How is the performance of the children is assessed
How can we work together to ensure all the children produce their best.
Have an opportunity to look at talk to teaches and see what the expectations ‘look like’.

6. Reading – end of year 3 KPIs
Read further exception words, noting the unusual correspondences between spelling and sound, and where these occur in the word (linked to spelling English Appendix 1). (Word Reading)
Maintain positive attitudes to reading and understanding of what he/she reads by listening to and discussing a wide range of fiction, poetry, plays and non-fiction. (Comprehension)
Maintain positive attitudes to reading and understanding of what he/she reads by identifying themes in books. (Comprehension)
Understand what he/she reads independently by drawing inferences such as inferring characters' feelings, thoughts and motives from their actions, and justifying inferences with evidence. (Comprehension)
Understand what he/she reads independently by predicting what might happen from details stated. (Comprehension)
Retrieve and record information from non-fiction. (Comprehension)

7. Writing – end of year 4 KPIs
Draft and write by organising paragraphs around a theme. (Composition)
Draft and write in narratives, creating settings, characters and plot with consideration for the audience and purpose. (Composition)
Proof-read for spelling and punctuation errors, including the use of the apostrophe for possession, speech punctuation and use of the comma for fronted adverbials. (C)
Use standard English forms for verb inflections instead of local spoken forms e.g. we were instead of we was, or I did instead of I done. (V, G & P)
Use fronted adverbials e.g. Later that day, I heard the bad news. (V, G & P)
Make the appropriate choice of pronoun or noun within and across sentences to aid cohesion and avoid repetition. (V, G & P)
Use inverted commas and other punctuation to indicate direct speech e.g. The conductor shouted, "Sit down!" - a comma after the reporting clause; end punctuation within inverted commas. (V, G & P)

8. Mathematics Number Place value Operations, calculations
Fractions, percentages, decimals
Measurement
Geometry, shape, position

PoS state KPIs

9. Maths –end of Year 4 KPIs
Solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why. (Addition and Subtraction)
Recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12. (Multiplication and Division)
Recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions. (Fractions)
Count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by one hundred and dividing tenths by ten. (Fractions)
Round decimals with one decimal place to the nearest whole number. (Fractions)

10. End of Year Assessment Teacher assessment:
Working towards age related expectations (ARE)
At ARE
Working at greater depth
Meet all the KPIs – unless specific learning issue
Internal and cluster moderation
Exemplars through Target Tracker
Summative tests help and are used formatively
Pupil progress meetings

11. Support your Child with Reading
Hear your child read and encourage fluency.
Ask questions about what they have just read to check for understanding. With older children ask them to find the evidence in the book and explain their answer to you.
Read to your child. Listening is an important part of reading; it will help your child learn the importance of punctuation and reading with expression.
Read daily, not just their reading books but comics, children’s newspapers, poetry, non-fiction, library books, favourite books from home…

12. Support your Child with SPAG
Help your child learn any spellings that are sent home. Use these spellings in dictated sentences.
When reading to and/or with your child discuss the use of punctuation. This could be how our voice changes when we read a sentence with an ! or ?, the use of inverted commas to mark speech or the use of parenthesis (brackets) .

13. Support your Child with Writing
Read to and /or with your child. This will support their writing content and use of punctuation.
Spell common exception words.
Write different forms of sentences (commands, questions, statements…).
Use capital letters and a variety of punctuation correctly (! ? , ‘).
Encourage children to check and correct their work.
Encourage children to use their best handwriting for homework too -legible, neat and joined.

14. Support your Child with Maths
Incorporate maths into your daily life e.g. measuring ingredients when cooking, working out how many knives and forks they need for dinner time, paying for shopping…
Encourage fluency and speed of recall of facts and tables with quick fire questions.
Ensure your child is able to tell the time using an analogue clock as well as a digital clock.
Knowing their (appropriate) timetables – out of sequence.
Support your child to complete their homework.
