Anglais Writing Vision To develop pupils’ writing skills to enable them to write independently in a variety of genres and for a range of purposes. L'objectif primordial de l'alphabétisation à South Hill est de promouvoir des normes élevées de langue et d'alphabétisation en dotant les élèves d'une solide maîtrise de la langue parlée et écrite et de développer leur amour de la littérature grâce à une lecture généralisée pour le plaisir. Cela permettra à son tour de développer leurs compétences en écriture dans tous les genres; formel et informel. Nous visons à soutenir cela par la promotion de l'alphabétisation et l'utilisation de textes de haute qualité dans tous les domaines de notre programme. Le programme national d'anglais vise à garantir que tous les élèves: lire facilement, couramment et avec une bonne compréhension développer l'habitude de lire largement et souvent, à la fois pour le plaisir et l'information acquérir un large vocabulaire, une compréhension de la grammaire et une connaissance des conventions linguistiques pour la lecture, l'écriture et la langue parlée apprécier notre patrimoine littéraire riche et varié rédiger de manière claire, précise et cohérente, en adaptant leur langage et leur style dans et pour une gamme de contextes, d'objectifs et de publics utiliser la discussion pour apprendre; ils doivent être capables d'élaborer et d'expliquer clairement leur compréhension et leurs idées sont compétents dans l'art de parler et d'écouter, de faire des présentations formelles, de démontrer aux autres et de participer à des débats Long Term Plan - Literacy Grammar Plan Subject Overview - Reading Subject Overview - Writing Listes d'orthographe des programmes KS1, LKS2, UKS2 Utilisez les boutons ci-dessous pour voir ce que chaque année apprend dans les cours d'anglais.

Reading vision ​ To develop children’s decoding, comprehension and fluency to provide them with the reading skills to access the whole curriculum Reading and Phonics Phonics and Read Write Inc À l' école primaire South Hill, nous utilisons le programme phoniques Lire Write Inc (RWI) pour obtenir les enfants un bon départ avec leur niveau d' alphabétisation. RWI est une méthode d'apprentissage centrée sur les sons et la phonétique des lettres et nous l'utilisons pour aider les enfants à lire et à écrire. La lecture ouvre la porte à l'apprentissage. Un enfant qui lit beaucoup deviendra un bon lecteur. Un bon lecteur pourra lire des documents plus stimulants. Un enfant qui lit des textes stimulants est un enfant qui apprendra. Plus un enfant apprend, plus il voudra en savoir plus. Grâce à RWI, les enfants apprennent à lire sans effort afin de pouvoir mettre toute leur énergie à comprendre ce qu'ils lisent. Cela leur permet également d'épeler sans effort afin de pouvoir mettre toute leur énergie à composer ce qu'ils écrivent. Lors de l'utilisation de RWI pour lire, les enfants: Apprenez 44 sons et les groupes de lettres / lettres correspondants à l' aide de simples invites d'image Apprenez à lire des mots en utilisant Fred Talk (par exemple, chat) Lisez des histoires vivantes mettant en vedette des mots qu'ils ont appris à sonner Montrez qu'ils comprennent les histoires en répondant aux questions Lors de l'utilisation de RWI pour écrire, les enfants: Apprenez à écrire les lettres / groupes de lettres qui représentent 44 sons Apprenez à écrire des mots en prononçant les sons dans Fred Talk Écrivez des phrases simples RWI à l'école primaire de South Hill: Les élèves de la réception reçoivent des sessions RWI tous les jours dans un premier temps Les élèves de 1re année reçoivent des sessions RWI tous les jours pendant 20 minutes en se concentrant sur la phonétique Au fur et à mesure de l'année scolaire, les élèves de l'accueil et de la première année sont regroupés en fonction de leurs capacités pour leurs sessions quotidiennes Pour plus d'informations, veuillez consulter les pièces jointes ci-dessous.

As you can see there was lots of hard work to do, from moving old tyres and some old railway sleepers. But it was so worth it because the new raised growing beds for vegetables will enable the garden area to be re-used by the children and will really improve their Science knowledge and of course support their wellbeing and mental health. This project would not have been possible without the incredible help of our volunteers and Mrs Albery would personally like to thank the Harman Group for coming in and working so valiabtly and contributing to purchasing soil and some plants. Additionally, our fabulous PTA who also supported our school with funding and enabled our school to purchase the new bench and plant/ vegetable boxes. Garden Project Mental Health Awareness Week 13.5.24. This week is organised by the Mental Health Foundation. This year’s theme is ‘Movement: moving more for our mental health’. We all know movement is important for our mental wellbeing it boosts our mood and helps us look after our health. However, many of us may find it difficult to prioritise for a number of reasons. Lots of resources were shared with the staff at South Hill on how they can assist children with talking about their mental health and understanding their emotions. If you would like to find out more about supporting your mental wellbeing or tips to help support your child, please visit the Mental Health UK web page here.

