1 The New National Curriculum and Assessment at Brunswick Park Year 2 Parents and Carers Information Morning.

2 The New National Curriculum All schools must follow the new National Curriculum from this year. This year is a changeover year for Year 2. Emphasis is on core skills. Expectations for each year group have increased. Increased emphasis on the importance of Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPAG) and handwriting. Greater emphasis on traditional stories and performing poems. More difficult calculations and times tables earlier on.

3 What will my child learn to do in writing lessons? Write narratives about personal experiences and those of others, both real and fictional. Write for different purposes, including real events.

4 Planning Plan and discuss the content of their writing and record their ideas. Orally rehearse sentences or sequences of sentences.

5 Editing Evaluate my writing independently, with friends and with an adult. Proof-read and check for errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation.

6 Handwriting Form lower-case letters of the correct size relative to one another. Begin to use some of the diagonal and horizontal strokes needed to join letters and know which letters are best left unjoined. Use capital letters and digits of the correct size, orientation and relationship to one another and to lower case letters. Leave an appropriate size space between words. Handwriting

7 Spelling Segment spoken words into phonemes and record these as graphemes. Spell words with alternative spellings, including a few common homophones. Spell longer words using suffixes such as ment, ness, ful, less, ly. Use their knowledge of alternative phonemes to narrow down possibilities for accurate spelling. Identify phonemes in unfamiliar words and use syllables to divide words.

8 Grammar and Punctuation Use subordinating (e.g. while, when, because, if) and co-ordinating conjunctions (e.g. and, or, but, so) in their writing. Use expanded noun phrases (e.g. The old woman with curly hair) Consistently use the present tense and past tense correctly. Use the progressive forms of verbs in the present and past tense. Use capital letters for names of people, places, days of the week and the personal pronoun I. Use question marks and exclamation marks correctly. Use commas to separate items in a list. Use apostrophes to show where letters are missing and to mark singular possession in nouns.

9 What will my child learn in reading? Comprehension Talk about and give an opinion on a range of texts. Discuss the sequence of events in books and how they relate to each other. Use prior knowledge, including context and vocabulary to understand texts. Retell stories, including fairy stories and traditional tales. Read for meaning and check that the text makes sense. Find examples of recurring language in stories and poems. Talk about their favourite words and phrases in stories and poems. Recite some poems by heart, with appropriate intonation. Answer and ask questions about what they have read. Make predictions based on what they have read. Draw simple inferences from illustrations, events, characters actions and speech.

10 Word Reading Decode automatically and fluently. Blend sounds in words that contain the graphemes they have learnt. Recognise and read alternative sounds for graphemes. Read accurately words of two or more syllables that contain the same GPCs. Read words with common suffixes. Read common exception words. Read and comment on unusual correspondence between a grapheme and a phoneme. Read most words quickly and accurately when they have read them before without sounding out and blending. Read age appropriate books with fluency and confidence.

11 What will my child learn in Maths in Year 2?

12 Count in steps of 2, 3 and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and backward. Read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words. Compare and order numbers from 0 to 100 using < > = signs. Recognise the place value of each digit in a 2 digit number. Identify and estimate numbers on a number line. Use place value and number facts to solve problems. Counting

13 Adding and Subtracting Recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently. Derive and use addition and subtraction facts up to 100. Add and subtract numbers mentally and using concrete objects/pictorial representations(e.g. 23+9, 43+70, 34+45, 7+3+4, 23-9, 70-54, 75-16) Recognise and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and use this to check calculations and missing number problems. Solve addition and subtraction problems using a written or mental method.

14 Multiplication and Division Calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the multiplication tables and write them using the multiplication, division and equals signs. Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10x tables, including recognising odd and even numbers. Solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts, including problems in context. Understand that addition or multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and subtraction or division of one number from another cannot.

15 Fractions Recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3, 1/4, 2/4 and 3/4 of a length, shape, set of objects or quantity. Recognise that 2/4 and ½ are equivalent.

16 Compare and sort common 2D and 3D shapes. Identify and describe the properties of 2D shapes, including the number of sides and lines of symmetry in a vertical line. Identify and describe the properties of 3D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces. Identify 2D shapes on the surface of 3D shapes. Use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement. Shape

17 Compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity and record the results using > < and =. Choose and use standard units to estimate and measure length/height in any direction in m and cm using rulers. Choose and use standard units to estimate and measure mass in kg and g using scales. Choose and use standard units to estimate and measure temperature in ºC using thermometers. Choose and use standard units to estimate and measure capacity in l and ml using measuring vessels. Measures

18 Money Recognise and use symbols for and p and combine amounts to make a particular value. Find different combinations of coins that equal the same amount of money. Add and subtract amounts of money to find totals and change.

19 Time Tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter to/past and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times. Compare and sequence intervals of time. Know that there are 60 minutes in one hour and 24 hours in one day.

20 Statistics Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and tables, and ask and answer simple questions about what they show.

21 Assessment New Curriculum Each school is responsible for designing how they assess. This year your child will continue to be assessed using levels. From next year we will use the Sheffield STAT system to assess English and Maths.

22 How will my child be assessed? Phonics screening if they didn t pass in Y1. In Year 2 assessment is based on the work that your child does throughout the year. They will do some tests in order to help inform teacher judgements but the teachers judgement is most important.

23 Levels Level What does this mean? 1c 1b 1a Expected level at the end of Year 1 2c 2b Expected level at the end of Year 2 2a 3c 3b

24 Steps E1 (Entering 1) 37 This means that your child is beginning to achieve some of the Year 1 objectives. D1 (Developing 39 This means that your child is achieving at least 2/3 of the Year 1 objectives. 1) S1 (Secure 1) 41 This means that your child is achieving all the Year 1 objectives together with the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) E2 (Entering 2) 43 This means that your child is beginning to achieve some of the Year 2 objectives. D2 (Developing 45 This means that your child is achieving at least 2/3 of the Year 2 objectives. 2) S2 (Secure 2) 47 This means that your child is achieving all the Year 2 objectives together with the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) E3 (Entering 3) 49 This means that your child is beginning to achieve some of the Year 3 objectives. D3 (Developing 51 This means that your child is achieving at least 2/3 of the Year 3 objectives. 3) S3 (Secure 3) 53 This means that your child is achieving all the Year 3 objectives together with the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
