Curriculum Map: English

This Curriculum Map shows the organisation of knowledge and skills within Mathematics across year groups. It works in conjunction with the

Curriculum Maps for Mathematics and Contexts for Learning to embody the detail of the National Curriculum and support teacher’s

planning.

These Maps are used by teachers in each year group to produce a half-termly or termly Context Plan, weekly Maths and English Plans and

a weekly Timetable. Separate plans for Music, PE and French are produced by our specialist teachers in these subjects.

Teachers meet to plan with their year group partners (the teacher of the other class in the year group) and teaching assistants on a weekly

basis. During these meetings they evaluate the previous week’s teaching and learning, using On-going assessments of each child’s progress,

and plan for the coming week. Planning is informed by evaluation. Maths and English Plans are produced each week and the year group’s

Context Plan is reviewed and refreshed each week. A proforma for each plan is available.

Through these processes, the school offers the children a broad and balanced curriculum that provides rigor and structure for progression

within subjects, while remaining flexible and responsive to individual and group attainment and need.

words

� the days of the week

� name the letters of the alphabet:

� naming the letters of the alphabet in order

� using letter names to distinguish between alternative spellings of the same sound

helped, helper, eating, quicker, quickest]

� apply simple spelling rules and guidance, as listed in English Appendix 1

� write from memory simple sentences dictated by the teacher that include words using the GPCs and

common exception words taught so far.

exclamation mark

Grammar. Develop their understanding of the concepts set out in English Appendix 2

Pupils should be taught to develop their understanding of the concepts set out in English Appendix 2 by:

� leaving spaces between words

� joining words and joining clauses using and

� learning the grammar for year 1 in English Appendix 2

� use the grammatical terminology in English Appendix 2 in discussing their writing.

Punctuation. Indicate grammatical and other features by:

� using a capital letter for names of people, places, the days of the week, and the personal pronoun ‘I’


Spelling (See Appendix 1 for teaching points)

The boundary between revision of work covered in Reception and the introduction of new work may vary according to the programme used, but basic revision should

include:

� all letters of the alphabet and the sounds which they most commonly represent

� consonant digraphs which have been taught and the sounds which they represent

� vowel digraphs which have been taught and the sounds which they represent

� the process of segmenting spoken words into sounds before choosing graphemes to represent the sounds

� words with adjacent consonants

The sounds /f/, /l/,

/s/, /z/ and /k/

spelt ff, ll, ss, zz

and ck

The /ŋ/ sound

spelt n before k

Division of words

into syllables

-tch The /v/ sound at

the end of words

Adding s and es to

words (plural of

nouns and the

third person

singular of verbs)

Adding the

endings –ing, –ed

and –er to verbs

where no change

is needed to the

root word

Adding –er and –

est to adjectives

where no change

is needed to the

root word

Example words

(non-statutory)

off, well, miss,

buzz, back

Example words

(non-statutory)

bank, think, honk,

sunk

Example words

(non-statutory)

pocket, rabbit,

carrot, thunder,

sunset

Example words

(non-statutory)

catch, fetch,

kitchen, notch,

hutch

Example words

(non-statutory)

have, live, give

Example words

(non-statutory)

cats, dogs, spends,

rocks, thanks,

catches

Example words

–ing and –er

always add an

extra syllable to

the word and –ed

sometimes does.

The past tense of

some verbs may

sound as if it ends

in /Ǻd/ (extra

syllable), /d/ or /t/

(no extra syllable),

but all these

endings are spelt –

ed.

If the verb ends in

two consonant

letters (the same

or different), the

ending is simply

added on.

Example words

(non-statutory)

As with verbs, if

the adjective ends

in two consonant

letters (the same

or different), the

ending is simply

added on.

Punctuation & Grammar Terminology for pupils

preposition conjunction

word family, prefix

clause, subordinate clause

direct speech

consonant, consonant letter vowel,

vowel letter

inverted commas (or ‘speech marks’)

Grammar. Develop their understanding of the concepts set out in English Appendix 2 by:

� extending the range of sentences with more than one clause by using a wider range of conjunctions, including when, if,

because, although

� Use of the present perfect form of verbs instead of the simple past [for example, He has gone out to play contrasted with

He went out to play]

� indicating possession by using the possessive apostrophe with plural nouns

� Introduction to inverted commas to punctuate direct speech

� use and understand the grammatical terminology in English Appendix 2 accurately and appropriately when discussing their

writing and reading.


Year 4

Reading At this stage, teaching comprehension should be taking precedence over teaching word reading directly. Any focus on word reading should support the development of vocabulary.

When pupils are taught to read longer words, they should be supported to test out different pronunciations. They will attempt to match what they decode to words they may have

already heard but may not have seen in print [for example, in reading ‘technical’, the pronunciation /tǫǫǫǫtȓȓȓȓnǺǺǺǺkəl/ (‘tetchnical’) might not sound familiar, but /tǫǫǫǫknǺǺǺǺkəl/ (‘teknical’) should].

Word

� apply their growing

knowledge of root

words, prefixes and

suffixes (etymology

listed in English Appendix 1, both

to read aloud and to

understand the

meaning of new

words they meet

� read further

exception words,

noting the unusual

correspondences

between spelling and

sound, and where

these occur in the

word.

Comprehension

� using dictionaries to check the meaning of words that they have read

� increasing their familiarity with a wide range of books, including fairy stories, myths and legends, and retelling some of these orally

� identifying themes and conventions in a wide range of books

� preparing poems and play scripts to read aloud and to perform, showing understanding through intonation, tone, volume and action

� discussing words and phrases that capture the reader’s interest and imagination

� recognising some different forms of poetry [for example, free verse, narrative poetry]

understand what they read, in books they can read independently, by:

� checking that the text makes sense to them, discussing their understanding and explaining the meaning of words in context

� asking questions to improve their understanding of a text

� drawing inferences such as inferring characters’ feelings, thoughts and motives from their actions, and justifying inferences with evidence


� identifying main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph and summarising these

� identifying how language, structure, and presentation contribute to meaning

� retrieve and record information from non-fiction

� participate in discussion about both books that are read to them and those they can read for themselves, taking turns and listening to

what others say.

Spelling (see English Appendix 1)

Pupils should learn to spell new words correctly and have plenty of practice in spelling them.

As in years 1 and 2, pupils should continue to be supported in understanding and applying the concepts of word structure (see English Appendix 2).

Pupils need sufficient knowledge of spelling in order to use dictionaries efficiently.
