teachers
The SJK (National-Type school) teachers can plan lessons using the additional materials provided with the Scheme of Work to make the language
learning process more interesting, meaningful and engaging for pupils. They can also optimise the extensive resources in the additional materials if they
are able to complete the 80 lessons in the Scheme of Work earlier than expected within the stipulated time in the year. The materials provided can be
utilised to manage pupils who are fast finishers. Any suitable activities can be selected and adapted from these additional materials according to the
needs and levels of the pupils in the classroom.
1. Content and organisation of the Primary Year 3 SJK Scheme of Work
What is the Primary Year 3 SJK Scheme of Work and how can it help teachers?
The Scheme of Work gives teachers an overview of the Content and Learning Standards to be covered within each lesson. The Scheme of Work will
assist teachers in their daily, weekly and longer-term planning of lessons.
What does the Primary Year 3 SJK Scheme of Work consist of?
The Scheme of Work consists of 80 lessons with each lesson lasting a total of 60 minutes. If lessons are organised into 30-minute lessons, teachers
will need to plan and adapt their lessons accordingly. Each lesson in the Scheme of Work is numbered from Lesson 1 to Lesson 80.
The Scheme of Work consists of the following two types of lessons:

A. Textbook-Based Lessons: The materials for these lessons includes learning activities from the selected Year 3 textbook. This textbook is Get
Smart plus 3. Year 3 covers the whole textbook from Unit 1 to Unit 10.
B. Non-Textbook-Based Lessons: The learning outline in these lessons is generally related to the material in the textbook, but does not use
material from it. There are three types of non-textbook based lessons: skills-based lessons, Language Arts lessons and Language Awareness
lessons.
How are the Primary Year 3 SJK Scheme of Work lessons organised?
Most lessons in the Scheme of Work are textbook-based lessons. There are a few skill-based lessons (e.g. Writing, Speaking), some Language Arts
lessons, and Language Awareness lessons that are non-textbook-based lessons.
Typical lesson cycles
Each unit (units 1–10) of Get Smart plus 3 provides teachers with enough materials for 16 lessons, including three cycles of the four skills (Listening,
Speaking, Reading, Writing) plus Language Arts lessons, and one Language Awareness or Project-Based Learning lesson:
Lesson Lesson Skill/Focus Lesson Lesson Skill/Focus
1 Listening 11 Listening
2 Speaking 12 Speaking
3 Reading 13 Reading
4 Writing 14 Writing
5 Language Arts 15 Language Arts
6 Listening 16 Language Awareness / Project-based Learning
7 Speaking
8 Reading
9 Writing
10 Language Arts
Teachers should note the following:
 Textbook-based lessons will utilise material from the textbook as well as other suggested activities or material to help prepare pupils for new
learning, to consolidate or extend learning.
 Pupils are expected to have their own copy of the Student’s Book and use it in every lesson, including in non-textbook-based lessons, which
sometimes ask them to refer to their Student’s Book.
 Teachers should be able to access the Teacher’s Book for every lesson, including non-textbook-based lessons, which sometimes ask them to
refer to the Student’s Book. If teachers do not have regular access to the Teacher’s Book they should prepare a few lessons in advance while
they have the Teacher’s Book. If access to the Teacher’s Book is very limited, teachers are advised to be proactive and collaborative by planning
together and consulting with the English Head or a senior English teacher at their school. The Teacher’s Book provides a lot of guidance and
ideas as well as the listening audio script. It would therefore be useful for all teachers to access it, even if only periodically.
 Teachers are expected to plan lessons based on the lesson outline. They may need to develop and produce worksheets, create flashcards
(these picture cards that can be printed or drawn by the teacher) and prepare other material and resources for most lessons. Some lessons have
suggested worksheets that teachers can use if they wish to.
 Language Awareness lessons will focus specifically on the language taught in the unit. The Scheme of Work offers suggestions to teachers for
these lessons, but teachers are expected to plan these lessons based on the needs of their pupils. Teachers also expected to refer to the
syllabus which contains an overview of the language, vocabulary and the text types and other areas that are suitable for the grade.
 Every five lessons, pupils are asked to complete their learning diary at the end of the lesson. The learning diary is a place for them to reflect on
what they have learned recently (in approximately one week) as well as how they have performed in that learning. Based on this self-evaluation,
pupils set themselves informal goals for the next five lessons. Pupils will begin the year reflecting in a very basic way, and as the year
progresses they will develop these skills. Some pupils will develop these skills more than others, but all will gain from the use of higher order
thinking skills and a greater awareness of their own learning and the learning process. Pupils could use a separate notebook, or they could keep
a section of their regular notebook for this. The teacher can collect and review the learning diaries to see how pupils develop these skills and
how they view their learning and progress.
 At the end of every unit, pupils review and assess their learning in that unit. This self-assessment is guided using a worksheet which identifies
the language covered in the unit. Pupils can be asked at this point to review their learning diaries. This self-assessment should be completed in
class time, not given for homework. Pupils will need guidance from the teacher to complete it, especially in the first part of the year. The teacher
should collect the self-assessment worksheets and note common answers as well as any particular problems some pupils think they are having.
Pupils’ skills in self-assessment will develop over the year and they may begin the year at a very basic level.
 Two lessons (Lessons 40 and 80) provide teachers with the opportunity to create Project-Based Learning (PBL) Lessons. These lessons provide
teachers with the content they need to prepare activities that incorporate project work and promote independent learning.
2. Scheme of Work Template: Supporting Information
1. Lesson
Each lesson within the Scheme of Work is given a number followed by the lesson type (for example, Lesson 1 Listening; Lesson 16 Language
Awareness).
2. Main Skill Focus

