Three short practice activities

Ask the learner to try each question before opening the answer. Use familiar examples, drawings or safe objects as helpful. These questions were written for this page and are not extracts from the downloadable files.

1. Trustworthiness

Question: You are asked to keep classroom materials safe. What would a trustworthy response involve?

Show answer and adult support prompt

Use them as allowed, keep them safely and return them as agreed. Adult prompt: Connect trust to specific actions and encourage the learner to explain what could happen if the materials were carelessly lost.

2. Respectful speech

Question: A group begins mocking another pupil. Suggest a respectful response.

Show answer and adult support prompt

Do not join the mockery; encourage kind speech and ask a teacher for help when needed. Adult prompt: Discuss a response that reduces harm without spreading the unkind comments to more people.

3. Sharing help

Question: Give an example of helping someone without expecting a reward.

Show answer and adult support prompt

A learner could help organise shared books with permission. Adult prompt: Ask what makes the action useful and safe. The answer should describe genuine assistance rather than a promise of a particular reward.

Using Grade 3 topical practice

  1. Choose something already taught. Read the instruction slowly. Check whether the learner understands the words before judging the answer.
  2. Allow an independent attempt. Give time to speak, draw, count or write as the activity requires. Avoid giving the answer before the learner has had a chance to think.
  3. Discuss one correction. Explain why a response works and try a similar example. Praise the useful strategy, such as checking a count or finding a reason in a sentence.

These activities support a short revision discussion. Match them to the learner’s classroom work and learning needs. They are not full examinations or a claim that every current curriculum outcome is covered.
