Assessment Information Evening Over St. John’s CE Primary School
The National Curriculum In 2014 the Government launched a new National Curriculum The new National Curriculum is harder than the old The goal posts have moved
Examples In the old curriculum, Year 1 children were expected to work with numbers up to 20; however with the new curriculum, they are now expected to work with numbers up to 100.
Examples Year 1 children are now also expected to know and understand terms such as: adjectives, noun phrase, connectives…
Age Related Expectations Levels: • 1 c 1 b 1 a • 2 c 2 b 2 a • 3 c 3 b 3 a • 4 c 4 b 4 a • 5 c 5 b 5 a • 6 c Age Related Expectations • • • Year 1 = band 1 Year 2 = band 2 Year 3 = band 3 Year 4 = band 4 Year 5 = band 5 Year 6 = band 6
An average Year 1 child would be expected to be working in Band 1. A Year 2 = Band 2 etc…
However … Some children will be working above age related expectations and some below. In these cases, their band will not be the same as their year group.
At the end of the year On the end of the school year report, your child will be assessed against these new end of year expectations and will get a number related to their band a letter that shows where they are within the band. The letter will be either B (beginning) W (within) S (secure) B W S
For Example 5 b The b shows that they are Beginning the band The five says they are working in Band 5 This means they are beginning Year 5 expectations B W S
For Example 4 w The four says they are working in Band 4 B This means they are within Year 4 expectations W The w shows that they are Within the band S
For Example 1 s The one says they are working in Band 1 B This means they are secure with the Year 1 expectations W The s shows that they are Secure the band S
Phonics Letter and Sounds in Year 1
Phonics Screening All year 1 children take part in the Phonics Screening test. This happens in June every year.
Phonics in Year 1 We follow the Letters and Sounds programme for the teaching of phonics at Over St John’s CE Primary School. � The aim is to secure essential phonics knowledge and skills so that children can progress quickly to independent reading and writing. � Reading and writing are like a code: phonics is teaching the child to crack the code. � Gives us the skills of blending for reading and segmenting for spelling.
How do we deliver phonics? Phonics is taught every day for 20 minutes. Fast paced approach Includes songs, games and rhymes Carefully planned sessions that allow the children to review sounds, learn new sounds, practise their sounds and then apply them to their reading or writing
There are 44 sounds to learn And many different ways of writing each one
Why are the children being screened? Every Year 1 child in the country will be taking the phonics screening check in the same week in June. The aim of the check is to ensure that all children are able to read by the end of year two.
What will the children be expected to do? The check is very similar to tasks the children already complete during phonics lessons. Children will be asked to ‘sound out’ a word and blend the sounds together. eg d-o-g - dog The focus of the check is to see which sounds the children know and therefore the children will be asked to read made up ‘nonsense/alien’ words. THIS IS NOT A READING TEST
Examples of words
When does the test take place? The screening will take place throughout the a given week in June. The children cannot retake the test at any other time so it is very important your child is in school during this week. You will be informed if your child has reached the threshold in a letter with your child’s report.
Where will the test take place? The children will complete the check one at a time in a quiet area of the school. Their teacher will conduct all of the screening checks with the children. The screening will only take 5 -10 mins with each child.
How can you help? Encourage your child to ‘sound out’ when reading or writing. Focusing particularly on spotting more unusual sound patterns. Digraph- 2 letters making one sound - ow cow Trigraphs- 3 letters making one sound - igh night Split digraphs- 2 vowels with a consonant in-between. Use to be known as the magic e! - - i_e spine
How can you help? Robot arms Sound buttons
How can you help? Encourage your child to use their sound mat when writing and use their actions to find the sound they need. Children can practise their phonics by playing games online. E. g. Buried treasure Website lists are available http: //www. phonicsplay. co. uk/Buried. Tre asure 2. html
Technical vocabulary Please do not be phased by the technical vocabulary as we have a handy leaflet explaining all the terms to you. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your child will learn the terms too!
