Daily Routines
• Book bags with reading books and records should be in school
everyday.
• The children are expected to have a named water bottle.
• A labelled PE kit should be in school everyday. It will be sent
home at the end of every term.
• PE is on a Thursday morning and a Friday afternnon.
• PLEASE ensure all uniform is clearly named .
• There will be an early morning activity to complete when they
arrive.
• The children need to become more independent eg changing
their own book, coming into school on their own and getting
themselves dressed quicker.
• Please can you ensure that the children line up when waiting in
the outside area as this is part of our classroom and will often
have activities set up for the children to do during the day.
National Curriculum
• Last year a new National Curriculum was
introduced across KS1 and KS2.
• Curriculum areas – English, Maths,
Science, ICT, Geography, History, Design
Technology, Art, Music, RE, PSHE and PE.
What’s New?
English
• Stronger emphasis on vocabulary development, grammar, punctuation and spelling (for example, the use of commas and
apostrophes will be taught in KS1)
• Spoken English has a greater emphasis, with children to be taught debating and presenting skills
Maths
• Five-year-olds will be expected to learn to count up to 100 (compared to 20 under the old curriculum) and learn number
bonds to 20 (up to 10 in the old curriculum)
Science
• Strong focus on scientific knowledge and language.
• Evolution will be taught in primary schools for the first time.
ICT
• Computing replaces Information and Communication Technology (ICT), with a greater focus on programming.
• From age five, children will learn to write and test simple programs.
SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar)
• At the end of Year 2 (KS1) your children will sit the SPAG SAT test.
• As well as the use of full stops/ capital letters, children will be expected to know and
understand the terms:
• adjective, verb, noun,
• suffix (can be added to verbs where no change is needed in the spelling of root words
(e.g. helping, helped, helper)
• prefix (changes the meaning of verbs and adjectives kind –unkind, happy – unhappy)
• Spelling Patterns:
• Adding s/ es to words (cat –cats, match – matches)
• Adding the endings –ing, –ed and –er to verbs where no change is needed to the root
word (jump, jumping, jumped, jumper)
Phonics
• Phonics is the basis of reading and spelling and
we follow a program called Letters and Sounds.
• Six phases which start in F2 and normally finish
in Year 2, but for some this will continue into
KS2.
• Split into ability groups, dependent on the phase
they are working in. We currently have 6 groups
which are split between year 1 and 2.
Spellings
• Spelling sent home in a folder on a Friday and
they will be tested the following Wednesday.
(If your child has Mrs Williams/Mrs Hampson for
phonics they will be given their spellings in a
book.)
• Please try and practice them daily for a short
5/10 minute slot.
• There are many ways to practice spellings –
please see the sheet in your pack.
Reading
• Guided reading – group reading with an
adult.
• Individual reading books
• One week guided/ one week individual.
• Strategies for reading: Using phonics,
pictorial cues, making sense of the
sentence.
• Comprehension
Reading
• Changing their books is now an independent
activity.
• Please encourage them to do this first thing in
the morning.
• Bug Club – we will be getting them up and
running again after half term.
Wonder Words
• Your child will be given wonder words in their
yellow reading record book. The wonder words
are colour banded however they don’t match
the reading book colours.
• They need to be able to read them on sight
rather than sound them out.
• They will be tested during the week which will
be recorded in their reading record. Once they
have read them correctly twice they will move to
the next colour.
Handwriting
• Charlie writing – bases every letter
formation after a character called Charlie.
• Enables children to join with more ease.
• All letters start from the line.
Numeracy
• Strategies for addition and subtraction:
• Starts off practically using objects and
pictoral representation of calculations.
• Numberlines: we use this for addition and
subtraction.
• Calculations are set out horizontally not
vertically e.g 7+5=12 with single digits and
then move to vertically when addding two
two digit numbers.
Numeracy
• Children are taught to count on mentally
keeping the largest number in their head.
• When they are ready we move children
onto constructing their own numberlines.
Homework
• Your child should read daily for 10mins including
reading their Wonder Words.
• Please write in your childs yellow reading diary
so we know you have read with them.
• Spellings should be practised daily for 5 mins.
• The children will be given a pick and mix
homework based on our topic each term. Later
in the term the children will have access to bug
club, education city and DB Primary work to do
at home.
Assessment
• Children are no longer assessed in National
Curriculum Levels.
• We, as a school, have chosen to assess in
bands that relate to the National Curriculum
objectives for each year group.
• They will be assessed throughout the year as
working below, within or secure in band 1
(Year 1) objectives.
• We have given you a copy of the maths and
English objectives that your child is working
towards.
