Transcription

1 The National Tests SATS are the national tests in Literacy and Numeracy for children at the end of Years 2, 6 and 9. Schools are required to use these tests to get a picture of how well their pupils are doing in each subject, compared to children at other schools nationally. Your child's final outcome will be arrived at through teacher assessment as this gives a more accurate picture of how your child is progressing overall. All assessments that take place throughout the year inform teachers' planning to ensure the individual needs of the children are being met. 28/05/03 13:05 1

2 SATS General Information SATS are held during May. Children sit the tests before lunch and normal curriculum activities continue in the afternoon. Please make sure that you do not plan any activities that may result in you taking your child out of school during the SATS week. SATS are part of the ongoing assessment process. At the end of the year class teachers will use the results to inform/confirm their final judgements. 28/05/03 13:11 2

5 Reading Oct 2 18:50 5

6 Reading input in the curriculum Whole class shared reading comprehension - practice in reading, understanding and finding the answer within the text. Opportunity 1 x weekly to practice these skills in group work. Small guided reading session - opportunity to develop and use key reading strategies, answering questions about a text and time for teacher assessment. Individual reading - time to practice and address any specific issues. Reading for enjoyment - Exposure to a wide range of text types. Class story read to the children. Reading to broaden subject knowledge across the whole curriculum - e.g. reading scientific books Sep 26 11:05 6

7 Please do not underestimate the importance of reading to your child on a regular basis. The benefits are enormous and all children love being read to. It exposes the children to a rich and varied vocabulary. It also gives them the opportunity to hear a wide range of exciting texts. It is also extremely powerful to read in front of your child.

30 Writing Oct 2 18:51 30

31 Writing The written task has been removed and writing will instead be assessed through teacher assessment. Oct 2 18:51 31

32 Writing input in the curriculum During the year we cover a wide range of genre, from stories and poems to reports and instruction writing Children are introduced to the features of each genre e.g. story opener, chronological ordering, rhyming etc. Children are encouraged to write in full sentences and use a range of punctuation. It is important for children to check their work for sense, begin to edit and improve own work and to use language appropriate to genre. Children are reminded to use learnt words and spelling patterns within their writing. Sep 26 13:51 32

33 Numeracy Oct 2 18:51 33

34 KS1 Mathematics Tests In mathematics at KS1, an arithmetic test has been introduced. There are two papers, Paper 1: arithmetic Paper 2: reasoning. Oct 2 18:51 34

35 Numeracy SATS Papers It is not a reading test and children are fully supported with reading the questions. Definitions can not be given and it is important that children understand the mathematical vocabulary. In January children will start to be exposed to practice SATS materials and will become very used to answering questions in the set format. Children have plenty of time to complete the test. Sep 26 14:49 35

36 KS1 Mathematics tests Paper 1: arithmetic assesses pupils confidence and mathematical fluency with whole numbers, place value and counting. The test consists of a single test paper. It is expected that the test will take approximately 20 minutes to complete but it is not strictly timed. Some items in the arithmetic test have grids in the answer spaces or working out spaces. The grids are there for questions where the pupils may benefit from using more formal methods for calculations. Oct 2 18:51 36

55 Calculation policy If you are unsure how to help your children at home with numeracy or do not know what methods of calculations your child has been introduced to our calculation policy can be found on the school oli.kingston.sch.uk then click on policies then curriculum. Feb 20 17:36 55

56 Important Points to Remember Year 2 is a very demanding year. Children are becoming used to a much faster pace of work and a more formal curriculum. They will be tired when they get home! At home short regular sessions of homework are far more beneficial than longer sessions once a week. Children are given the opportunity to practice for the SATS papers at school. There is no need to buy or ask your child to complete any other work. Work sent home by your class teacher, in conjunction with class work, will be enough to prepare your child for the SATS in May. Year 2 children as still very young and it is important are seen by them as just a part of normal assessment procedures. Oct 8 18:22 56