Each lesson has one main skill focus. If the focus of the lesson is not on language skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing), then the main skill
focus will reflect the focus area of the lesson (e.g. Language Awareness, Language Arts, Project-Based Learning lesson).
3. Theme
The three given themes are:
 World of Self, Family and Friends
 World of Knowledge
 World of Stories
4. Topic
Topics are taken from the textbook. The topics are suitable for the pupils’ age and proficiency level.
5. Cross-Curricular Elements
Each cycle of lessons has been assigned a specific Cross-Curricular Element. Teachers will need to refer to the section on Cross-Curricular Elements in
Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) for further guidance. Teachers are encouraged to link to other Cross-Curricular
Elements within a lesson cycle, in addition to the suggested one given, if they identify opportunities where relevant cross-curricular connections can be
made.
6. Language/Grammar Focus
This is related to the grammatical structure/function (for example, Present Simple and Present Continuous) that is the focus of the lesson.
7. Content Standards and Learning Standards

The given Content and Learning Standards are taken from the Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) and the Curriculum
Framework document.
8. Main Skill and Complementary Skill
Each lesson within the Scheme of Work focuses on one Main Skill and one Complementary Skill. To ensure that pupils receive sufficient exposure to
and practice in every Learning Standard within the Curriculum Framework, each Learning Standard appears at least once in the Scheme of Work.
Learning Standards are covered as a main skill or as a complementary skill. It is therefore critical that teachers ensure that both the Main Skill and the
Complementary Skill are covered in each lesson. The Complementary Skill is not an optional skill that can be ignored or dropped from the lesson.
Doing this may mean that pupils do not receive adequate practice in and exposure to all the given Learning Standards within the Curriculum
Framework. When teachers are planning their lessons, they must therefore ensure that both the Main Skill and Complementary Skill are each assigned
a suitable learning objective.
Teachers should also be aware that the Main Skill and Complementary Skill should not however be given equal time and attention within the lesson.
Teachers will need to ensure that the Complementary Skill is covered, but the degree of attention this receives in comparison to the Main Skill will be up
to the teacher’s own professional judgement as they will know better the specific learning needs of their pupils.
9. Learning Outline
The Learning Outline provides guidance to teachers for the delivery of a lesson. Three main stages of every lesson are highlighted: Pre-lesson, Lesson
delivery and Post-lesson. Teachers will also need to refer to the Teacher’s Book, which provides detailed information about the delivery of the textbook
activities for textbook-based-lessons.
Pre-lesson activities activate and review pupils’ prior knowledge by, for example, reviewing relevant learning from a previous lesson or using a short
activity as an opportunity for pupils to share what they already know about the lesson topic. Post-lesson activities take place at the end of lessons to
review and consolidate the learning from a lesson.
10. Materials / References

The relevant page numbers of the Student’s Book and Teacher’s Book have been given for the textbook-based lessons.
3. Pre-lesson and Post-lesson tasks
Each lesson includes a suggestion for Pre-lesson and Post-lesson tasks. Some of these are outlined in the Learning Outline, sometimes teachers are
directed to the textbook. In other lessons, teachers can refer to and choose a suitable task from the lists below. Pre-lesson activities activate and review
pupils’ prior knowledge by, for example, reviewing relevant learning from a previous lesson or using a short activity as an opportunity for pupils to share
what they already know about the lesson topic or language. Post-lesson activities take place at the end of lessons to review and consolidate the
learning from a lesson or to give the teacher the opportunity to personalise or discuss learning.
1. Suggested Pre-lesson tasks

