Reading







Book bag

• Reading is hugely important for our children. We do expect all children to be reading every day.

• We shall also be teaching them about other reading skills, such as, skimming and scanning the text to find clues to answer questions. So when they read to you, try asking them questions about what they have read.

• We will give them the opportunity to make predictions or deductions about a text and also find the inferred meanings behind the text.

• We will be reading our shared text every day and using this as a stimulus for writing and grammar.

Spelling

Each week there will be a spelling lesson

introducing and exploring key spelling rules or

patterns.

Word lists will be sent home via ‘Marvellous Me’

and information about spelling tasks can be found

in their Spelling Journals.

As a school, we will be using ‘Spelling Shed’ and

this is something children will be encouraged to

continue using at home.

Spelling progress assessed regularly (based on

learnt spelling rules).

Homework

• Daily Reading

• Timestable Rockstars

• Spelling

• ½ Termly Research Project

Reading Journals

• The children will be given a reading journal. This must go home everyday and come back into school each day.

• They will record all their reading and reading related tasks within this journal – including independent reading, peer reading, guided reading, reading with an adult and any reading journal tasks.

• They will be shown how to set their journal out and it is important that they keep this book as neat as they would their other school books. Please encourage them to only use pencil in it at the moment.

• We expect them to have 3 pieces of signed reading homework logged in this journal each week. The journals will be collected and monitored regularly. Remember, little and often is the most productive.

Reading Journals

Writing

• At school the children are encouraged to use joined up cursive script.

• Please encourage them to use this in any work they do at home too.

• KS2 English requires the children to work in different ways but most importantly there is an emphasis on drafting, editing, improving and then producing a neat copy.

Maths Mastery

Certain principles and features characterise this approach:

• Teachers reinforce an expectation that all pupils are capable of achieving high standards in mathematics.

• All children do the same task. Differentiation is achieved through emphasising deeper knowledge and individual support or use of concrete resources.

• The intention of these approaches is to provide all children with full access to the curriculum, enabling them to achieve confidence and competence –‘mastery’ – in mathematics

Marking

• To make the editing and marking process really visual we use highlighters.

• Pink = Perfect (accurate use of given task)

• Blue = Better (How can you make this better?)

• We don’t want the children to see making an error as a bad thing. It is part of their learning and therefore it is important that they have the chance to improve

• Purple = Progress (This is my improvement)

• Staff will write comments in green
