Autumn 2 What do we know about the Victorians and the way they lived?

In Year 2, children sit their SATs assessments in May. SATs are a series of national assessments in English and Mathematics carried out in Year 2 and Year 6. Key Stage 1 SATs take place during the summer term of Year 2 and are compulsory.

The tests are split into the following specific papers:

• Mathematics:
  • Arithmetic Paper: Focuses on essential calculation skills.
  • Reasoning Paper: Focuses on problem-solving and mathematical application.
• Reading:
  • Two Papers: Ranging from short, direct comprehension questions to reading and answering questions based on an accompanying reading booklet.
• Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (SPaG): (Non-statutory)
  • Includes a spelling task and a separate punctuation and grammar paper.

Additionally, any children that did not meet the expected standard for their statutory phonics screening check in year 1 will resit their test in the summer term. Therefore, it is crucial that a consistent approach to the teaching of phonics is used. We deliver phonics using the Read Write Inc (RWI) phonics scheme. 

Please check your ClassDojo for:

RWI phonics, TT Rock Stars and reading homework.
