Welcome to Ripple Infants School

We teach children to respect, accept and value their classmates and adults in our multicultural school community and in their lives outside school by being role models. We want children to enjoy their time at school and will strive to create a comfortable and secure environment in which they feel cared for and valued by developing the children's independence, confidence and ability to make decisions for themselves.

We aim to make our school community welcoming and friendly in a safe environment. We feel that it is important that parents and teachers work alongside each other to help and support the children.

Within Key Stage One (Years 1 & 2), children follow the National Curriculum. The following gives a description of the work that will have been covered using a range of teaching strategies.

English

English is taught during the literacy hour. The school follows the Barking and Dagenham English Project, and within blocked units, texts are explored in depth and literacy skills are enhanced. Reading and Spelling Workshops develop word, sentence and text-level skills. Handwriting is taught within whole class lessons.

Speaking and Listening

Children will speak clearly and audibly in full sentences. They will retell a story in a logical sequence and express opinions about a story, using appropriate vocabulary. They will be able to compare similarities and differences, participate in class discussion. They are encouraged to listen with interest to other children and teachers.

Reading

They will read aloud confidently and with expression and be able to discuss the text, answering oral and written questions.

Writing

Children will write descriptive stories with a clear structure, write instructions, notes, and record experiences. Literacy lessons within Year One will focus on Short Texts, Rhyme and Rhythm, Stories About Bears, Information Texts, Fairy Tales and Stories & Poetry. Within Year Two, literacy lessons will focus on the work of Author Martin Waddell, Information Texts, Traditional Tales, Short Stories & Poetry and Tales from Different Cultures. Children will correctly spell a wide range of commonly used words and use punctuation. Their writing will be legible and even in size. They will be systematically taught a range of spelling patterns. Most children are taught to join their handwriting within Year One.

Mathematics

They will tackle independently addition and subtraction to 100 and be able to tackle simple multiplication and division. They will be able to solve simple problems and justify answers. They will be able to perform simple calculations mentally. Children will sort and describe common 3D and 2D shapes and understand and know the language for standard units of length, weight, and capacity. They will make calculations using money to £5 and be able to use, interpret and devise appropriate data collection methods.

Science

Children will be able to experiment and investigate and have knowledge of electricity, materials, sound and light and a range of environmental issues. Within Year One, children will explore the topics of Ourselves, Reflections, Sorting & Using Properties, Movement, Plants & Growth and Variation. The topics of Sound, Changing materials, Electricity, Health & Growth, Plants & Animals in the Local Environment and The Effects of Human Activity on the Environment will be examined within Year Two.

Information Communication Technology

Each classroom is equipped with at least four computers and a large screen and projector for whole class teaching (Whole Class Interactive Technology). There are also various other items of equipment including laptops and cameras. Other computers are situated around the school to provide the children with opportunities for individual work and collaborative work. It is a DfES requirement that ICT will be used within the teaching of English, Mathematics and Science within Key Stage One. At Ripple Infants, we believe that ICT should be used creatively to enhance the teaching of all subjects within the National Curriculum - helping to raise participation and increase understanding. Furthermore, ICT should also be used selectively during the consolidation elements of lessons thus providing children with opportunities to develop communication, collaboration skills, subject-based knowledge and increased ICT skills.

Religious Education

Children will learn stories from different religions and their relevance to our lives. They begin to talk about important issues in life, develop a greater awareness of right and wrong, play an active role in the school community and show an awareness of how others feel. We follow the Barking and Dagenham Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. The basis of our teaching is Christian, however we also teach about other faiths and celebrations.

Geography

Children discuss their environment and recognise and describe features of particular areas. They use simple geographical vocabulary and read simple maps. Within Year One, children explore the topics of Shops & Food, Making the Streets Safer and The Seaside. The topics of Around our School, An Island Home and North, South, East, West are followed in Year 2.

History

Children are aware that the past is represented in different ways and learn to answer questions about the past from different information sources and from observations. Within Year One, children explore the topics of Homes, Toys and Holidays. The topics of Schools, The Great Fire of London and Florence Nightingale are followed in Year 2.

Design and Technology

P.E CLOTHING/KIT:

For safety and hygienic reasons children are expected to change for PE. They will need:

• A white T-shirt and navy or white shorts.
• A tracksuit or extra jumper and trousers for outdoor PE on chilly days.
• Children do not wear footwear for indoor PE - it is safer to work in bare feet. Children will, however, need    plimsolls or trainers for out-door activities
• Please inform school if your child has a verucca. He/ she will need to wear plimsolls for all PE lessons, until    the verucca has gone.
• Children who forget their PE kit will be expected to do PE in pants and vest.

PE is part of the school curriculum and is important for your child's healthy development; he/she will be expected to participate in all lessons.

It is very difficult to identify lost items of uniform, so please mark clothing with your child's name.

Wearing jewellery in PE lessons is hazardous and children should not attend school wearing earings on PE days.

School Uniform can be purchased from 'National Schoolwear Centres'.  E-mail the Barking branch by clicking here.
