The End of Key Stage 1 Assessments • At the end of Key Stage 1 the children are assessed in the key curriculum areas of English (Speaking and Listening, Reading, Writing), Maths and Science. • Children’s attainment over the year is assessed by the teachers and you will get a final teacher assessment in July.

  5. The End of Key Stage 1 Assessments • The main teacher assessments take place between January and June. • Schools are regularly moderated to make sure that their judgements are in line with national levels • Level 3 writing is externally moderated • The SATs tests are carried out in May and help support the teachers’ levelling.

  6. Assessments and Tests • The SATs tests are carried out in a more relaxed atmosphere than is evident in other schools so • Please don’t mention tests!

  10. Reporting Back • Results will be sent out with the Reports in July and will consist of teacher assessment levels • At Key Stage 1, Level 3 is not broken down into c,b and a and usually they will only be working within the lower end of this level Please note- children often slip back a sub level over the summer holidays, especially starting a new school.

  11. English Speaking Board • Our Year 2 children are being given the opportunity to be entered in an ESB exam. In previous years this has been held in March, but this year we have decided to try it in July. • As a school we feel this is of great benefit in improving their Speaking and Listening skills

  12. The Syllabus for ESB • Section 1 – Presenting – Something special time…show your listeners something that is special to you, and talk about it without using notes. (2 minutes) • Section 2 – Speaking by heart – Poetry Give the title and the poet’s name before saying from memory a poem that you enjoy. (1 min)

  13. The syllabus (cont) • Section 3 - Reading aloud – Choose a favourite book suitable for your reading ability, and read a passage of about 100 words. Tell your listeners the title and author to introduce your reading. • Section 4 – Listening and responding. Answer questions from the assessor, and listeners after your talk, and be ready to question others in your group.

  14. Preparation time • All these areas will be practised in school, however further support from will be needed. • Please have “show and tell” ready straight after half term, and poems by Friday June 6th. • We can suggest poems and passages from books if you are having difficulty.

  15. Popular ESB books • Diary of a Killer Cat – Anne Fine • The terrible Twins –Dick King-Smith • Charlotte’s web – E.B.White • Any Roald Dahl books • The Owl who was afraid of the Dark – J, Tomlinson • Alice in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll • Paddington Bear – Michael Bond
