Yes Me.

We are still on the Kipper books at the moment. But they are adding more characters as the books go on. iykwim

We have just came to end of ds learning his adding/subtraction of numbers between 0-10.

Letters - he had english writing on a Friday when they have to practice neat writing and writing their words.

He is just about to start on hix x tables!!

Anything else?

They are just coming onto doing the time now.

He also does little worksheets at school with perhaps :

eg:

Pictures of 5 coins on it and asking

How many coins on this section?

Still lots of fun involved in it just now.

I will give the words listed on his wordsheet...

wallpaper painted opened helped house outside for this big man her him
little found box came liked Come room key box with play with door mended things inside
There storm things

We know these, I think each school is very different we just moved 5 weeks ago and although DS is on much the same books, the words are kind of repeating themselves ...

Betcha wish you had never asked

Aimsmum - my ds is in P3 but tbh what your dd is doing looks OK - I don't think they actually get through that much in a school year! (by the time they've done health, RE, German, IT , Art, drama etc!!!)
Re spelling words - my ds does ones in phonic groups like that - so seems OK.

From what I remember, that sounds pretty much on target to be honest (amazing, though- how disruptive!). Dd was certainly doing money towards the end of P2 but nothing very hard. They had finished the ORT (as far as the school used it- I can't remember the level exactly) and were on to books like Kitty, but that was the top third or so, the lower groups were still on ORT.

Yes the words tie in with the book he is reading. Well they are supposed to but we have had same ones for 4 weeks

DS last school he had to write 5 words 3 times and then they had spelling test on the friday of each week but this school is different again...

Time will tell.

Here they did money last term as a prelude, I think, to moving on from numbers 1-20 to numbers 20-100 which they are doing this term. They do 'mental maths' every day which is adding and subtracting; nothing on times tables yet (AFAIK) but are working on simple fractions - 1/2, 1/4 etc.

They have a termly project - this term it's famous people having done Night & Day and Transport; projects are used to teach some history, geography etc as well as doing lovely crafts.

They do handwriting exercises most days so regardless of how good they are at reading, writing stories creatively etc they spend time actually practising and reinforcing letter formation so that they can progress to joined-up writing soon.

Reading - no idea but it's ORT based (ds1 is exceptional in this so no idea about the norm).

Essentially, all should have completed Level A by the end of P3 in reading, writing and maths. Tests are done as and when appropriate for each child so more than a few do at least one of them in P2 - maybe this could give you some baseline idea? Do you have a parents evening soon?
