A pivotal first year in &#8220;the big kids&#8217; world,&#8221; it allows the student to learn to adapt to their own pace, organisation and environment, all while continuing the teaching approach begun in their CM1 and CM2 years.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the different subjects studied?<\/h2>\n<p>Over the course of cycle 3, students cover <strong>10 subjects<\/strong>, each with well-established <strong>skills<\/strong> to develop:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>French<\/strong>: understanding and expressing oneself orally, reading, writing and understanding how the language works.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Modern languages<\/strong>: listening and understanding, speaking at length, writing, reacting and holding a conversation, as well as discovering cultural aspects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visual arts<\/strong>: experimenting, producing, creating, carrying out an artistic project, expressing oneself, analysing one&#8217;s own practice and that of others, relating to the work of artists, opening up to otherness, finding one&#8217;s bearings in fields linked to visual arts and being receptive to its questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Music education<\/strong>: singing and performing, listening, comparing and commenting, exploring, imagining and creating, exchanging, sharing and arguing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>History of art<\/strong>: identifying, analysing, placing in context and finding one&#8217;s bearings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Physical education and sport<\/strong>: developing physical skills, expressing oneself through the body, mastering methods and tools through sport, sharing rules, taking on roles and responsibilities, looking after one&#8217;s health and adopting a sporting culture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Moral and civic education<\/strong>: developing a moral conscience, a sense of the rules of living together, a spirit of independence, cooperation and responsibility towards others, understanding and discussing moral choices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>History and geography<\/strong>: finding one&#8217;s bearings in time and space, reasoning and justifying, asking and being asked questions, gathering information in the digital world, understanding a document, using different forms of expression within the subject, cooperating and pooling resources.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Science and technology<\/strong>: practising, designing, creating, carrying out projects, mastering tools and methods, using scientific language, using digital tools, adopting ethical and responsible behaviour and finding one&#8217;s bearings in space and time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mathematics<\/strong>: exploring, modelling, representing, reasoning, calculating and communicating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What are the specific features of the cycle 3 curriculum?<\/h2>\n<p>Linking the last two years of primary school with the first year of coll\u00e8ge, cycle 3 carries a <strong>twofold responsibility<\/strong>: consolidating fundamental skills (reading, writing, counting and respecting others) and enabling a smoother transition between the two schools, ensuring a certain level of progression across these 3 years of teaching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The priority remains, without question, mastery of language<\/strong>, so that students have enough independence in reading and writing to approach cycle 4 with confidence. In science, students learn to formulate ideas, process data and <strong>solve problems<\/strong>. In other subjects, the knowledge built up since cycle 2 continues to grow with <strong>exposure to different academic fields,<\/strong> such as history, geography, technology&#8230; Finally, students develop <strong>more abstract thinking<\/strong>, supporting reasoning and the ability to carry out more complex tasks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To support this learning, and if your child is struggling at school, don&#8217;t hesitate to <strong>call on our <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/online-academic-support\/\"><strong>online school support professionals<\/strong><\/a>.
