There are no formal exams at this level, but the children are given regular tests by the class teacher to assess their progress. The children are working towards Level 4 of the National Curriculum which correlates closely to the French programme. The teachers have agreed that certain areas of maths will be studied in French, and others in the language sections, e.g. geometry will be done in French. In the programme the children are expected to become familiar with times tables up to 10 x 10 and carry out more mental arithmetic than in the French programme. Programme/Syllabus: Recognising and using numbers up to 1000 and beyond Recognising and using mathematical symbols, e.g. more than, less than, brackets Sorting numbers into sets Counting in 10 s, 100 s Carrying out calculations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division Recognising odd and even numbers
Recognising numbers in words and numbers Mental arithmetic Recognising and using fractions (Geometry themes are covered in French class) Create and use grids Measurement of length, weight and time Carry out problem solving activities Data handling, e.g. interpreting graphs Using specific mathematical vocabulary Maths themes covered : Term 1: Number patterns Number place value Strategies for developing skills in addition (including carrying over) Rounding up /down to nearest 10, 100 Learning times tables by heart: x2, x3, x4 Strategies for developing skills in subtraction (including carrying over) Mental maths +,- Counting in 1s, 10s, 100s Time: units of time, reading a calendar, telling the time to nearest 5 mins/ nearest minute, digital and analogue clocks Data handling: Creating and interpreting tally charts Word problems Maths games on computer Term 2: Learning times tables by heart: x4, x5 (consolidate), x6, x7, x8, x9, x10 (consolidate) Discovering the link between multiplication and division Basic division Doubling and halving Strategies for multiplying larger numbers Data handling: Creating and interpreting Carroll diagrams, Venn diagrams, Bar charts Maths games on the computer Word problems Mental maths +, -, x European maths day World maths day Fractions basic fractions, mixed numbers, fractions of numbers Create and use grids Measurement of length, weight, time and money Revision and consolidation of maths topics covered during the school year Maths games on the computer Mental maths Word problems * There may be some overlapping of themes from one term to another Classe/ Class: CE2 Matière/ Subject: Science Nom de l enseignant/ Teacher s name : Sarah Section: Nombre d heures hebdomadaires/ Number of hours per week: Approx. 1 hour
Présentation et objectifs du cours/ Aims and objectives of the course: To develop an awareness of life processes living things, e.g. growth, habitats, food chains, the human body and personal safety; to understand safety with electricity and identify solids, liquids and gasses. There are no formal exams at this age, but the children will be tested at the end of each study unit to assess their understanding of the subject. The children are working towards Level 4 of the National Curriculum, but there are very few similarities in the French programme. The children will study the human body in both languages. Programme/ Syllabus: Study plants and animals, in particular growth, food chains and diversification Study the human body, muscles and movement Examine solids, liquids and gasses Develop personal safety skills Themes covered : Term 1 : Skeleton and bones Muscles and movement The body and its needs: healthy eating, exercise, sleep etc Term 2: Living/ not living/ has never lived Life processes Classifying living things Food chains Personal safety skills (project in conjunction with other language sections ) Changing states of materials Gasses, liquids and solids *There may be some overlapping of themes from one term to another Classe/ Class: CE2 Section: Matière/ Subject: The Arts Nom de l enseignant/ Teacher s name: Sarah Nombre d heures hebdomadaires/ Number of hours per week: Approx. 1½ hours Présentation et objectifs du cours/ Aims and objectives of the course: To encourage artistic expression, through art, music and movement, both working individually and with others; to encourage observation and evaluation of their own, other children s and famous artists work; to develop greater control over their movements, e.g. variation on speed, direction and level in sport, breathing when singing, pencil control when drawing. There are no formal exams at this age, but the children will be tested at the end of each study unit to assess their understanding of the subject. The children are working towards Level 4 of the National
Curriculum and there are many similarities between the and French programmes. The teachers share resources and expertise in order to facilitate the children s learning. Programme/ Syllabus: Explore and develop ideas through observation, research and personal experience Develop skills using various materials and tools Examine colour, pattern and texture, working in two and three-dimensions Look at work by other artists and learn to assess their own and other s work Sing a variety of songs, both in unison and parts Rehearse in order to perform Play percussion instruments, improvising, composing in groups and individually Listen to music, gaining awareness of pitch, rhythm, historical background Begin to use symbols to record music Create and perform dances using a variety of movement patterns, responding to a range of stimuli Play and make up competitive games, using tactics, skills and cooperation Create and perform fluent sequences on the floor and using apparatus, including variation in level, speed and direction Take part in activities which require speed, power or stamina, using running, jumping and throwing skills. The Arts yearly planning : A maximum of themes identified in the programmes will be covered over the school year but it is not possible to detail an exact plan as we are still awaiting notification for the timetabling of certain facilities such as sports rooms/outdoor areas etc. There will usually be a music/choir, sport and art lesson each week (linked to other curriculum areas whenever appropriate).
