3 Spelling Punctuation and Grammar

4 English: Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Part 1 (Punctuation & Grammar Questions) is a notably hard test that contains a series of questions on SPaG topics including: Nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, determiners, conjunctions, clauses etc. Subjunctive verbs, passive and active voices, subordinate clauses etc. (The use of) capital letters, commas, inverted commas, apostrophes, colons, semicolons, hyphens etc. Suffixes, homophones, synonyms and antonyms. Part 2 (Spelling Test) is unchanged from previous years. Your child s teacher will read 20 sentences from a script with an emphasis on a word that needs to be spelt. Within your child s answer booklet is the same sentence but with a blank space left for them to correctly spell the word.

6 Reading

7 English Reading The 2018 KS2 English Reading SATs paper will be presented in two booklets. One booklet is the Reading Booklet that contains three separate (unrelated) reading texts. The second booklet is the Reading Answer Booklet which contains the questions. The questions are ordered in the same sequence as the texts. As with previous years, the questions will broadly assess a child s ability to fully understand the structure, purpose and meaning of a passage of text. The questions will test a variety of reading comprehension skills including: Fact retrieval e.g. Name the four types of building detailed within the piece. Structure and presentation e.g. Why do you think the author choose to present a table alongside the text? Inference e.g. Why do you think the author has used the word frozen to describe the character? Open-ended questions e.g. Explain how and why the author has chosen to end the story. Use two examples from the text.

17 Maths Paper 1, known as the Arithmetic paper, contains 40 marks worth of calculation-based questions. For this paper it s essential that your child is comfortable and competant with the following topics: Fractions (including mixed numbers). Decimals (including converting fractions into decimals). Percentages (and how they relate to fractions). Square numbers. Rounding. Applying Addition, subtraction, multiplication (long and short) and division (long and short) to ALL of the above. This includes how to apply these operations in order when required (i.e. BODMAS). Paper 2 and Paper 3 are now known as the Reasoning papers and each contain 35 marks worth of more problem-solving based Maths. Children will need to apply their KS2 Maths skills (as used in Paper 1) to a variety of topics including: Geometry (including coordinates, rotation, reflection, symmetry etc). Ratios (and how to interpret them from fractions, percentages etc). Charts and tables. Units and measures (including time, temperature, money, weight, volume etc). Shapes and their properties (including triangles, hexagons and their angles). Roman numerals.

22 How are the results presented and reported? SATs Results: Children will receive a raw score for each test (their total number of correct responses). The raw score will be converted into a scaled score. The scaled score of 100 or above will show that your child is working at the expected national standard. The raw score required to achieve a scaled score of 100 will not be set until after the SATs tests have been completed.

23 How are the results presented and reported? Mark Interpretation < 100 Below Expected Standard scale score is the difference of around 5 marks. 100 At Expected Standard > 100 Above Expected Standard What is meant by scaled scores? It is planned that 100 will always represent the national standard. Each pupil s raw test score will therefore be converted into a score on the scale, either at, above or below 100. The scale will have a lower end point somewhere below 100 and an upper end point above 100. A child who achieves the national standard (a score of 100) will be judged to have demonstrated sufficient knowledge in the areas assessed by the tests.

25 Teacher Assessment: Reading, Maths, Writing: Working Towards the expected standard or Working at the expected standard or Working at greater depth within the expected standard. Children will be assessed against a collection of performance descriptors for each subject. These will be continually assessed in class work until the end of June. The judgements are no longer a best-fit model. Instead, children must be achieving all objectives within a band in order to achieve it.

26 Common Mistakes Rushing to start & rushing to finish. Not reading questions carefully: 30% of children last year made an error in reading and maths tests due to misreading a question (tick 2, draw one line etc) Forgetting to show workings (in Maths). Time management Knowing how much to write Spending too long on one question

27 How can you help? Timed homework/revision sessions Check understanding before/after (review/editing time is important) Encourage them to underline key words/instructions Don t let them rub things out; they should be able to talk through their process and explain their mistakes Encourage them to give opinions with multiple reasons School was rubbish today because...

28 How can you help? Build confidence and practise weaker areas (e.g. written methods of calculation, times tables, skim reading, fact finding etc) Real-life maths skills: Time what time is it? How long until? How long since? Money how much? How much more? How much change? Fractions and Number = 80% Explaining articulately something they ve learnt in school.

29 How can you help? Daily reading and discussion about texts is essential Focus discussion on language and vocabulary choices by the author I wonder why the author has used that word? What does that make you think of? Is that similar to anything else etc Grammatically correct speech correction Spellings and Handwriting are of a much higher priority in order to achieve the expected standard in Writing. Spellings encourage different strategies to help learn them. Basic punctuation is essential in order to be working towards in writing. Simple mistakes should be identified and corrected in all written tasks to ensure attention to detail and accuracy.

30 SATs Week Make sure your child has lots and lots of sleep. Your child will need a good breakfast every morning or sign them up to breakfast club. I will be at breakfast club every morning! Make sure they bring a water bottle and an extra snack for break time. Remind them to try their best and go for it! Your children will need a good lunch. Keep your child calm Please don t let them stress or worry about the assessments. Don t be tempted to do loads of revision the night before or in the morning. Relax them and remind them they can do it! We will provide all equipment I will be available every morning to answer any questions and relax the children. Please bring them in early if they are worried!

31 Class What I can use the address for: - Questions about SATs (Can you explain What is the answer to. Do they need to know..) - Documents, handouts, info about the class general day-to-day - Homework questions - Questions about trips, clubs, after school activities that are related to the class only. What still needs to go through admin@/head@? - Absence e.g. illness, holidays, doctors etc - Checking dates - Medicines - General club information - Money/ Payments - Friendship concerns, worries or points to raise We will try to answer any questions and s; however, it may not always be possible.
