Examining Teaching and Learning in... English

(1)
Intent, Implementation and Impact of your curriculum! These documents will support subject leaders and senior leaders in reflecting on the provision for the different subjects within your school curriculum and how these meet the specific needs of your children. This reflects the emphasis on the whole curriculum in the Ofsted inspection framework from September 2019. The aim of the Examining Teaching and Learning in… documents is to provide subject leaders with a precise evaluation of the provision for their subject. Once conducted, the information can then be used as a basis for: the subject improvement plan; a discussion during an Ofsted inspection; a position statement report to the governing body; and general discussions about the subject with senior leaders and teachers in school. The questions and prompts within the resources have been carefully designed to ensure consistency in a school’s approach to evaluation by the subject leader whilst also focusing on the individual characteristics of each subject area. They can be independently used by schools or be provided as part of a subject specific ‘Health Check’ provided by one of the Lancashire Teaching and Learning Consultants.

Year 4 Spring 2 English Planning Unit : Passport to Europe

(1)
Year 4 Spring 2 English Planning Unit : Passport to Europe This half term block, based around a theme of Passport to Europe, consists of two English units: Novel as a theme Non-chronological reports Cross curricular links Although the units will stand alone, they can be planned to run alongside geography, design technology and music. A context for writing a non-chronological report could be a region in a European country, including information around a classical European composer. For novel as a theme, any appropriate text could be selected. Design technology could be linked via creating a passport holder or a money container for two or more currencies. Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation Skills have been specifically identified for each unit from Key Learning in Writing. The full set of units include all skills for the year group. However, if these units and/or skills are rearranged from the planned order, modifications to the identified grammar skills may be necessary. When planning, consider if the suggested skills are the most appropriate for the class or if different skills are needed based on assessments of children’s outcomes. This may involve the revisiting of skills from previous year groups. Refer to Key Learning in Writing for the year group to ensure full coverage over the year. Our English Planning Units have all recently been updated to include: new ideas and approaches for planning through the teaching sequence phases with more detailed guidance on reading and gathering content phases; updated suggestions of texts, direct links to specific film clips and resources within every unit; a tighter focus on grammar skills via warm-up sessions and integration within units; increased emphasis on vocabulary for reading and writing; further short and longer writing opportunities built into each unit; and updated outcome suggestions for scaffolded writing whilst highlighting the need for independent writing for assessment purposes.
Bounce Back Phonics

Bounce Back Phonics

(0)
This document offers a series of phonics lessons aimed at helping children in Years 2, 3 and 4 who may have missed, or not fully understood, some of the crucial stages of systematic synthetic phonics teaching in the early years. The units of work will be useful if some of your children are experiencing difficulties with: • blending phonemes for reading and segmenting for spelling; • selecting the correct spelling for long vowel phonemes; • reading and spelling longer words containing adjacent consonants. The lessons cover the alternative spellings of common vowel phonemes (Phase 5) and can be used flexibly to meet the needs of your children, based on your assessment of their current phonic knowledge. The simple assessment tool provided will help you to identify the phonemes you need to teach or to revisit, thereby filling crucial gaps in phonic knowledge. Included also are six lessons which cover some tricky phonemes e.g. wr, ph, kn, gn, tch and softening c. These can be used at your discretion. In addition, there are two blocks of work which address the teaching of Phases 4 and 5 tricky words. These sessions will help you to teach your children to read and spell these words automatically. The lessons should be conducted three times a week by teachers or by trained teaching assistants and should be lively, exciting and full of fun.

This programme is aimed at children in Years 2, 3 and 4 who may have missed, or not fully understood, some of the crucial stages of systematic synthetic phonics teaching in Reception and Year 1, and is designed to address gaps in learning.

These on–entry assessment materials will support practitioners to set up relevant and appropriate provision, including resources, within the nursery classroom, to enable them to make relevant observations of what children know, understand and can do on entry to nursery.

Sample activities are provided across ten areas of provision to support practitioners to choose from and engage children in open-ended but purposeful activities.

Planning for Learning - to support the EYFS Statutory Framework 2021

(0)
Skills, knowledge, Concepts – what children can do, know and understand. This document has been updated to support the EYFS Statutory Framework in light of the forthcoming changes to the Early Learning Goals in 2021-2022. The document now includes the Educational Programmes and Early Learning Goals. The purpose of this publication is to support practitioners in EYFS (nursery and reception) with planning a curriculum to meet the learning needs of the children in their school or setting. The document identifies an overview of the key learning (skills, knowledge and concepts) across all seven areas of learning and development to support learning within the EYFS phase to prepare children for their next stage of education. Schools can reflect on the key learning outlined in this document and identify those which are appropriate for the needs of their children and, if necessary add additional skills, knowledge and concepts specific to the context of the school or a particular cohort. As the Early Learning Goals are used to assess a child’s attainment at the end of EYFS, this document will support practitioners in planning and providing a curriculum which goes beyond that which is assessed.