Below are 12 lesson tasks which teachers may choose from or adapt for the Pre-lesson section within the Learning Outline in the Scheme of Work.
These pre-lesson tasks are suitable to begin almost any skills-focused lesson and require minimal materials and preparation. They are simple for pupils
to participate in. Teachers can, of course, use their own pre-lesson tasks whenever they think that these would be more suitable for the pupils they
teach. Each pre-lesson task takes about 5–10 minutes of class time.
Note: These tasks are the same for Primary Years 1–3. The language and vocabulary focus will be different, however, and some tasks can be modified
for more proficient pupils, as noted in the task description.
PRE-LESSON TASK 1: WORK OUT THE WORDS

AIM: To prepare and give pupils confidence for a Listening or Reading text
MATERIAL: Board, exercise books and pens
1. Write anagrams of key topic vocabulary words on the board, e.g. n d s w c h i a (= sandwich)
2. Put pupils into pairs or groups and ask them to work out the words by completing the anagrams.
3. If pupils find this difficult, provide the first letter of each word or provide a picture to help them with meaning.
4. When finished, invite pupils to form larger groups to see if they have the same words.
5. Ask volunteers to say a word then spell it or come up to the board to write it.
PRE-LESSON TASK 2: GUESS THE ANSWER
AIM: To prepare and give pupils confidence for a Listening or Reading text
MATERIALS: Board
1. Write questions on the board for a Listening or Reading text, that pupils will answer during the lesson.
2. Provide two or three possible answers for each question, for example, ‘What did Sara do at the weekend?’
3. a. played football
4. b. watched TV
5. c. went shopping (make sure one is the correct answer!)
6. Ask pupils to guess which one they think is the correct answer.
7. Pupils then listen to or read the text to check their predictions.
PRE-LESSON TASK 3: SEQUENCE THE INFORMATION
AIM: To prepare and give pupils confidence for a listening or reading text
MATERIALS: Board
1. Write a list of events in the Listening or Reading text in a random order or use pictures to illustrate them. For example, if the text is a story, list the events in any
order (Mohamed went camping. He saw a mouse in the tent at night. His mother screamed! The mouse ran away.)
2. Put pupils in pairs to decide on the order.
3. Invite pupils to compare their ideas in groups.
4. Pupils then listen to or read the text to check their predictions.
PRE-LESSON TASK 4: IDENTIFY THE FLASHCARDS
AIM: To revise topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Flashcards of relevant topic vocabulary and card to cover up the flashcards
1. Choose some flashcards of important topic vocabulary that pupils will need in the lesson.
2. Place the flashcards face down on a table in front of the class.
3. Take one of the flashcards, making sure pupils can’t see it. Cover it with a piece of card then slowly begin revealing the flashcard to the class. You could use
an overhead projector and a piece of paper or an interactive whiteboard, if either is available.
4. Pupils try to guess the word as it is revealed. Each time they guess correctly, put the flashcard on the board. Continue until pupils have guessed all the words.
PRE-LESSON TASK 5: SIT DOWN, STAND UP
AIM: To revise topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: True and false sentences about the topic
1. Prepare some simple True/False sentences about the topic to check pupils’ knowledge or to prepare them for the content of the lesson.
2. Read a sentence out, for example, if the topic is pets, ‘Cats are bigger than mice’, ‘Fish live in water’ etc).
3. If it is True, pupils stay sitting at their desks. If it is False, pupils stand up. Invite pupils to correct any false sentences. You could change the action to suit
the topic of the lesson or to review other vocabulary, especially verbs.
4. If there is time, pairs of pupils can create their own True/False sentences to use with other pairs or with the whole class.
PRE-LESSON TASK 6: FINGER-WRITING
AIM: To practise spelling of topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Board
1. Choose some words that pupils will need for the lesson. These should be words pupils already know, so are reviewing.
2. Divide pupils into pairs.
3. Tell one pupil in the pair to look at the board, and the other pupil to cover their eyes or put their head down on the desk so that they can’t see the board.
4. Write a topic word on the board, give pupils about 5 seconds to remember it, and then rub the word off the board. You could use a picture if pupils may
benefit from using a visual aid.
5. Tell pupils who did not see the board to stand with their back to their partner while the partner writes the word on their back by using their finger.
6. Each pupil works out what word their partner is writing.
7. Reverse the roles so that each pupil gets the chance to write.
8. Repeat for other topic words.
Note: When pupils know this activity, they can choose their own words.
PRE-LESSON TASK 7: BEAT THE TEACHER
AIM: To create interest in the lesson and to review and practise spelling of topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Board
1. Choose a key topic word from the lesson.

