Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• content standard text - p.210: the learning outcome on this sub-strand's front page is printed "1.4.1.LO.1" although the page is headed "Strand 4. WRITING / Sub-Strand 3. BUILDING AND PRESENTING KNOWLEDGE" in the YEAR THREE section and the content standard, indicator and assessment beside it are all 3.4.3. Carried as printed

Learners in their mixed ability groups use concept maps to illustrate information from multiple print and digital sources.
