Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 1 The main aims: • to raise standards • address the perception that children in England are falling behind some of their international counterparts • designed to produce productive, creative and well educated students. Adapted from original by Michael Tidd The New Curriculum: • is more challenging • content is actually slimmer than the old curriculum • focus on essential core subject knowledge and skills Adapted from original by Michael Tidd The goal posts have changed but the DFE has this to say: ‘We make no apologies for having high expectations for our children,’ DfE spokesperson. ‘We believe they can achieve more, and we will not stand by and allow pupils to lose ground with their peers in countries across the world.’ Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 4 What happens when? For most children, the changes began last September, but children in Years 2 and 6 will follow the existing programmes of study until September 2015 in English, Maths and Science. Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 5 Reception remains the same Prime areas are fundamental, work together, and move through to support development in all other areas. • Personal, Social and Emotional Development • Communication and Language • Physical Development Specific areas include essential skills and knowledge for children to participate successfully in society. • Literacy • Mathematics • Understanding the World • Expressive Arts and Design Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 7 Adapted from original by Michael Tidd LITERACY Spoken Language Reading Writing Word Reading Transcription Comprehension Spelling Handwriting Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Composition Grammar Punctuation Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Adapted from original by Michael Tidd The new Curriculum is set out Year by Year for KS1 and 2-yearly in KS2, so Years 3 & 4 share the same objectives, as do Years 5 & 6. Appendices to the Curriculum give specific Spellings, Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation for each Year Group or 2-year grouping Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Quick glance - changes to the Year One Curriculum •Reading of phonically-suitable texts •Reading words with contractions (eg: it's) •Reading words with regular endings •Making inferences from texts •Learning and reciting poetry •Re-reading own writing to check for sense •Read own work clearly enough to be heard by others •Using capital letters for proper nouns •Introduction to question and exclamation marks •Spell the days of the week Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Quick glance - changes to the Year Two Curriculum to be taught from September 2015! •Reading of phonically-suitable texts •Re-reading texts to increase fluency and expression •Reading a wide range of stories and retell these •Making inferences from texts and explain reasons for answers •Learning and reciting contemporary and classic poetry •Proof reading own writing and editing spellings, grammar and punctuation where necessary •Use the correct tenses correctly throughout writing •Use apostrophes for contractions and possession •Use commas in lists, exclamation and question marks Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Quick glance - changes to the Lower Key Stage Two (Years 3 & 4) Curriculum •Recognise different forms of poetry •Prepare poetry for performance and recite with fluency and expression •Use fronted adverbials in writing •Learning and reciting contemporary and classic poetry •Proof reading, editing and evaluating own writing, making changes where necessary •Use dictionaries to check spellings •Write from memory simple dictated sentences using appropriate punctuation and spellings Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Quick glance - changes to the Upper Key Stage Two (Years 5 & 6) Curriculum Note: Year Six to begin September 2015 •Use dictionaries for spellings and thesaurus for alternative word choices •Greatly increased spelling requirements •Learn a wide range of poetry by heart, performing it using intonation, tone and volume so that meaning is clear to an audience •Use commas, semi-colons, colons, dashes and brackets to convey meaning in writing •Self and peer evaluate writing, editing vocabulary choices and punctuation to improve clarity of meaning •Make notes on longer passages of writing •Greatly increased knowledge of grammar specifics Adapted from original by Michael Tidd MATHS • increased expectation • more demands have been put on pupils of all ages and many objectives have been brought forward in the curriculum • emphasis on breadth rather than rushing on to the next stage. Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 17 Aims to ensure all children: •Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics •Be able to reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry •Solve problems by applying their mathematics •Mastering year group objectives before moving on Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 18 Maths Programme of Study Year by year programme of study Main areas: Number Measurement Geometry (shape and position) Statistics Ratio and proportion Algebra Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 19 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Number: Number and Place Value Number: Addition and Subtraction Number: Multiplication and Division Fractions (including decimals and percentages) Ratio and Proportion Algebra Measurement Geometry: Properties of Shape Geometry: Position and Direction Statistics Adapted from original by Michael Tidd What’s Out? - There is no longer a separate strand for using and applying mathematics- it’s across all areas - Calculators (greater importance placed on mental fluency and efficient written methods) - Informal written methods of calculation- more traditional methods for written ‘sums’ Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 21 What is there more of? • More challenging objectives, especially in number • Formal written methods are introduced earlier • More work on fractions in Key Stage 2. • Times Tables expected by the end of Year 4. Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 22 Mathematics – KS1 Note: Year 2 from 2015 Rounding to nearest 10 removed from KS1 Y1: No data handling required Y1: Counting & writing numbers to 100 Y1: Write numbers words to 20 Y1: Number bonds to 20 Y2: Finding fractions of quantities Y2: Adding two-digit numbers Y2: Telling the time to nearest 5 minutes Y2: Make comparisons using < > = symbols Y2: Solve simple money problems using £/p Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Mathematics – LKS2 No ratio required in LKS2 Written division moved to UKS2 No calculator skills included Carroll / Venn diagrams no longer required Y3: Formal written methods for + & — Y3: Compare and order easy fractions Y3: Vocabulary of angles & lines Y3: Time including 24h clock & Roman numerals Y4: Recognise equivalent fractions/decimals Y4: Solve fractions & decimals problems Y4: Perimeter/area of compound shapes Y4: Know multiplication tables to 12 x 12 Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Mathematics – UKS2 Note: Year 6 from 2015 No calculator skills included No probability included Data handling greatly reduced content Y5: Use decimals to 3dp, including problems Y5: Use standard multiplication & division methods Y5: Add/subtract fractions with same denominator Y5: Multiply fractions by whole numbers Y6: Long division Y6: Calculate decimal equivalent of fractions Y6: Use formula for area & volume of shapes Y6: Calculate area of triangles & parallelograms Y6: Introductory algebra & equation-solving Adapted from original by Michael Tidd Summer Reports Assessment is changing Children’s attainment will be reported with reference to ‘Age Related Expectations’ (except Years 2 and 6) • • • • Working below age related expectations Working within age related expectations Achieved age related expectations Mastered age related expectations Adapted from original by Michael Tidd We will hold an ‘Assessment’ evening during the summer term to share more details with you.
