Key Stage One: Assessment
At the end of this school year, children have a final end of Key Stage One Assessment. This consists of 2 elements:
• Externally produced but internally marked standard tests in Reading, SPaG and Maths

• Recall and use multiplication & division facts for 2, 5 & 10 tables.
• Recall and use +/- facts to 20 (18+2=20 20-2 = 18).
• Derive and use related facts to 100 (8+2=10 80+20=100)
• Balance calculations (23 + 4 = 15 + 2 + [])
• Recognise place value of any 2-digit number (TO)
Key Skills - Maths • Add & subtract:
o 2-digit numbers & ones

Key Skills - Reading
• The majority of children will complete Language and Literacy Guided
Reading activities and spelling strategies every morning from 9:00 –
9:45. This allows children to practise and enhance their reading while
acquiring the skills to develop their comprehension and understanding of
the text.
• Children who complete Read Write Inc. will also have the opportunity to
complete weekly Guided Reading with the class teacher.
• Children completing Language and Literacy will still take a book (s) to
read at home. We will also start Bug Club to support reading at home.
Common Exception Words
Key Skills - Writing Handwriting
In Year 2 children will continue to be taught cursive handwriting focusing on developing joining letters.
This includes capital
letters and digits 0 – 9.
It is really important that children learn the correct formation of the letters as handwriting is an area that is assessed in Year 2.
Key Skills - Writing • Orally rehearse before writing (Talk for Writing).
• Produce story maps and plans for their writing.
• Apply phonic knowledge for spelling irregular words and spelling patterns or rules to spell
regular words, including suffixes.
• Spell accurately Common Exception Words
• Form capital letters and digits of the correct size, orientation and relationship to one
another and to lower-case letters. Begin to join letters.
• Use capital letters and full stops accurately. Begin to use other punctuation including
question marks, exclamation marks, commas in lists and apostrophes.
• Correct use of adjectives to expand noun phrases and use of the correct verb tense.
• Using a range of conjunctions (and, but, so, because, therefore) to extend simple
sentences
• Editing and Improving
• Writing in a range of genres and writing in different curriculum areas.
Homework Reading: Remember that it is not just reading their reading scheme book…
• Reading book, library books, home library, lists, comics, eBooks, bedtime stories;
• Record in the reading journals;
• Record all activities in the reading journals for 30 reads prizes!
• Read at home at least 3 times a week.
Spellings: The children will bring home a set of spellings to learn each week. They will be tested on a Friday. These have different functions:
• To support phonic learning e.g. to learn words containing a particular phoneme;
• To learn common exception words which do not follow the usual phonic patterns;
• To learn key vocabulary related to the topics covered in school including number and time words.
Homework • Children will take home either a piece of English work
or Maths work. The homework will help to prepare the children for their End of Key Stage 1 Assessments.
• It will be based on the learning during the week.
• All children will have a homework folder to put homework in.
• All homework must be completed and returned. Children who do not complete their homework will need to do it in their own time at school unless the teacher has been informed of an exceptional reason for it not being completed.
• Homework will be sent out on a Friday and is expected back by the following Thursday.
Uniform
General Reminders • Talk to the teachers (end of the day is
usually preferable).
• Keep us informed of absences with a phone
call on the day of absence and a letter on your child's return to school.
• Remember to label uniform and PE kit!
• To encourage independence, children need to hand in letters to adults. Please do not leave them in their reading books.
Finally… If you have any questions please feel free to ask one
of us.
Thank you very much for coming!
