In the US, third graders are usually about 8. Traditionally, children begin school the fall of the year they turn 5. So, the age ranges usually go like this:
Kindergarten = age 5-6
First Grade = age 6-7
Second Grade = 7-8
Third Grade = 8-9
Fourth Grade = 9-10
Fifth Grade = 10-11
Sixth Grade = 11-12
Seventh Grade = 12-13
Eighth Grade = 13-14
Ninth Grade (freshman) = 14-15
Tenth Grade (sophomore) = 15-16
Eleventh Grade (junior) = 16-17
Twelfth Grade (senior) = 17-18
Different cities and states break their grades up slightly differently, but overall this is how the schools are split:
Elementary Schoool = Kindergarten through 5th grade (sometimes 6th too)
Middle School (or Junior High School) = 6th through 8th grade
High School = 9th through 12th grade

Well, 3rd Graders in the US school system are aged between 8-9 years of age which is our equivalent of Primary Level/ Standard 2-3... so I guess you can say that, lol.