2. Write lines to correspond to each letter on the board with a space in between as in the example below__________(planet).
3. Draw a circle/oval on the board. It is a head without the parts (eyes, nose, ears, mouth, hair).
4. Explain that the aim of the game is to guess the word before the face is completed.
5. Tell pupils to put up their hands if they want to guess a letter.
6. If they guess correctly, write the letter into the correct letter space. If they guess incorrectly, draw one part of the head (e.g. the mouth or the hair). Write
the incorrect letter on the side of the board to remind pupils it has already been used.
7. If pupils guess the word before the face is completed, they have beaten the teacher. If not, the teacher has won!
Note: You can change the picture you build for this, perhaps using a topic-related picture, as long as it has a good number of parts (e.g. 6 or 7).
PRE-LESSON TASK 8: PREDICT THE CONTENT
AIM: To help pupils with Listening or Reading comprehension
MATERIALS: Board and pictures
1. Ask pupils to look at a picture or pictures which accompany a Listening or Reading text they will have in the lesson, or tell them the title of the story, song etc.
2. Ask pupils to work in small groups to predict words they might hear/read. Give groups a fixed time, e.g. 3 minutes.
3. Review their answers and provide correct spelling by writing the words on the board.
4. Ask pupils to read or listen to the text and see if any of their predictions are correct.
5. Check the predictions with the whole class before moving on to the main Listening or Reading focus for the lesson.
PRE-LESSON TASK 9: REMEMBER THE WORDS
AIM: To review topic vocabulary and prepare pupils for the lesson
MATERIALS: Flashcards or real/plastic objects, a table and a cloth, or sheet.
1. Choose about 7 or 8 topic words that pupils will need for the lesson.
2. Put flashcards or real objects of these vocabulary items on a table.
3. Ask pupils to work in pairs or small groups and to say the words.
4. Check briefly with the whole class.
5. Place a cloth over all the items on the table.
6. Ask pairs to remember 5 words or more.
7. Elicit answers from the whole class.
8. Uncover the items so that pupils can check their answers.
Note: You can use pictures on the board with sticky tape or magnets, an overhead projector or an interactive whiteboard for this activity. Real objects (realia) are
stimulating when available, though.
PRE-LESSON TASK 10: SAY WHAT’S MISSING
AIM: To review topic vocabulary and prepare pupils for the lesson
MATERIALS: Flashcards or real/plastic objects, a table and a cloth, or sheet
1. Follow steps 1–5 in Pre-lesson task 9, Remember the Words.

2. Take one or two vocabulary items away.
3. Remove the cloth, keeping the removed items in it.
4. Pupils say which items are missing.
Note: You can use pictures on the board with sticky tape or magnets, an overhead projector or an interactive whiteboard for this activity. Real objects (realia) are
stimulating when available, though.
PRE-LESSON TASK 11: WORDS THAT SOUND THE SAME (PHONICS)
AIM: To practise distinguishing different sounds
MATERIALS: Board (or flashcards)
1. Choose some words that contain the sound(s) you are/have been working on and some other topic words you would like to review.
2. Write the words in chains of three or four on the board, containing one example of the phoneme you are focusing on, e.g. for /r/ cat : dog : fish : rat
3. Ask pupils to guess which word has the sound.
4. Say the words (you can say just the word or you could say it in a short sentence) to let pupils check their answers.
5. Ask pupils to read all the words aloud.
Note: This task can be adapted to have chains of rhyming words or as an odd-one-out (where one is different from the others). Pictures could be used instead of
words to check vocabulary production rather than reading recognition.
Although phonics is a focus of the Year 3 Content and Learning Standards, working with sounds and written words is still valuable to pupils in Year 3 from time to
time, especially with sounds that pupils find particularly difficult to hear or say.
PRE-LESSON TASK 12: PASS IT ON
AIM: To review vocabulary or language to prepare for a lesson
MATERIALS: Word or flashcards
1. Review with the whole class the word or flashcards you are using in this task.
2. Have pupils sit in a circle (or two, if you have a very large class).
3. Show pupils the first card, say the word and give it to one pupil. This pupil says the word and passes it to their neighbour. This pupil says the word and passes
it on, and so on.
4. Meanwhile, repeat for the next word, and the next, so that several words are circulating.
5. Increase the pace and challenge by passing some cards in the opposite direction and/or telling pupils to be much faster.
6. After the words have all been passed around, you might want to review them again.
Note: You can use this activity to support vocabulary learning or reading. You could use short sentences for more proficient groups of pupils.
2. Suggested post-lesson tasks
Below are 12 lesson tasks which teachers may choose from or adapt for the Post-lesson section within the Scheme of Work. These Post-lesson tasks
are suitable for ending almost any skills-focused lesson. They are simple for pupils to participate in. Each Post-lesson task takes about 5–10 minutes of
class time. Teachers can, of course, use their own Post-lesson tasks whenever they think that these would be more suitable for the pupils they teach.
Please note that these tasks are the same for Primary Years 1–3. The language and vocabulary focus will be different, however, and some tasks can be
modified for slightly more proficient pupils, as noted in the task description.
POST-LESSON TASK 1: SPOT THE DIFFERENCES
AIM: To provide practice in listening for detail
MATERIALS: Text
1. Before the lesson, identify 3 or 4 factual changes you could make to a Listening or Reading text that pupils will work on in the lesson (e.g. Mike’s
favourite season is winter instead of Mike’s favourite season is summer).
2. During the lesson, after pupils have worked on a Listening or Reading text and understood it, tell them they are going to listen to the text again but this time
there are some differences.
3. Ask pupils to listen and put their hands up each time they hear something different from the original text, and to be ready to correct the difference.
4. Read out your text with changes.
5. Pupils listen and correct the differences to make it the same as the original.
POST-LESSON TASK 2: MAKE CONNECTIONS
AIM: To review topic vocabulary and grammar
MATERIALS: Flashcards, pens and board
1. Before the lesson, choose or prepare between 3 and 6 flashcards that represent the content of a text that pupils will work on in the lesson.
2. During the lesson and after pupils have worked on the text, place the flashcards on the board and elicit ideas from pupils about items in the pictures.
3. Ask pupils how the pictures link to the text (e.g. if a flashcard shows some animals, the link may be The story is about a farm).
To extend, if time:
4. Put pupils into pairs and give them a short time (1 or 2 minutes) to tell each other everything they can remember from the text, using the flashcards to
help them. This could be sentences focusing on content or simply words.
5. Ask pupils to tell you the connections they have made between the pictures and the text.
6. If you want pupils to practise Writing as well as Speaking, pupils could come up to the board and write information under the corresponding flashcard.
POST-LESSON TASK 3: GUESS THE WORD
AIM: To review topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Cards with words or pictures, bag
1. Choose about 7 words related to the lesson.

