Grade 3
Dear teacher!

The group of teachers designed this collection of tasks as a teaching aid to assist teachers
within the framework of updating the content of education. Tasks with assessment criteria and
descriptors are samples for assisting teachers in providing constructive feedback to learners in terms
of achievement of learning objectives; in selecting and designing similar tasks, in planning lessons
and carrying out Formative Assessment.
The advisory nature of the tasks collection allows teachers to adapt, add and make changes
in tasks according to learners’ capacities and requirements.
Additional materials (manuals, presentations, plans, etc.), the discussion possibility on
forums and video instructions can be found on the official website of «Nazarbayev Intellectual
Schools» Autonomous Educational Organisation smk.edu.kz.

We wish you creative work and success!

This collection of tasks is designed for secondary school teachers, school administrations,
educational departments’ seniors, regional and school coordinators in criteria-based assessment and
others.
Freely available Internet resources such as pictures, cartoons, photos, texts, video and audio
materials, etc. have been used in designing this tasks collection. The collection of tasks was
designed for the uncommercial purposes.

It was half past three and Katie had just finished school. Her mum was waiting at the gates
with Jessie, the dog. “Can we go to the park with Jaia, Mum?” said Katie. “Alright, we can go for
half an hour,” said Mum. When they got to the park, Katie and Jaia ran towards the swings and
slides. “Come on!” shouted Katie, “Let’s see how high we can go on the swings!” “You can’t
come in here, Jess!” shouted Katie and Jaia. Mum took Jessie over to the bench and tied him to it.
She sat down and started to read the paper. (Half an hour later) “Did you have a nice time?” Mum
asked. “Yes, it was brilliant! I went the highest!” said Katie. “No, I went the highest,” said Jaia.
“Come on, we need to take you home,” said Mum. That night, Jessie couldn’t sleep. He was
thinking about the park. Quietly, he got out of his basket and walked downstairs. He squeezed
through the cat flap – he was outside! He ran towards the park. Soon Jessie was at the park. He
walked towards the swings. The gate was open. He went through and looked around…the
playground was full of dogs! Jessie climbed up the ladder, went down the slide, whizzed round on
the roundabout, went up and down on the see-saw, bounced on the springy, and went up and down
on the swing. “Wooooof!” barked Jessie. He went as high as he could on the swing. Soon it was
time to go. Jessie got off the swing, went through the gate and walked back home. He squeezed
through the cat-flap, walked upstairs and got into his basket. He looked at Katie. “I went the
highest,” thought Jessie. And went to sleep.
