  1. Welcome to Lewannick CP School Curriculum Event 4 Writing A love of life through a love of learning…

  2. Aims • Writing in EYFS and the new national curriculum • Key changes • Assessment • Writing at Lewannick School • How can I support my child at home?

  3. National Curriculum In September 2014, a new National Curriculum became statutory in all local authority-maintained schools. 'Levels' of attainment are no longer in existence and pupils are assessed under a grading system. Along with this change, the bar has been raised for learning, with expectations for progress and attainment, at their most challenging yet.

  4. Key Changes • Stronger emphasis on grammar, punctuation and spelling (for example, the use of commas and apostrophes will be taught in KS1) • Handwriting – not currently assessed under the national curriculum – is expected to be fluent, legible and speedy

  5. Changes in assessment • The key phrase: primary education needs to be focused on ensuring that pupils are ‘secondary ready’ • No National Curriculum levels • Schools devise own systems for formative assessment, tracking and feedback. • Statutory testing at KS1 and 2 will continue. • New tests in summer 2016

  9. How can you help your child? • Encourage and praise all mark making • Ask questions like: Which sound does it begin with? • Support your children in writing in lower case not CAPITAL LETTERS as this will help them identify the sounds. • Model writing with your child so that they can see its purpose; shopping lists, thank you cards, to do lists etc. • Playing games such as ‘I Spy’ or ‘Letter Lotto’ to get your child thinking about the sounds that are in a word. • Take the pencil out of writing – mud writing, shaving foam writing, water writing.
