1. A farmer has to get a fox, a duck, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the duck are left together, the fox will eat the duck. If the duck and the corn are left together, the duck will eat the corn. How does the man do it? The Problem:

2. 1.The man takes the DUCK across the river, (the fox and corn are safe together), 2. The man then takes the FOX across the river and he brings the DUCK back with him. 3.He takes the CORN across and leaves it with the FOX. 4. He then returns to pick up the DUCK and heads across the river one last time. The Solution:

3. The National Literacy and Numeracy Framework Information for Parents and Carers Supporting schools to implement the Literacy and Numeracy Framework STEPASIDE PRIMARY SCHOOL 15 TH APRIL 2015 NSP Partner: KATE ANDREWS

4. Aims To enable you to; Gain an overview of the Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) Learn about how this impacts in the classroom Know where to find out more information

5. What is LITERACY ? Literacy means using language skills in daily activities at school, at home, at work and in the community. Literacy describes the series of skills, (talking, listening, reading and writing), that are needed to make sense of the world around us.

6. What is NUMERACY ? Numeracy means using mathematical skills in daily activities - at school, at home, at work and in the community. Numeracy describes the series of skills that are needed to deal with life’s problems in a variety of situations.

7. Why do we need the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework? Evidence from: research from employers Estyn inspection reports end of Key Stage Teachers’ Assessments PISA results qualifications shows that Wales must improve its literacy and numeracy levels across the population. 1 in 4 adults in Wales has a reading age of lower than 9 yrs 6 months! (25%)

9. identifies annual expected outcomes in literacy and numeracy for all learners aged 4 – 14, (Nursery to Year 9) is a curriculum planning tool to help teachers to embed literacy and numeracy skills across the curriculum Welsh Government drive is that the children of Wales are able to develop excellent literacy and numeracy skills during their time in school. What is the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework?

10. Literacy – structure StrandElementsAspects Oracy across the curriculum Developing and presenting information and ideas Speaking Listening Collaboration and discussion Reading across the curriculum Locating, selecting and using information Reading strategies Responding to what has been read Comprehension Response and analysis Writing across the curriculum Organising ideas and information Meaning, purposes, readers Structure and organisation Writing accuratelyLanguage Handwriting Grammar Punctuation Spelling

13. Y2 read hours and minutes on a 12-hour digital clock read ‘half past’, ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’ on an analogue clock read hours and minutes on a 12-hour digital clock read ‘half past’, ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’ on an analogue clock Y1 use the concept of time in terms of their daily and weekly activities and the seasons of the year use standard units of time to read ‘o’clock’ using both analogue and 12-hour digital clocks use the concept of time in terms of their daily and weekly activities and the seasons of the year use standard units of time to read ‘o’clock’ using both analogue and 12-hour digital clocks R R demonstrate a developing sense of how long tasks and everyday events take Strand: Using measuring skills Element: Time anticipate events related to elements of daily routines and use the terms ‘before’ and ‘after’ N N

14. Strand: Using measuring skills Element: Time read and use analogue and digital clocks time events in minutes and seconds, and order the results read and use analogue and digital clocks time events in minutes and seconds, and order the results time events in minutes and seconds to the nearest tenth of a second use and interpret timetables and schedules to plan events and activities and make calculations as part of the planning process time events in minutes and seconds to the nearest tenth of a second use and interpret timetables and schedules to plan events and activities and make calculations as part of the planning process tell the time to the nearest minute on analogue clocks read hours and minutes on a 24-hour digital clock time and order events in seconds tell the time to the nearest minute on analogue clocks read hours and minutes on a 24-hour digital clock time and order events in seconds Y4 Y5 Y6 Y3 * tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes on an analogue clock and calculate how long it is to the next hour

15. Interpret fractions of a second appropriately use timetables and time zones to calculate travel time Interpret fractions of a second appropriately use timetables and time zones to calculate travel time measure and record time in hundredths of a second use time zones measure and record time in hundredths of a second use time zones Y7 Y8 Strand: Using measuring skills Element: Time

16. Managing Money Year 5 – Plan and track money and savings by keeping accurate records learn about the importance of budgeting Year 6 Use terms profit and loss Understand the advantages and disadvantages of using bank accounts Value for money, price comparisons Year 1 - Use different combinations of money to pay for items up to 20p Year 4 - Manage money, compare costs from different retailers and determine what can be bought within a given budget

18. Be Positive About Maths We use maths every day without realising it.

19. Learners from Year 2 to Year 9 will sit two National Numeracy Tests and one Reading Test in May 2015 Reading and Numeracy Tests

23. Is the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework for every pupil? Yes... The Framework includes every learner, from the Reception class to Year 9. Every pupil is expected to make progress according to his / her ability :. Pupils with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) could be working below the age related expectations. More able and talented pupils (MAT) could be working beyond the expectations for the year. (There are extension statements available.)

24. Impact for your children? English and Mathematics are still taught Literacy and Numeracy skills are applied in all subjects, e.g. P.E., History, Music Literacy and numeracy skills are constantly being used so that children remember them Tracking of children’s skills Children involved in assessing and targets Reports to parents

25. How can we as parents and carers help our child to develop good literacy and numeracy skills? By...  Supporting the school’s work.......  Supporting your child with their reading  Everyday experiences with money, time, measuring, number  Encouraging thinking

30. If we review and apply then we remember what we learn.