2. Prepare small cards with the names or pictures of the items.
3. Put the words in a bag then take out a card without letting pupils see what it is.
4. Explain the word without saying the name, or mime it.
5. Invite pupils to guess the word.
6. Continue with all the words until there are none left in the bag.
A possible variation is:
1. Make 3 or 4 sets of the cards.
2. Explain or mime 1 or 2 words yourself (step 4 above).
3. Divide pupils into groups.
4. Give each group a set of cards and ask pupils to follow steps 4–6 in their own groups.
POST-LESSON TASK 4: CORRECT THE ERROR
AIM: To review topic language, and to review spelling and punctuation
MATERIALS: Board, words or sentences with errors from pupils’ written work
1. During the lesson, identify 4 or 5 words or sentences with errors that pupils made in a Writing task. These should be common errors made by more than 1
pupil.
2. Write the sentences on the board.
3. Ask pupils to form groups to identify the errors and to correct them.
4. Elicit answers with the whole class.
5. Ask pupils – a different pupil for each mistake – to come up to the board to write the corrected versions.
POST-LESSON TASK 5: REMEMBER IT, SAY IT
AIM: To practise the pronunciation of key language from the lesson
MATERIALS: Listening or Reading text, board
1. After pupils have worked on a Listening or Reading text, choose a key sentence or sentences you want pupils to focus on.
2. Make sure that pupils understand the meaning of the sentence(s).
3. Say the sentence twice and ask pupils to repeat it.
4. Repeat step 3 if you have chosen more than 1 sentence.
5. Extend the activity by writing a sentence on the board. Rub out a word and replace it with a line. Ask the pupils to say the complete sentence: they have to
remember the missing word too.
6. Continue rubbing out words until there are only lines on the board and invite pupils to say the full sentence.
Note: You could adapt this to focus on vocabulary from the lesson by replacing the sentences with a list of words that pupils remember (the number of words
depending on their familiarity, the age and the proficiency of the pupils). Start with a small number (2 or 3) and work upwards.
POST-LESSON TASK 6: WHISPER AND WRITE
AIM: To review topic language and spelling
MATERIAL: Board
1. Draw 4 columns on the board.
2. Divide the class into 4 teams. Ask each team to stand in a line facing the board.
3. Give each pupil at the front of the line some chalk or a board pen.
4. Go to the back of the line and ask the 4 pupils at the back of each line to come to you. Whisper a topic word (e.g. coconut) or instruction (e.g. Draw a
triangle and a square).
5. The pupils go back to their lines and whisper the topic language to the next pupil in the line. This continues until it reaches the pupil at the front of the line,
who writes down the word, or follows the instruction.
6. Each team gets 1 point for a correct answer. The team who finishes first gets an extra point if their answer is correct.
7. Continue with new words or instructions. Change the order in the line each time (e.g. pupil at the front goes to the back, so that there is a new pupil at
the front).
POST-LESSON TASK 7: LISTEN AND POINT
AIM: To review topic vocabulary
MATERIALS: Flashcards of topic vocabulary
1. Briefly review the vocabulary on the flashcards.

