  3. Why ARE we Here today? • To further strengthen the parent and school partnership. • To identify ways we can help our children at Ferndale to achieve their full potential. • To support our children on their academic journey through looking closely at the SATs requirements in year 2. • To aim to achieve above average progress in all areas this academic year.

  4. Why ARE we Here today? • To ensure that you are aware of what your child needs to be able to achieve by the end of key stage 1 • To help you to support your child at home • To answer any questions you may have about this academic year

  5. Why is year 2 important? • Year 2 marks the end of Key Stage 1 and therefore it is essential that your children within this year become prepared for KS2. • For this reason the levels your child achieves at the end of key stage 1 are very important.

  6. Key Stage 1 assessments • We will look at levels in writing • Phonics screening test in year 1 • SATsquestions that the children need to be able to answer. • The overall level given to your child at the end of year 2 will depend on teacher assessment. • There will also be SATS tests in May – however the final result depends on what the child has shown the teacher throughout the year.

  7. What are the expected levels?

  8. Writing • Looking at writing • There are examples of L3, L2A, L2B, L2C and L1A writing. • The children complete a short (25 minutes) and long (45 minutes) writing task • We look at punctuation, how they describe and explain, spelling, handwriting is also judged.

  13. Maths • Maths questions, as the paper progresses it becomes more challenging. • There are differentiated papers and the children will sit which paper best suits their ability • During the test the children can have resources to help them and teachers can read the questions

  15. READING • There are L2 and L3 comprehension papers for you to look through. • We will be giving out regular practise questions this term to get the children prepared for May. • Some children will read individually to their teacher • The teacher will decide which test is most suited to your child

  17. Year 1 Phonics Test • All Year 1 children will take the test • It is completed on a 1:1 basis with their teacher, in a relaxed and familiar environment • If the child doesn’t reach the national pass rate set by the government, they have to re take the test in Year 2

  18. Phonics test in Year One • Takes place in June • Children have to read 40 words • 20 real words (green words) • 20 are made up ‘nonsense’ words • not all children will pass however, the phonics scheme will continue in Year Two and their progress monitored.

  20. Try not to worry! • Firstly, don’t worry! • In our experience the vast majority of children are unaware that the SATs tasks and tests are even taking place. • They are always done in familiar surroundings, with familiar people (more often than not the class teacher) and in small groups. • If the child doesn’t make the expected levels, they don’t have to re sit the tests.

  21. research shows children perform best if... • Good attendance • On time for school • Completing homework • Continued parental support • The children are motivated and focused
