Editor's Notes
- #2 Assessments now include: All children have to complete: 2 Maths papers 2 Reading Papers A Spag Test Teacher Assessed writing
- #3 The Maths assessments will consist of 2 papers- Paper 1 Arithmetic and Paper 2 Reasoning. The children will not be allowed to use any apparatus for any of the papers therefore confidence with jottings, written methods and mental maths skills is VITAL!
- #4 NATALIE and ANDREA The paper 1 Arithmetic test ……marks/ time-recommended is context free, consisting of just mental maths questions or number sentences. The children can still use jottings and written methods and some questions will allow 2 marks for accurate working out shown. Therefore it is extremely important that children are confident with the written methods we have taught them.
- #5 Paper 2-Reasoning- consists of problem solving questions presented in a wide range of formats e.g. multiple choice, matching, true/false, constrained (e.g. completing a chart or table; drawing a shape) and less constrained (e.g. where children have to show or explain their method). (flick through examples)- this allows the children to demonstrate that they can apply their skills in a variety of ways. 75-85% of these questions will focus on number, particularly children’s ability to work with larger numbers and apply basic number facts. There will also be a high focus on calculating and fractions, as well as assessing children’s knowledge of shape and measures. Difficulties- particularly LA- retaining number facts and then applying them. - Showing their working out. Support- Rainbow challenge supported this- now Year 1 do this it will be even better. - Worked on applying to solving problems as often as possible. - Ensuring we were consistent with using the maths policy for written methods- providing opportunities for the children to use these independently.
- #6 NATALIE and ANDREA Difficulty levels of paper 1 and 2 The children will be completing 2 reading papers. Both papers are in line with our higher reading bands (purple onwards). Paper 1 is a combined test and question/answer booklet. This is the shorter text of the two and is slightly easier than paper 2. Paper 2 is the more challenging paper and consists of a separate reading and answer booklet (Lime).
- #7 NATALIE and ANDREA Both papers will focus on the children’s understanding of vocabulary/comprehension skills. For example…. (read bullet points) We will share how you can help your child with preparing for this at the end of the presentation.
- #8 NATALIE and ANDREA Both papers consist of a lot of retrieval and deduction questions. Retrieval questions require the children to locate answers directly from the text. An example of a paper 1 retrieval question–– ant example The children will also be assessed on deduction questions. These are more challenging as they require the children to read between the lines of a text and look for the clues- e.g. understanding that finding a boat makes the characters lucky.
- #9 NATALIE and ANDREA Paper 2 examples There is a strong focus on assessing the children’s understanding of vocabulary. For example, this paper 2 question requires the children to read the points on the table and then to answer question 11 understand that poisonous means dangerous. Therefore it is really important that we are widening the children’s vocabulary where possible to ensure they are confident with these question types. Difficulties- deduction questions - showing an understanding of vocabulary Support – we found using our achievement team targets to focus on this helped.
- #10 NATALIE and ANDREA The children will now be assessed on their English grammar, punctuation and spelling. Paper 1 will be a spelling test and Paper 2 is a grammar and punctuation test.
- #11 NATALIE and ANDREA The spelling test is not strictly timed but should take around 15 to 20 minutes to complete. It consists of 20 words. The children will be given each missing word from the sentences in their booklet by their teacher. This will be read on its own and then within the sentence . There are a lot of challenging words within the test requiring the children to be confident with a range of spelling patterns, for example rules for adding suffixes such as dropping the e before adding ‘ing’ (bake- baking) and also being confident with which graphemes belong to which words, e.g. knowing that it is ‘kn’ for the ‘n’ sound in knew. Spelling examples – challenging words! Children will need to know which graphemes (e.g. kn for /n/ sound in knew) and spelling patterns (e.g. drop the e before adding ing in baking)
- #12 NATALIE and ANDREA The grammar and punctuation paper mainly focuses on word types, sentence types, punctuation and past and present tenses. It requires multiple choice or short sentence answers, covering areas such as using joining words (because, but, however), using pronouns (I/me/she) correctly, capitalising the correct words in a sentence and explaining why, putting the correct punctuation into a given sentence, writing sentences that illustrate two different meanings of the same word, identifying the verb, adverb, noun and adjective in a sentence and using plurals correctly. Difficulties- a lot to cover in one year- particularly word types. Support- lots of morning activities and English starters focusing on this- also allowed them to become familiar with format of paper.
- #13 AMY There is not a writing paper – your child’s writing will be assessed by their teacher using something called the interim framework. We use Big Writing sessions to give the children opportunities to write at length throughout the year and the most recent pieces of writing will be assessed.
- #14 AMY This is the interim framework – the guidance the government has produced to show teachers the expected standard. This slide shows the objectives for children working towards the expected standard. There is a much bigger emphasis on punctuation, handwriting and spelling than in previous years.
- #15 AMY These are the objectives for children working at the expected standard. Children are expected to use a range of punctuation, word types and sentence types confidently, to use the correct tense and to use joining words. They should spell confidently including contractions and adding suffixes. Miss Myers and Mrs Harrison are working hard to teach the children joined letters so that they can begin to join their handwriting in all lessons. The children have to meet all of the expectations to meet the expected standard – it is not a best fit judgement anymore as it has been in previous years. Difficulties- Children using and being aware that they are using a range of sentence types. - Tenses - Getting evidence that they could use particular spelling rules- used starters as a focus etc.