2. Place the flashcards on the walls around the room.
3. Say a word. Pupils point to the corresponding flashcard.
4. Divide pupils into groups. Pupils continue this activity in their groups.
POST-LESSON TASK 8: MAKE A WORD LADDER
AIM: To review topic vocabulary, to practise spelling
MATERIALS: Board
1. Divide the class into 4 or 5 teams, depending on your class size. There should be about 4 or 5 pupils in each team.
2. Ask each team to stand in a line facing the board. Give each pupil at the front of the line some chalk or a board pen.
3. Write the lesson topic on the board (e.g. School) and draw a ladder of at least 4 spaces for each team (at least one for each pupil in a team).
4. The pupil at the front of each line writes a word connected to the topic at the bottom of the ladder. They then pass on the chalk or pen to the second
pupil, who writes a word in the next space on the ladder. Pupils can help each other with spellings if needed.
5. You can either continue until each pupil has had a turn to write a word or you can continue for a fixed time,
e.g. 3 minutes, if you have more time available.
Each team gets 1 point for a word which is related to the topic and correctly spelled. If a team has a word which no other team has, they get an extra point.
Alternatively, you can avoid giving points for these kinds of game but offer praise yourself and from the other pupils when teams do well.
POST-LESSON TASK 9: READ YOUR FRIEND’S MIND
AIM: To review topic vocabulary, to practise Listening, Speaking and Reading
MATERIALS: Board
1. Write target language on the board (e.g. seasons, I like/do not like): about 5–7 target items is a good number. Write a number in front of each target
language item.
2. Quickly review the target language with pupils.
3. Ask a pupil to come to the front and whisper to you or write down on a piece of paper the number of the target language item she is thinking of.
4. Give the pupil about 5 seconds to pretend to ‘transmit’ the word or message in their mind to their classmates, who pretend to be mind readers.
5. The other pupils write down the number they think the pupil at the front has chosen. If your class is large, pupils can work in pairs to agree a number together
and write it down.
6. Quickly check around the class, asking each pupil to say the phrase they guessed.
7. The pupil at the front keeps a score by ticking or making a mark on the board against the number of each target language item suggested.
8. Calculate the pupil’s score. For example, if they were thinking of the phrase I like pizza, and 4 pupils guessed this correctly, the pupil scores 4 points.
9. Repeat this with a new pupil coming to the front, to see if they can beat the score of the previous pupil.
POST-LESSON TASK 10: TEST YOUR MEMORY
AIM: To review topic vocabulary and grammar (e.g. there is/are, have/has got)
MATERIALS: Picture in the textbook with some details in it, or a picture you have chosen from another source
1. Make sure that each pupil can see the textbook picture or your chosen picture.
2. Give them 1 minute to look at the picture and remember what’s in it.
3. Ask them to close their books. Hide the picture if you are not using the textbook.
4. Make True/False statements (e.g. There are 2 pupils in the picture. The car is red).
5. Pupils tell you if your statements are True or False, and correct any False statements.
6. Divide the class into groups and ask pupils to continue the game in their groups: give them more time to look at the picture if they need to do this in order
to make their statements.
POST-LESSON TASK 11: WHAT ABOUT ME?
AIM: To review topic content or vocabulary and encourage pupils to make links between English learning and their own lives
MATERIALS: Board and/or pictures, exercise books
1. Choose some key words or language from the lesson. Write the words on the board and ask pupils to read them or use pictures to elicit them and put
the pictures on the board.
2. Look at the board and act as if you are thinking carefully. Say: ‘What about me?’ Choose and circle one of the pictures/words. This should be something
you can connect to your personal life (e.g. a cat – you like cats or you have a cat).
3. Elicit from pupils why you have circled the cat.
4. Ask pupils to do the same in pairs by telling the word to their partner, who should try to guess what the connection is.
POST-LESSON TASK 12: WHAT ABOUT YOU?
AIM: To reflect on and share learning
MATERIALS: Exercise book for more literate pupils, or none
1. Act as if you are thinking and say ‘What can you remember?’ Give a key word from the lesson. Write it on the board (for more literate pupils).
2. Nominate a more proficient pupil and ask them ‘What about you? What can you remember?’ Elicit an answer and write it on the board. Then give
another example; then elicit another example. You could include examples of other language structures too, depending on your lesson focus and level of
pupils.
3. Ask pupils to work in pairs to share what they remember from the lesson. More literate pupils can write in their notebooks or it can be done as a Speaking
activity. This would also be a little quicker. Set either a time limit or a number of words limit.
4. An adaptation of this would be suitable to review different sounds that have been taught or reviewed by asking pupils to remember words with a
particular sound. This could be from the lesson or could be from the whole year so far.
4. Differentiation strategies for Primary pupils
The Scheme of Work outlines one or more suggestions for differentiation for each lesson. These suggestions are related directly to the focus of that
lesson and are often similar to the strategies below. However, every class is different, and teachers are encouraged to reflect on the learning needs of
their individual pupils in each class. They may choose to follow the suggestions in the Scheme of Work, and/or follow one or more strategies from the
list below.
Strategy 1: Differentiate by the task pupils are given

