Homework - spellings Common exception words (Year 2) High frequency words (Year 3) Spelling rules Examples given Research other words that follow the rule. The spelling rules will be from the Year 2/3 English Programmes of Study. Homework - handwriting Expectation for Year 2/3 to join writing Correct use of diagonal and horizontal strokes Writing capital letters and digits of the correct size, orientation and relationships to one another and to lower-case letters Using spacing between words that reflects the size of the letters Home handwriting for those who would benefit from extra practice Minimum 1 page per week Homework - Maths Maths slips – compulsory - to be completed in the blue homework books. This will be reviewed in Friday’s lesson. Overview- for 2019/20 Sixth year of the new National Curriculum (September 2013) which was implemented from September 2014. Fifth year of the current format for the end of Key Stage One tests. Year Two teachers will use the results of national tests in reading and maths to help assess the children’s levels of attainment at the end of Year Two. We purposefully, try to keep these assessments as low key as possible and would encourage you to do the same. These will only be one factor in the teachers’ judgement. Overall, Reading, Writing and Maths will all be teacher assessed. Children will be deemed to be working towards, working at or working at greater depth against the national standard for Year Two. SPAG test- Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar test no longer statutory. Children at SJA will be taught but not formally tested. How we deliver the programmes of study The National Curriculum sets out the statutory requirements of the Year 2 and 3 curriculum. Progress across all of key stage 1 is assessed in the end of Year 2 tests. Year 3 pupils will be assessed at the end of Key Stage Two when they are in Year Six. New this year is the national times tables tests in Year 4 so year three children will sit this next academic year. St Joan of Arc uses the White Rose Maths and No-Nonsense English schemes of work to ensure complete coverage of the statutory curriculum requirements. This is supplemented by other schemes of work at the teachers’ discretion. Children’s progress will be tracked using Target Tracker- all teachers assess pupils against national attainment expectations for that year’s programme of study. Statutory Subjects https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england- primary-curriculum Figure 1 – Structure of the national curriculum Key stage 1 Key stage 2 Key stage 3 Key stage 4 Age 5 – 7 7 – 11 11 – 14 14 – 16 Year groups 1 – 2 3 – 6 7 – 9 10 – 11 Core subjects English Mathematics Science Foundation subjects Art and design Citizenship Computing Design and technology Languages1 Geography History Music Physical education 1 At key stage 2 the subject title is ‘foreign language’; at key stage 3 it is ‘modern foreign language’. The Core Subjects- Mathematics • There is higher expectation overall – pupils will be benchmarked against age-related expectations in other nations. • Progression shown year-by-year – but it will be for teachers to set out their year-by-year approach in their school curriculum. • All pupils will be expected to build firm foundations and not be accelerated to content expected in older years. • The school have adopted a ‘mastery’ based approach to teaching mathematics- there are more opportunities for investigative work, more use of manipulatives and teaching will be slower but deeper (each strand will be studied at greater depth). The Core Subjects- Mathematics • All pupils will access manipulatives to reinforce understanding. This will not always be recorded in books. • All pupils will participate in 15 minute daily maths fluency sessions in addition to the longer daily maths lesson. These sessions allow for regular revisiting of previously taught areas. • Children will complete weekly arithmetic practice. • Pupils across all year groups will complete termly reasoning and arithmetic papers from the White Rose scheme (providers of our maths curriculum planning). Year 2 Maths objectives Year 2 Maths Key Objectives Summarised form 1 Count in steps of 2s, 3s and 5s, and steps of 10 2 Recognise place value in two-digit numbers 3 Compare and order numbers up to 100 using <, > and = 4 Recall and use number addition/subtraction facts to 20, and derive related facts 5 Add and subtract mentally and with objects one- and two-digit numbers 6 Understand and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction 7 Know 2×, 5× and 10× tables, including recognising odd & even numbers 8 Calculate mathematical statements using x and ÷ symbols 9 Recognise, find, name and write 1/3, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of size, shape or quantity 10 Write simple fraction facts, e.g. 1/2 of 6 = 3 11 Combine amounts of money to make a value, including using £ and p symbols 12 Tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes, including drawing clocks 13 Describe properties of 2-D shapes, including number of sides and symmetry 14 Describe properties of 3-D shapes, including number of edges, vertices and faces 15 Interpret and construct simple tables, tally charts and pictograms Year 3 Maths objectives Year 3 Maths Key Objectives Summarised form 1 Count in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100 2 Compare and order numbers up to 1000 3 Add and subtract numbers mentally, including round numbers to HTU 4 Add and subtract using standard column method 5 Estimate answers to calculations and use the inverse to check answers 6 Know 3×, 4× and 8× tables 7 Count up and down in tenths 8 Understand that tenths are objectives or quantities divided into ten equal parts 9 Compare and order simple fractions 10 Recognise and show equivalent fractions 11 Find and write fractions of a set of objects 12 Add and subtract fractions with common denominators (less than one) 13 Measure, compare and calculate measures using standard units 14 Measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes 15 Add and subtract money, including giving change 16 Tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals 17 Estimate and read time to the nearest minute 18 Identify horizontal, vertical, parallel and perpendicular lines 19 Identify whether angles are greater or less than a right angle 20 Interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables Year 2 Maths SATS Papers The 2019 KS1 mathematics test consists of: An arithmetic paper A mathematical reasoning and problem solving paper The two papers are not strictly timed since the ability to work at pace is not part of the assessment. The whole maths test should take approximately 55 minutes. Pupils can be awarded up to 60 marks which are split as follows: 25 marks for the arithmetic paper (paper 1) 35 marks for the mathematical reasoning paper (paper 2) The arithmetic questions will be context-free calculations. Each question will be worth one mark. Paper 2 will present questions in a range of formats. It will start with six aural questions, and also include multiple choice questions and questions that require children to construct an answer. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-curriculum-assessments-practice- materials Reasoning Paper Sample Questions The Aims of the English Curriculum The overarching aim for English in the national curriculum is to promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment. The national curriculum for English aims to ensure that all pupils: read easily, fluently and with good understanding develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and knowledge of linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences use discussion in order to learn; they should be able to elaborate and explain clearly their understanding and ideas are competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate.
