Questions teachers ask

What do students learn in Year 3 Languages?
The Australian Curriculum v9 has 174 Languages content descriptions for Year 3 (some are written for a band of years: Years 3 and 4). They are listed on this page with their codes.
How do I plan a Year 3 Languages lesson for a content description?
Choose "Plan this" next to the content description. Heapso opens a lesson plan set to Year 3 Languages with that code linked, so the plan is built around it. You can change anything before Pip writes.

Plan your next Year 3 Languages unit

Heapso opens a unit plan set to Year 3 Languages. Add the content descriptions you're teaching and Pip cites only those.
