Primary Year 3 SK Scheme of Work
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.
