  3. Class Organisation September 2015

  4. To create: 1 Year 1 Class, 1 Year 2 Class, 1 mixed age Year 1/2 Class LOTS OF THOUGHT GOES INTO MAKING A DECISION! Criteria for decisions: • Children’s ability in Numeracy and/or Letters and Sounds • Social groups • Children’s ‘general’ ability and attitude to learning • Age/maturity Aiming for: classes that ‘work’, have good social/gender mix and narrow the range of ability. Planning will be the same – differentiated to meet the needs of every child. Teachers using their professional judgement – need to be trusted. Once class lists issued then no changes will be made - the school will of course listen to any concerns/queries and will monitor these closely into the new year.

  5. 2 Year Cycle • Children work in KS1 on a 2 year cycle of learning (year 1 and year 2). • Lessons are taught creatively to the child’s need not year groups through differentiation.

  6. 2 Year Cycle • There are 10 science topics, there are 6 topics of art, DT, History, Geography. These topics have been carefully organised in to a 2 year plan, so that by the end of the infants all the children will have covered the same topics. Some children will meet them in year 1 and some in year 2.

  7. 2 Year Cycle Here is an example of where children may meet topics

  8. Similarities • Active learning, cross curricular lessons • Continue with Oxford Reading Tree and Bug Club texts • Home learning • Transition project: Last 2 weeks of summer term in reception children’s learning is based on a story ‘The Naughty Bus’. In Year 1 children continue this topic. • Letter and sounds – same format • Word tins changes to spellings (still linked to L + S) • Initially all children’s learning recorded in 1 topic workbook. Only later in year move to subject specific workbooks.

  9. Differences • The curriculum changes from EYFS to National Curriculum. • Slightly more structure to the day in Year 1, children will still be actively learning through play however the children may not label this as play. • Increased expectations in terms of independence. • Increased concentration needed on task. • Larger class sizes. • TA support used in mornings and for extra interventions in afternoon. • Moving to more formal recording methods.
