National Curriculum - Help Required?
 

Do any of the lovely people on the forum have a copy of the national curriculum for KS1 & KS2 they would like to lend me or do me a copy of?

We have asked my daughters school for a copy so that any additional work we do with her support her school work, but they are rubbish and haven't given us anything. Not even a copy of her syllabus for this year.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Don't have any copies to hand, but this might help you. Although you've probably already looked here! :)

National curriculum wont aid much if you dont know which parts your daughter is being taught and how they are being taught

Try www.cgpbooks.co.uk as a basic revision for different areas she should cover but remember not to over load her with academia as it soon puts them off!

What is she doing ??
AS, A level, GCSES ??
and what subjects ??

Re: National Curriculum - Help Required?
 

KS1 and KS2 is infants and juniors I think.

Re: National Curriculum - Help Required?
 

Yep - she is in the 1st year of her junior school aged 8.

We just really wanted a rough idea so that the same principles can be applied to any additional learning, but yes quite right about not too much.

At that age i wouldnt expect to much feed back, they learn fun things, your best bet is to read what shes done and quiz her on it. They get the odd text book aswell, so flick through that.

Hi

It's great when parents want to take such a keen interest in their kids school work

At these Key Stages the curriculum is quite broad and the topics/content can be studied in a variety of ways and orders.
Probably the most useful thing you can do is ask the school for an outline Scheme of Work. This may well be divided into several schemes of Work, for each of the National Curriculum subjects, English, maths, science and so on.

Go and talk to you kids teacher and say how much you want to support her classroom learning. The teacher will soon be explaining in great detail and a smile how you can help! You may even be roped into the classroom if you're that keen.

Good luck!

Good on you for wanting to get involved in the education; hopefully, you can instal a smidgen of interest in them for maths and science, subjects many kids switch off from because they don't understand how it helps them in every-day life.

Good luck!