If teachers are using the same task for the whole class, using open-ended tasks such as brainstorming allows a large number of correct responses.
Open-ended tasks (e.g. Tell me the food words you know, or What will happen next?) allow more proficient pupils to contribute more unusual words,
more complex language, or more original ideas. Sometimes, the teacher can also give different tasks to more proficient and less proficient groups of
pupils according to their needs and interests: see Strategy 5 for more on this.
Strategy 2: Differentiate by the type and amount of support provided

The teacher can support pupils to understand and use language with:
 their own instruction (e.g. ‘It begins with B. You read it. It’s on the desk.’)
 with gestures
 with visuals (e.g. flashcards on the board to help pupils understand or use vocabulary)
 with written words (e.g. written words on a worksheet to help pupils with spelling).
Different types and amount of support can be given to less proficient pupils, depending on their needs, and extra challenge can be provided for more
proficient pupils. For example, you can give more proficient pupils basic verbal instructions without using gestures.
Strategy 3: Differentiate by the outcome expected from pupils

The teacher may expect more language from some pupils, and less from others. The main aim is that every pupil says or writes something, so that they
feel successful. Two useful strategies here are:
i) Compulsory plus optional
Here, the teacher sets pupils targets such as With your partner, write 2 sentences or more, or In your group, say 3 colours or more. The minimum
target (2 sentences, 3 colours) is compulsory, and everyone needs to achieve this to be successful. But the ‘or more’ is optional, and gives a chance
for more proficient language pupils to challenge themselves. Some pupils will stop at the minimum target at first, but with more practice, they will
soon get the idea of going beyond the minimum target.
ii) Remember and share
If pupils are asked to remember and share, they have to tell the teacher words or ideas they learned in a previous lesson or task (e.g. Look at the
classroom objects on my table. In one minute, I’ll cover them… Now, share with your group what you remember and then tell me ). Sometimes, less
proficient pupils have good memories, so as well as different outcomes, this task also allows different pupils to make successful contributions.
Strategy 4: Differentiate by the time pupils are given to complete a task

Some pupils need longer than others to complete tasks, especially when writing is involved. When it is appropriate, these pupils should be given a little
more time to finish, and extra tasks for pupils who complete the task early should be provided (e.g. Write as many animal words as you can; Name the
things in this picture in the textbook; Talk with your friend in English: you choose what to talk about). Rewarding fast finishers with something ‘fun’ to do
(such as playing with toys or drawing a picture) should be avoided, as this will encourage pupils to work quickly, rather than to work carefully at their
own speed. Extra tasks should extend and enrich learning.
Strategy 5: Differentiate by supporting individual learning preferences and needs

When appropriate, teachers can support preferences by letting pupils make choices about what they do and how they do it. Sometimes, for example,
pupils decide for themselves which tasks they want to do (e.g. the gestures they create for an action song, or a revision game), depending on the ways
they prefer to learn (for example visually, through speaking or listening, or through movement).
Different pairings and groupings will allow pupils to work in different ways – teachers can sometimes pair up pupils who can help and support each other
(e.g. one who can write and one who cannot yet write well) or who enjoy working together. Sometimes teachers might want to mix girls and boys, or
have single-sex pairs/groups. In some tasks, pupils can be assigned different roles to do, for example a group manager, writer or artist. Teachers should
make sure to vary pairing and grouping over time.
Teachers can support needs by setting individual tasks and targets for pupils based on teacher assessment. For example, if a number of pupils are not
able to read well yet, a teacher might decide on a reading target for each pupil and provide them with different tasks from those pupils who can already
read. If a few pupils are proficient readers, they could be given extra tasks.
Strategy 6: Differentiate by the types of question asked

