Written by the Lancashire Professional Development Service (LPDS) Teaching and Learning Consultants, these assessment materials are directly linked to the expectations of the National Curriculum and will enable class teachers and senior leaders to track the progress and attainment of children against ‘End of Year Expectations’ in the Foundation Subjects. These materials have been written to inform planning and support high quality teaching and learning across the primary phase whilst at the same time providing a simple and time effective method of assessing the learning of children from Years 1 to 6 in the Foundation Subjects. We are now pleased to be able to offer these documents for individual subjects. These materials are compatible with the Lancashire Electronic Tracking tool and include: Foundation Subjects - End of Year Expectations History

Intent, Implementation and Impact of your curriculum! These documents will support subject leaders and senior leaders in reflecting on the provision for the different subjects within your school curriculum and how these meet the specific needs of your children. This reflects the emphasis on the whole curriculum in the Ofsted inspection framework from September 2019. The aim of the Examining Teaching and Learning in… documents is to provide subject leaders with a precise evaluation of the provision for their subject. Once conducted, the information can then be used as a basis for: the subject improvement plan; a discussion during an Ofsted inspection; a position statement report to the governing body; and general discussions about the subject with senior leaders and teachers in school. The questions and prompts within the resources have been carefully designed to ensure consistency in a school’s approach to evaluation by the subject leader whilst also focusing on the individual characteristics of each subject area. They can be independently used by schools or be provided as part of a subject specific ‘Health Check’ provided by one of the Lancashire Teaching and Learning Consultants.

History Unit Planning Guidance. Year 2 Summer Term - Buckets and Spades. Events beyond living memory or places in their locality – the seaside then and now. In this theme, children learn about holidays in the past compared with holidays now. They will consider events and places within their own living memory compared with events and places beyond their own memory. They may also consider other significant historical events in their own locality. Embedding historical enquiry, chronology and communication within a sequence of learning Skills have been specifically identified for this unit from Key Learning in history. This updated, expanded unit contains new ideas and approaches for planning history through a sequence of lesson ideas with more detailed guidance on historical enquiry, chronology, knowledge, understanding, vocabulary and communicating findings. Comprehensive lists of suggested texts and direct links to specific film clips and resources are contained within the unit. This unit will help provide teachers with a wealth of creative strategies that reinforce, enhance and transform learning within an effective teaching sequence. Cross curricular links Although this unit will stand alone, it can be planned to run alongside a Science unit based on materials where children investigate suitable properties for making buckets, hats and helmets, trampolines and sandcastles, and it could provide a focus for writing explanation texts to explore why and how materials are suitable, or not. In English, poems could be linked to the history context of seaside holidays in the past where children include details about objects or ideas such as ice cream, the promenade or souvenirs. In Art and Design, children could work independently or in groups to create small or large scale collages, using materials collected and chosen to suit the theme. Many contemporary artists use the seaside to inspire their works of art including Abigail Mill, Jayne Huskisson and Serena Hall.
