Welcome back Academic Year 2013 - 2014

http://www.cie.org.uk/qualifications/academic/primary/cambridgeprimary/resources

The link above will take you to the curriculum framework for Cambridge Primary.  We are using this curriculum for Science, Literacy and Mathematics.  The other subjucets we are continuing to use the UK curriculum. http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curriculum/primary  You can see the two curriculums are very closely aligned. 
Year two students are predominately working on stage 2 of the Cambridge Curriculum.

We will not be sitting year 2 SATs this year as there have been no new SATs since 2009 for year 2.
We will be assessing throughout the year in class formally and informally.