Closed questions are questions in which the choice of possible answers is limited. They often involve very short responses. Open questions usually
have more possible answers, and longer responses. Asking closed questions to less proficient pupils (e.g. Which boy is James? Is it a dog or a cat?)
gives them a chance to produce accurate answers, as they are usually easier to answer than open questions. Asking open questions to more proficient
pupils (e.g. What can Mandy do now?) provides extra challenge. As less proficient pupils grow in confidence and competence, teachers can ask them
more open questions. Sometimes there are also good reasons for asking more proficient pupils easier questions, as this involves them in the lesson and
helps the pace of the lesson.
Strategy 7: Differentiate by the feedback given

Feedback given to pupils should be varied according to their ability to act on the feedback. For example, if a pupil who is less proficient at Writing has
tried hard and produces work with a number of misspellings, feedback can be given on what they did well, and only 2 or 3 misspellings of common or
important words highlighted. The pupil should respond to this feedback because the suggested improvement is achievable for them. If a stronger pupil
writes well and makes 2 misspellings, the teacher can tell them the lines in which the misspellings are, and ask them to find and correct them. The pupil
should be able to respond to the extra challenge built in to this feedback. The same principle applies to giving feedback on pupils’ spoken language.
5. Glossary of terms in Year 3
Each lesson in the Scheme of Work includes a Learning Outline with guidance for delivering a lesson. Teachers may find useful the following
explanations of important terms used in Learning Outlines.
Term in Year 3
Meaning
Scheme of Work
brainstorm This is when pupils work with one or more other pupils to put all their ideas together. They should be able to give all their ideas without worrying about
accuracy. It may be listing, categorising etc.
circle game In this kind of whole-class activity, pupils sit (or stand, if space is limited) in one large circle, including the teacher. Everyone can see and interact with
everyone else.
drill Drilling is where the pupils hear a word, phrase or sentence and repeat it. Often the teacher says the words and pupils repeat it a few times, but the
word may be recorded and pupils may repeat more/fewer times, individually/in pairs/groups. This gives practice in pronunciation and helps pupils
remember. It can be done in different fun ways.
elicit This technique is where the teacher gets the information, answer, language from pupils, rather than telling them. It will help the teacher see what pupils
know and makes pupils more active in their learning and language use.
fast finishers Pupils who are able to work at a faster pace on a specific task than the majority of pupils in a class. They are therefore ready to move on to the next task
sooner than the majority of pupils because they finish earlier than the others.
gapped text This is a text which has missing words or phrases. Pupils should read and decide which words or phrases to complete the text. This is also known as ‘fill in
the blanks’ activity.
monitor Teachers monitor when they walk around the classroom to see and watch pupils. This is to check that they know what to do, that they are doing what they
should be doing, to answer any questions and, importantly, to check their work and give individual support and feedback.
peer-assessment This is when pupils give feedback to other pupils on specific aspects of their learning, such as a specific aspect of the quality of their speaking. The
feedback can take the form of two things that were good (stars) and one area for improvement (wish).
post-lesson Activity at the end of a lesson to review and consolidate the learning.
pre-lesson Activity at the beginning of a lesson to activate pupils’ prior knowledge.
prior knowledge Knowledge and skills which pupils already have. Pupils possibly acquired from previous lessons or previous years.
scaffolding Teaching strategies that aim to support pupils’ learning to help them to reach a higher level of understanding, thinking or language use. These may be
asking questions, giving examples or using pictures.
Term in Year 3
Meaning
Scheme of Work
self-assessment This is when pupils are asked to assess themselves on specific aspects of their learning. For example, learning diaries kept by pupils can reveal areas that
need clarification or specific skills that need further development.
TPR activity TPR = Total Physical Response. This is a way of teaching which combines movement and language to help pupils learn more deeply. It also lets teachers
check understanding. Pupils listen and mime only, or they can mime and repeat at the same time.
Each lesson in the Scheme of Work contains specific Content and Learning Standards. Teachers may find useful the following explanations of some of
the terms used.

 A skill I need to do better in (L/S/R/W) whose family it is.
 Something I feel proud of in my English
Remember that as it is still the beginning of the school year, pupils may begin reflecting in their first
language and at a very basic level (simple words). Encourage pupils to begin to reflect more deeply
and using more English as the year goes on. Some pupils will be more able to do this than others.
Support pupils who may need some help and encourage everyone to complete their diaries. Ensure
you allocate time for this activity in your lesson plan. It shouldn’t be set for homework.

negative sentences, depending on time. Support weaker pupils carefully.
7. Put pupils in groups. The groups collect the papers from each pupil, and put them
face-down on the table.
In turns, each pupil turns over a paper, reads it aloud and says which character they
think it is from Student’s Book, p.29. Pupils can point to the characters or describe
them if they don’t know their names. They win a point if they are right.
