E-Safety
With ever expanding new technologies such as blogs (online diaries), social networking spaces, online chat and mobile phones children are using technology in a way never seen before.
The increased use of technology at school and home also exposes children to a number of risks and dangers.
In its simplest form e-safety is about ensuring children use new technologies in a way which will keep them safe without limiting their opportunities for creation and innovation.
E-Safety Rules
Safe ~ to remain safe by protecting personal information;
Meeting ~ never meet somebody you have only been in touch with online without a parent or guardian;
Accepting ~ do not accept email, files or messages from people you don’t know;
Reliable ~ not all information on the Internet is true, including the identity of others
Tell ~ it is never to late to tell a parent, carer or responsible adult if someone or something makes you feel afraid online.
Children will sign their own acceptable use policy in school
Acceptable Use Policy
Streetsbrook Infant School and Nursery
Acceptable Use Policy for Children This Acceptable Use Policy is intended to ensure that: • our children will be responsible users and stay safe while using the internet and other
communications technologies for educational, personal and recreational use. • school ICT systems and users are protected from accidental or deliberate misuse that could
put the security of the systems and users at risk. At Streetsbrook we ensure that our children have good access to ICT to enhance their learning and we, in return, expect the children to agree to be responsible users.
Acceptable Use Policy Agreement (Key Stage 1): I want to feel safe all the time. When using the Internet, I agree that I will:
always keep my passwords a secret only open pages which my teacher has said are okay only work with people I know in real life tell my teacher if anything makes me feel scared or uncomfortable make sure all messages I send are polite show my teacher if I get a nasty message not reply to any nasty message or anything which makes me feel uncomfortable not give my phone number to anyone who is not a friend in real life only email people I know or if my teacher agrees only use my school email talk to my teacher before using anything on the internet not tell people about myself online (I will not tell them my name, anything about my home
and family and pets) not load photographs of myself on to the computer without my teacher knowing never agree to meet a stranger
I know that anything I do on the computer may be seen by someone else.

English
The aims of the English curriculum are defined as enabling children to:
read easily, fluently and with good understanding develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and
information acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and knowledge of
linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in
and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences use discussion in order to learn; they should be able to elaborate and explain
clearly their understanding and ideas are competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal
presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate.
Phonics and Writing Workshops
- Spring Term 2016
Phonics Majority of Year 1 are working on Phase 5 of ‘Letters and Sounds’ Phonics Check – June 2016
Children have to read 20 real words and 20 nonsense words Extremely strict guidelines for administrating the test
Spellings
I haven’t learnt my spellings
And I’m sobbing off to sleep.
My pillow's wet and sticky
And it’s like it every week.
I have not learnt my ten words
And tomorrow there’s a test…
Flowers on my duvet,
FAILURE on my chest.Peter Dixon
Spellings
Linked to key words Parental support List of tricky words Check at end of each half term
Maths
The aims of the maths curriculum are to enable all children to:
become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Maths in KS1
In Key Stage 1, pupils will be able to: fluently work with whole numbers, counting and place value (i.e. tens and
ones) work with numerals and words to 100 and beyond work with the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
with concrete, practical activities recognise, describe, draw, compare and sort different shapes use a range of measures to describe and compare different quantities, e.g.
length, mass, capacity, volume, time and money read and spell mathematical vocabulary at a level consistent with their
reading and spelling knowledge
Adapted from The National Curriculum
How Can You Help?
Please support your child in completing their weekly homework and play lots of games! Ideas include:
counting games such as: snakes and ladders, counting buttons, choose two dominoes and count the total number of spots
ordering games such as: choose ten buttons and order them by size from smallest to largest; shuffle up the numbered cards from a deck, choose any 10 and order them
pattern-making games such as: using tiddlywinks to make patterns such as 2 red, 1 blue, 2 red 1 blue…
sorting games such as: sorting a collection of buttons, shells or leaves by colour or by size
There are also many brilliant websites, such as www.ictgames.co.uk, and many more that feature on our school website.
Assessment
As part of everyday teaching and learning children are being assessed by Teaching staff e.g. observations discussions group work books informs the teacher of each child’s progress and what the next
steps for learning should be Planning adapted
Assessments are made termly and entered into a tracking grid
Data analysed
National expectation by the end of Year 1 is a 1 Secure
Focus on breadth and depth
This differs to previous years where children could attain levels beyond the standard year group levels
End of Year Expectations
Forest Schools
Forest Schools?
“An inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self esteem through hands on learning experiences in a woodland environment"
Background
• Forest schools originated in Scandanavia during the 1950’s.
• Concept - originally for pre-school children to visit a woodland site on a regular basis as part of their early years education.
• During the mid 1990’s a group of Nursery Nurse Students and Lecturers from Bridgwater in Somerset visited Forest Schools in Denmark and brought the idea back to England.
Typical session in Year 1
• Small groups
• Observing seasonal changes
• Developing team building skills
• Focused learning activity – all areas of the curriculum
• Opportunity for exploratory play
• Game
Today’s children are suffering from ‘Nature Deficit Disorder’
