Thank you for your continued support.

18. How results are reported
The result that parents will receive with their child’s end of year report will now state whether they are working at below age related expectations, at age related expectations or above age related expectations in reading, writing and maths. The class teacher’s assessment of the children’s work from across the year can also be used as evidence to support whether a child is below, at, or above age related expectations.

19. Supporting your child
Please read daily with your child to build their stamina, ready for reading paper 2.
Question your child after each page/chapter as to what has happened, how the characters may be feeling and why, make predictions as to what may happen next and why and to explain the meaning of new vocabulary.

20. Supporting your child
Build fluency through times tables – 2x, 3x,5x and 10x
Number bonds to 10, 20 and 100
Doubles and halves of numbers
Quick fire questions – If I start at 10, double it and add 15 what number have I now got?
