End of Year 2 Expectations
Maths
This booklet includes the end of year 2
expectations for children in our school based on
the new National Curriculum. These are the
minimum requirements your child must meet in
order to be graded as working at ‘National
Expectation.’
All the objectives will be worked on throughout
the year and will be the focus of direct teaching.
Any extra support you can provide in helping your
children to achieve these is greatly valued.
If you have any queries regarding the content of
this booklet or want support in knowing how best
to help your child please talk to your child’s
teacher.

Trips Planned
this term
Please note: -
Across the course of the school year, the school intends to increase the amount of trips for the children. Whilst the school will try to ensure that some of these trips will be free, some inevitably will require a parent contribution. The school is able to subsidise some of these trips, however, without your support we may have to reduce these down.
Children will be given opportunities to carry out fundraising activities in order to bring the overall cost of trips down.
All trips planned link directly to your child's learning.
•Christchurch Park (weather and seasons) •Visit to Ipswich Fire Station (Great Fire of
London) •Framligham Castle (Castle life)

Attitude to learning FAQs Why might there be a difference between the teacher’s and my child’s grading? [e.g Teacher grade higher than pupils grade] – This occurs generally with children who lack confidence. The child is unable to identify how good they are or the skills they have. Or pupil doesn’t fully understand the phrases included in the report [e.g Teachers grade lower than pupils grade] – This occurs generally with children who are overly confident. They may feel they are working hard when in fact their teacher may be aware that they can do so much better! Or pupil doesn’t fully understand the phrases included in the report. I don’t agree with the teachers grading! My child is a good learner at home! - This judgment is based on what the teachers see in school. If your child does show good learning skills at home, then it may be worth reminding your child that they need to show this in school. What score should my child be at? - As a school we are aiming for at least stage 6. This is the first time we have done this and so we have a number of children in the 3,4 and 5 section. Over time we hope to see this improve as we work with the children and help them to understand the importance of being a good learner. Children will also start to understand what is meant by each of the levels more and in turn be able to make a more accurate judgment of their own learning.
Attitude to learning
Why? -To highlight to children that it will be their Attitude to Learning that will enable them to be successful in life, regardless of where they are academically. -A chance for those children who often struggle to receive recognition for commitment and dedication towards their leanring. -A kick up the bum for those who may be coasting… they’ll soon be catching you!

Read Write Inc
Read Write Inc is a structured and systematic approach to teaching reading. We teach daily lessons.
“It is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers.”
• Children are carefully assessed and taught in a group with other children who are learning exactly the same sounds.
• They only read books during RWInc which contain sounds they have already been taught.
• 100% success means they gain confidence and fluency quickly.
• ‘Fred Frog’ helps the children learn and little rhymes and tricks keep it exciting!
Writing Expectations
The next slide is an example of the level a child
needs to be writing at to achieve the year group
expected standard.
Standards have gone up nationally.
