Word Meaning (Master Decoder) What other word could be used here that would give the same meaning? Whole Text Meaning (Master Architect) Explain how the character changes through the story. Prediction (Master Forecaster) Have you read something similar to this? Will this story go the same way? Comparison (Master Judge) Is it as good as… Inference (Master Detective) What makes you think that… Can you explain why… What evidence is there for… Why does x feel… Language for Effect (Master Interpreter) Why did the writer choose to use this word?

Helping to Prepare Children-

Key Prompts for Supporting Reasoning during Homework

• “Start by describing the question” “Say what you

see”

• “What do you need to do?”
• “Which areas of maths do you need to use?”
• “Is there anything that makes it difficult?”
• “Is there anything that you could do to make it

easier?” Would a bar model help?

• “Is your answer reasonable? How could you

check your answer?”

(ten million) and say the value of each digit

• 2. I can round any number to a required degree of accuracy
• 3. I can use negative numbers in context when looking at temperature
• r money; counting in jumps forwards and backwards through 0
• 4. I can solve number and practical problems that involve ordering and

comparing numbers to 10 000 000, rounding to a required degree of accuracy, using negative numbers and calculating intervals across zero

Results - July

• National end of Y6 reporting - based on whether

children have achieved the ‘age related expectation’ for their year group (scaled score).

• If they received a scaled score of 100 or more then

they are at the expected standard for that test.

• A scaled score of 110+ is identified as a pupil working

at ‘Greater Depth’

KS2 Teacher Assessment

• Statutory teacher assessment will continue for

writing and science

• Schools are no longer required to make statutory

teacher assessment (TA) judgements in reading and mathematics. Test results will be used in their place

• RJS will continue tracking and teacher assessing

pupils in reading and maths using the school’s internal system

• Our TA judgements will show on a pupil’s school

report

How you can help at home

• Regular monitoring of homework (please sign planners):

– Weekly spag.com exercises. – Daily reading of own books plus questions about the text using the prompts in the leaflet. – Daily practise of spelling words and rules using blue spelling folders. – Maths and reading homework revision books.

• Continue to learn times tables including division facts – quick

recall.

• Numeracy – real life contexts – working out change when

shopping, weighing ingredients and calculating totals when cooking, reading analogue and digital times.

• STAR Planners - blue pages!
• School website – links.

Please feel free to contact us at anytime if you need any support or ideas for how to support your children at home.
