  1. Welcome to Second LevelCurriculum Evening Primary 4/5, 5, 6, 7A & 7B Miss Alejandra Martinez (P4/5) Miss Alanna Phillips (P5) Miss Jennifer McMillen (P6) Ms Kasia Turek (P7A) & Miss Hannah Jones (P7B)

  2. General Information • School day: 8:55-3:20pm • Fridays: 8:55-12:30pm • P.E. with Mr Papa   on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays – full P.E. kit required

  3. Curriculum Evening Overview • Literacy • Maths • Health and Wellbeing • Assessment and Reporting • Home learning • Additional Information

  4. Literacy • Reading, writing, listening and talking skills are taught through: • - novel studies • - topic research tasks • - group, peer and independently • These are differentiated accordingly and further enhanced through IDL topic work, and more widely in and out of the school context.

  5. What will Spelling look like? • We follow our school progressive spelling policy. • On a Monday the teacher will introduce the sound for the week. The children will have a differentiated spelling list but they will all learn the same spelling pattern. • On a Tuesday, Wednesday &Thursday they will have the opportunity to practise the spelling pattern using multi- sensory teaching strategies. • In addition to these, we also practise common words and revise any incorrect words from our jotters.

  6. Example of spelling sound list in P5 …

  7. Numeracy and Maths • Skills progression based on the Curriculum for Excellence Benchmarks and Stockbridge Counts to develop mental agility (pre-assessed starting point, clear next steps)  • Pupils develop their conceptual understanding and practise the skills • For example: Column method (standard algorithm) is taught only after a solid understanding of the concepts of place value and addition • A mixture of teaching approaches: written tasks, using ICT (e.g. Sumdog to reinforce concepts), real life problems in various contexts, working independently and with peers

  8. Conceptual understanding • Using concrete materials teaching different strategies in various contexts • Place value concept: zero holding place. partitioning  • Regrouping:  exchanging 10 ones = 1 ten, 100 tens = 1000, 10 hundreds= 1000 • Near doubles • Empty number line (skip counting, jump strategy) • Compensation and rounding • Number bonds knowledge (0.3 How much more to make 1.0 ?) • Common misconceptions, e.g. 0.3 •                                             + 0.7 •                                               _____ •                                               0.10 • BEFORE teaching standard algorithm (column addition)

Health and Wellbeing Mental and Emotional Wellbeing • Building Resilience Programme (Whole school focus outlined in newsletter) • Values: pupil-created Class Charter               (school rules: SAFE.

  12. Home School Learning in P5-7 • A home learning wall will be sent home each term. • Spelling pattern and word lists will be provided and published on the school website. Spelling tasks will be included in the home learning wall. • All children will have a chance to complete a long term project linked to a topic in class once or twice a year. They will be given a deadline for completion and the sharing of this learning. • By the end of each term, aim to complete at least one box from each coloured section. • Home learning journals should be brought into school on a MONDAY.
