'' prepositions''year 3? New or re hash year 2 curriculum?

[Splendidseptember]

Just wondering because I asked the year 2 teacher for a list of what they had done and no preps were mentioned... I brought books to support dd over lock down and again, no mention of preps. I even brought sats books, not because I Care about year 2 sats but to find out what dd should know. When asked what the school would be doing, we've had slightly wooly, responses.

Dd came home today saying she learned about something beginning with p.
We found out it was prepositions? Just stating year 3,does that sound right?

Yes I taught year 3 last year and taught prepositions.

Assuming you’re in England, it’s week 1 after a 6 month hiatus for the majority of pupils after lockdown. I’m currently just thrilled they’re going in and getting used to normality. Surely the teachers will spend the first couple of weeks trying to work out what level everyone is?

Maybe the p word she learned was “pandemic”

Pumpkin, how can they learn what level that is, if they are introducing new stuff rather than finding the gaps over lock down?

Surely they would be covering what they learned from way back in year 2?
And then covering the gaps from lockdown because our school was one of those who didn't manage any on line teaching.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. Is the question ‘are prepositions on the year 3 syllabus as my daughter wasn’t taught them in year 2?’ Yes, they will be.

On trying to ascertain, are the teachers going over what was taught and not taught due to lock down or are they teaching new stuff... In week one?

My dd was already very behind so I was hoping they would be going over what should have been learnt and then moving forward?

I teach Year 4. I will teach everything that was missed in Year 3 but not all at once at the start of the year. It will be slotted in throughout the year. I know my class missed the fractions unit in year 3. I'm not going to teach them year 3 fractions now though. I will teach it in November, just before I teach year 4 fractions. It makes more sense teaching them both in November as opposed to teaching year 3 fractions in Sep and year 4 fractions in Nov. Your child's school is probably going over objectives in a similar way.

Coffee thank you, that makes sense.

But why havant our school relayed exactly that though?

Chill your boots OP.

In normal times do your school give you the intricacies of lesson planning and curriculum planning?

And if they do, do they normally do it in the first two weeks?

Trust your child’s teacher and give them time.

So today she's come back home mentioning metaphors. Again, not what I saw on lock down.

I am struggling to keep up.
I was hoping she would be re hashing stuff from year 2 but it seems they are ploughing ahead with year 3 curriculum.

I guess with no tests coming up they can.
No accountability to anyone.
Dc left behind?

Apple. Before lock down, the only thing dd had retained was commas.
I've slogged alone with no support from the school and with zero communication, again we are being left behind.
Because if I can also back up class learning... Dd will learn.

Oh fgs they've been back less than 2 weeks and you already think you're some kind of curriculum expert because you're dd said she was doing something starting with p.

Let the teachers do their jobs. We've been told not to cover lockdown stuff YET so we don't put off those that did nothing. Instead a total fresh start with new topics for all and drip feed lockdown stuff throughout the year.

Honey, thank you.

Yes, I have appalling grammar. I remember being sat in a class of 40 with my back to the teacher learning diddly squat!

I don't have the gammer knowledge or the skills to teach my dc. But this is what I've been forced into by the school, who did not even provide a work sheet over lock down.

All of a sudden I was left, with two dc, who had no work issued. I asked for feedback and was given none.
I asked for curriculum guidance and was given zero.

I have fumbled... Struggled and stumbled around in the dark bowls of the English language desperately trying to work out what a subordination is. What a possessive apostrophe is..
What, preposition is then trying to relay these dry, nasty terms to a perhaps dyslexic or even adhd!!
And we did it.

We did it!! If there are say 15 grammar things they need to know. I'm confident thanks to me, she now knows at least 9.
Compared to the 1,she learned during 3 years of school. Whilst simultaneously working... I managed to teach her.

If schools arnt accountable to the parents and children.. We are lost.

, *let them do their jobs.

Oh the irony!

I'd love too! I would love too.

I've done more with her in lock down that 3 years in school.

Picked up what?
I trusted the teachers and at no pe did they flag anything up to me. I tried to ask questions but probably the wrong ones. By year 2 I was able to buy in help.
THE help I paid, told me more about dd than the teachers ever did.
If my own education has gaps and is flawed how can I help dd.

Or is there literally no hope for children whose dp are not educated in the basics!

So your 5 months of homeschool now replaces all of the teaching qualifications in the school who plan the long and medium term schemes of work? FGS give school time, they absolutely are not accountable to you. The sensible thing to do is to plug the gaps as the year goes on, they’ll still need to know what they would usually be taught now.

Boris paused education, school were not obliged to provide anything.

Have you considered home school?

You’ve got a really bad attitude!
