Year Three Term One Planning Exemplification

In this unit of work, the children will learn to use contents and index pages and to extract information about ‘Teeth and eating’ from different types of non-fiction texts, including ICT texts. After analysing a non-chronological report, they will write a report on the subject of ‘Teeth and eating’ (paying particular attention to the use of commas in lists and the correct spelling of content words and those with prefixes and long vowels). This unit has been linked specifically to the QCA Science scheme of work, Unit 3A, ‘Teeth and eating’.
