Primary Year 3 SK Scheme of Work
1. Content and organisation of the Primary Year 3 Scheme of Work
What is the Primary Year 3 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 Scheme of Work consist of?
The Scheme of Work consists of 160 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 160.
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 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.
