P.S.H.E
• This is the most important subject we teach!
• It is a known fact that happy children are happy learners.
• Our job is to encourage children’s learning through support, building self esteem and confidence and creating a happy environment through which they learn.
• Jigsaw resources
Organisation of the Day
Structured timetable. • Literacy, phonics, numeracy, science,
geography, history, DT, art, P.E., P.S.H.E., music and R.E. covered in the week!
• Differentiated work in all subjects according to the ability of the child.
Phonics
• Basics for reading and spelling • Structured programme – 6 phases • Groups organised according to phases
Reading
• Reading bands – regular assessments • Reading challenge in the back of yellow reading records. • Guided Reading – children are put into groups and share
a text. Discuss text and answer questions.
• Through the year we read many different genres: • fiction such as fantasy, traditional stories and adventure
stories. • Non-fiction: instructions, explanations, dictionary work
and recounts
Helping at Home • Techniques when helping with reading: • Use picture clues • Context clues – read ahead to find out what word could be. • Apply phonic knowledge • Helping more confident Readers: • Encourage fluency and intonation. • Developing comprehension skills and particularly deeper understanding of
the text, using reasoning. Eg Why do you think that happened? • Share books with your child or read to them. Book talk is important, discuss
the characters, what they think is going to happen etc. • Reading is not just about books – there are words all around us –
encourage them to read instructions, recipes, newspapers, signs etc.
Writing
• Important children learn to write in sentences using a capital letter and full stop.
• Develop structure including joining words. • Encourage children to say what they want to
write, then write, then read it back aloud so they ‘hear’ where punctuation should go.
• Children learn to write in different genres e.g. diary, recount, instructions, narrative, non-chronological report, explanation and poetry.
SPAG – Spelling, punctuation and grammar • This year there will be a government
implemented separate SPAG test. • We will be teaching grammar explicitly during
English lessons. • Introducing vocabulary such as; Noun, verb, adverb, suffix, prefix, pronouns,
adjectives, past and present tenses. You could help by correcting their speech if they
say a sentence which is grammatically incorrect.
Spellings • Teach words which can be decoded phonetically and
tricky words. • Weekly spellings will support sounds learnt in their
phases. • Weekly spellings - children will be expected to practise
their spellings at least 5 times a week. • How you can help? • Look, cover, write, check • Calling out the words in different order • Use rainbow writing • Sentences – using each word and encouraging
punctuation • Oral testing – this is a different skill • We will be giving 5 spellings but testing on ten.
Handwriting
• Charlie Writing – cursive print which enables children to join much easier.
• Each letter has a story about Charlie! • All letters start from the line. • Children often do beautiful letters in
handwriting but do not apply them to their work – it will come!
• Handouts
Numeracy • Lessons sometimes begin with a mental
starter. • Children encouraged to learn their number
bonds first to 20 • Doubles of numbers • Counting in 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s • PLEASE help your child to practise writing
their numbers at home. • We now have a maths at home book.
Apparatus
In activities children are encouraged to use: • apparatus such as unifix , counters or
place value cards. • A hundred square (very useful to spot
patterns) • A number line
How you can help.
• Ask your child to work out change in a shop or add small amounts together.
• Play shop with them. • Measure quantities when cooking including
weight and capacity. • Draw attention to measures on jars, tins and
bottles. • Point out different 2-D and 3-D shapes. • Time – have a large clock in their room. • Quick fire 2, 5 and 10 times table questions.
