Grade 3 Snapshot

Grade 3 marks an important transition in primary school where learning becomes more structured and independent.

This Grade 3 Learning Snapshot outlines the key concepts children begin developing during this stage of schooling, informed by the Victorian Curriculum Version 2.0.

Inside this guide you will find a clear overview of the major learning areas, including:

• Developing reading comprehension and understanding longer texts

• Writing structured paragraphs and organising ideas

• Multiplication, division and early fractions

• Exploring forces, movement and the natural environment

• Learning about communities and maps

• Expressing ideas through creative arts

• Developing teamwork and coordination through sport

• Building independence and confidence in learning

Each learning area includes simple examples of what these skills look like in everyday learning experiences.
