  2. What will your child be tested on? The SATs (Standard Assessment Tests) will take place during the month of May 2019. • Maths • Reading • Spelling • Grammar & Punctuation

  3. English Tests • Reading- 2 papers: Paper 1-400-700 words Paper 2-800-1000 words • Grammar & Punctuation • Spelling

  4. Spelling • Give the spelling number • Say: The word is… • Read the word in the context of the sentence • Repeat: The word is… Example: Spelling 1: The word is face. I had a big smile on my face. The word is face.

  5. Maths Tests • Paper 1 – Arithmetic • Paper 2 – Mathematical Reasoning

  6. What will your child be tested on? Paper 1 covers calculation methods for all operations, including use of fractions. • Questions gradually increase in difficulty. Not all children will be expected to access some of the more difficult questions later in the paper. • This should take about 30 minutes to complete. This will be done under test conditions. Papers 2 covers mathematical reasoning. • Pupils will still require calculation skills but will need to answer questions in context and decide what is required to find a solution. • For some questions, children need to show how they worked it out. During the tests children are not allowed to use number apparatus, such as hundred squares, to work out their answers. There is space on the test paper if children need to do any working out.

  11. Marking and Scoring • The test papers will be marked by the Year 2 class teachers once every child has completed each test. • The tests provide a standardised score. This alongside teacher assessments will be used to build up a picture of your child’s learning and achievements. • In addition, your child will receive an overall result saying whether they have achieved the age related standard in the tests. • This standardised score will be built up from their raw score - the actual number of marks they accumulate - then translated into a scaled score; this helps to allow for differences in the difficulty of the tests from year to year so that pupils' results can be compared accurately. The score that equates to the national standard has yet to be announced. • This could be similar to exceeding, expecting and emerging within their year group.

  13. Teacher Assessment Framework • Your child's overall grade is not just based on their SATs results it is also based on teacher assessments from throughout the year. • WT – Working towards the standard • ES – Expected standard • GD – Greater Depth This is the judgement that you will receive in the end of year report.

  14. How to help your child • First and foremost, support and reassure your child that there is nothing to worry about and they should always just try their best. Praise and encourage! • Ensure your child has the best possible attendance at school. • Support your child with any homework tasks. • Reading, spelling and arithmetic (e.g. times tables) are always good to practise. • Talk to your child about what they have learnt at school and what book(s) they are reading (the character, the plot, their opinion). • Make sure your child has a good sleep and healthy breakfast every morning!

  15. How to help your child with reading • Listening to your child read can take many forms. • First and foremost, focus developing an enjoyment and love of reading. • Enjoy stories together – reading stories to your child is equally as important as listening to your child read. • Read a little at a time but often, rather than rarely but for long periods of time! • Talk about the story before, during and afterwards – discuss the plot, the characters, their feelings and actions, how it makes you feel, predict what will happen and encourage your child to have their own opinions. • Look up definitions of words together – you could use a dictionary, the internet or an app on a phone or tablet. • All reading is valuable – it doesn’t have to be just stories. Reading can involve anything from fiction and non-fiction, poetry, newspapers, magazines, football programmes, TV guides. • Visit the local library - it’s free!

  16. How to help your child with maths • Play mental maths games including counting in different amounts, forwards and backwards. • Play times tables games. • Encourage opportunities for telling the time. • Encourage opportunities for counting coins and money; finding amounts or calculating change when shopping. • Look for examples of 2D and 3D shapes around the home. • Identify, weigh or measure quantities and amounts in the kitchen or in recipes. • Play games involving numbers or logic, such as dominoes, card games, darts, draughts or chess.
