’Read and Respond’ unit to support home learning in English and Literacy, Year 2 - Week 12: Prepare to shrink to the size of an ant. This resource includes an electronic set of plans for parents for English and Literacy in Year 2. These newly created exciting ‘Read and Respond’ units will support home learning in English and Literacy. The ‘mini units’, available for Years 1-6 inclusive, provide daily English lesson plans and have been designed for you to send home to parents on a weekly basis. (Reception guidance for Literacy is also available, though in a slightly different format). All the plans use text extracts freely downloadable from LoveReading4Kids, Oxford Owl or websites with free audio recordings. Week 12 topic for Year 2: Prepare to shrink to the size of an ant. It is suggested that each unit is sent to parents with an accompanying letter as a way of the class teacher personally introducing the unit of work. This will provide the teacher with the opportunity to address any particular sections of the plan, provide supporting materials (e.g. a writing frame) where appropriate and/or make reference to any prior learning. An editable example of how this might look is also included. A message from our Senior English Consultant Nicola Martin: HOT OFF THE PRESS! Lancashire Primary English and Literacy team Home Learning Read and Respond Units Summer 2 overview - Available now! Due to popular demand, the Primary English and Literacy team have created a second overview of units to support schools, teachers, parents and children. This follows on from an overview produced for Summer 1 including 6 weeks of plans for Reception to Y6. You may not have used the full suite yet due to this being a 5 week half term! The Summer 2 overview includes 4 weeks of plans from Reception to Y6 which can be used at home or in school. As in previous weeks, an example letter is included which teachers can send to parents in order to provide additional guidance, or to tailor the units to particular classes. Many schools have been enhancing the units in the following ways: -Providing word banks to support each day or week -Teachers reading aloud some of the stories, poems and texts and sending via an online platform/school website so the children can ‘see and hear’ them -Designing additional activities linked to the suggested texts to make links across the curriculum We hope the units continue to be useful and please share any feedback on our Facebook page….

Written by Alison Kirk (Associate Consultant for Art and Design), Art and Design Progression from LPDS builds on the Lancashire Key Learning for Art and Design by introducing suggested Year Group Expectations within each of the separate areas of media that children should work with across Early Years and the Primary phase. It exemplifies progression in the eight areas covered. Schools should aim to cover up to 3 different media types each year, and ensure wide coverage of media across each age phase (EYFS/KS1, LKS2 and UKS2). Therefore, the expectations within any given year group should be considered alongside those of the adjacent year group in the same age phase.

These on–entry assessment materials will support practitioners to set up relevant and appropriate provision, including resources, within the nursery classroom, to enable them to make relevant observations of what children know, understand and can do on entry to nursery. The materials offer prompts across all seven areas of learning and development and the characteristics of effective learning. Sample activities are provided across ten areas of provision to support practitioners to choose from and engage children in open-ended but purposeful activities. These materials can be used alongside other baseline assessment activities and will support practitioners in making an accurate judgement of a child’s skills, knowledge and understanding on entry to nursery. For five term Nursey children you could focus on the prime areas and three term Nursery children both the Prime and Specific areas.

The aim of these documents was to specify the key learning in reading and writing for each year group and match statements to show progression from Year a into Year b. The Key Learning statements should help to focus whole class teaching and could be considered as unit objectives. They will enable teachers to plan for mixed age classes by examining the progression and match of statements.

A systematic, synthetic phonics catch up planning programme following on from Red Rose Letters and Sounds. This planning programme has been developed, evaluated and refined, using the expertise of effective classroom practitioners and phonics experts at LPDS. The intent behind the programme is to provide rigorous and thorough planning to enable children in Year 2 and KS2, who are falling behind, to catch up with their phonic knowledge and application in reading and writing. The programme includes: • a baseline diagnostic screening for blending and segmenting sentences; • an overview of the Phase 4 and Phase 5 Grapheme Phoneme Correspondences covered; • carefully sequenced 12 weeks planning focusing on Phase 4 and the high value Grapheme Phoneme Correspondences from Phase 5; • comprehensive daily lesson planning following the revisit/review, teach, practise and apply phonic teaching sequence; • an opportunity to revisit all of Phase 2, 3, 4 and 5 Tricky Words, High Frequency Words and Common Exception Words (both decodable and non-decodable); • word banks that directly match the teaching of focused graphemes. Plus, additional words to broaden vocabulary and to provide stretch and challenge; • application opportunities planned throughout to ensure blending and segmenting of words and sentences; • a detailed games document; and • a comprehensive assessment tool which includes frequent reflection checkpoints.

Skills, knowledge, Concepts – what children can do, know and understand. This document has been updated to support the EYFS Statutory Framework in light of the forthcoming changes to the Early Learning Goals in 2021-2022. The document now includes the Educational Programmes and Early Learning Goals. The purpose of this publication is to support practitioners in EYFS (nursery and reception) with planning a curriculum to meet the learning needs of the children in their school or setting. The document identifies an overview of the key learning (skills, knowledge and concepts) across all seven areas of learning and development to support learning within the EYFS phase to prepare children for their next stage of education. Schools can reflect on the key learning outlined in this document and identify those which are appropriate for the needs of their children and, if necessary add additional skills, knowledge and concepts specific to the context of the school or a particular cohort. As the Early Learning Goals are used to assess a child’s attainment at the end of EYFS, this document will support practitioners in planning and providing a curriculum which goes beyond that which is assessed.

These on-entry assessment materials will support practitioners to set up appropriate classroom provision, including resources, within the reception classroom, to enable them to make relevant observations of what children know, understand and can do on entry to school. The materials offer prompts across all seven areas of learning and development and the characteristics of effective learning. Sample activities are provided across six areas of provision to support practitioners to engage children in open-ended but purposeful activities. These materials can be used alongside other baseline assessment activities, and will support early years practitioners in making an accurate judgement of a child’s skills, knowledge and understanding on entry to reception.

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.