A Wriggly Nativity 2023 Our Early Years production for 2023 was called ‘A Wriggly Nativity’. The children took on speaking, acting and singing roles. The traditional nativity story was told through the performance. All the early years children learnt eight songs, complete with actions. The children were fantastic at performing and they were all very excited to have the opportunity to perform on stage to their families and the wider school. We are very proud of them all.

Modern Foreign Language - French “Languages are an essential part of a broad, balanced curriculum. Not only do they provide an opportunity to communicate more effectively with others, they also help children to understand what it is to be a global citizen. This includes the importance of tolerance and understanding, which is crucial knowledge in today’s world.” ​ ​At South Hill, French is taught as a Modern Foreign Language (MFL) in Key stage two. Pupils in Early Years and Key Stage One learn and develop skills, which will support and benefit their future language learning. These include: Communication and language Phonics Reading Grammar Vocabulary Knowledge of different cultures and societies​ Our Curriculum In KS2, French is taught using the ‘Language Angels’ scheme of work. Teaching units have been selected in order to build a wide range of vocabulary and enable progression in our ‘Golden Threads’, which are: LISTENING SPEAKING READING WRITING In the Autumn term, each year group starts with phonetics and pronunciation lessons which teach some of the key sounds in French. Pupils also spend time learning and using some ‘essential vocabulary’ including greetings, numbers and days of the week etc. Pupils then continue developing their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills through a variety of topics throughout the year. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ To ensure learning is enjoyable and memorable, lessons often use stories, songs, role play and a variety of other activities to support pupils to learn, remember and apply French vocabulary. ​ Celebrating languages Within our school, we have pupils that speak many different languages. We aim to celebrate this through whole school events such as ‘International Day’ and ‘International Languages Day’ where each year group selects a country to learn about and to take part in a dance as well as many other activities. We also celebrate languages that are in school by dressing in colours of a chosen nationality and sharing languages, customs and traditions with our friends. ​ ​ ​ ​ 1/5 Long Term Plan Subject Overview Essential Vocab

Music Music Vision ​ To develop pupils’ skills and knowledge as musicians, through Performing, Composing and Appraising At South Hill, we believe that music is a powerful, unique form of communication that can change the way children feel, think and act. It is a key feature of our school and we aim to provide many opportunities for our children to thrive in this area. The teaching of music develops children's ability to listen and it encourages active involvement in different forms of music making both individual and ensemble, developing a sense of group identity and togetherness. It also increases self-discipline, creativity, aesthetic sensitivity and fulfilment. ​ Our aims are: To encourage awareness, enjoyment and appreciation of music in all its forms To develop imagination and creativity To help children of all abilities develop positive attitudes and to experience success and satisfaction in music To offer opportunities to perform, compose and appraise Golden Threads As part of our Music curriculum, we have carefully mapped out 3 key concepts that weave in and out of our learning. These are: Performing Composing Appraising Our Curriculum In EYFS, pupils explore sound making in the key area of ‘Expressive arts and Design’ and have opportunities to respond to music through dance, role play and drama both inside and outside the classroom setting. In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, pupil’s skills and knowledge are developed through our golden threads, which progress throughout the school. Expected outcomes are taken from the National Curriculum and the skills to be taught are drawn from the Model Music Curriculum along with the WEAVE knowledge and skills document. Sing Up and Charanga resources are used as well as our Music specialist teacher. For example: ​ In KS1: Pupils enjoy singing songs together and learn about beat, rhythm and pitch. They also have opportunities to create music together in response to a given stimulus ie. story, picture or theme. ​ In KS2, pupils learn the ukulele and extend their understanding of beat, rhythm and pitch. Pupils learn to read standard notation through learning the glockenspiel and have opportunities to compose music in response to topics and work to incorporate their music knowledge within these projects. ​ Pupils also take part in weekly singing assemblies and have opportunities to join in various musical activities and performances throughout the school year. Please also visit the Young Voices ,Choir and Arts Mark pages ​ Arts Mark Gold South Hill have been awarded a Artsmark Gold Award, which highlighted ’our opportunities for children in Key Stage 2 to participate in instrumental tuition, including ukulele and Djembe drumming. Pupils also participate in Choir extra-curricular club and have opportunities to showcase and celebrate their musical achievements locally and at national events, such as at Young Voices. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Our feedback from the the Arts Mark assessors: ​ 'You clearly value the Arts and recognise their contribution to your mission statement of 'Building Character, Learning Together' at South Hill Primary School. Although some of your plans were inevitably stymied by the pandemic, you have used your Artsmark journey to develop children's understanding of arts and artists from a wider variety of different cultural heritages, so that cultural diversity is being promoted through your arts curriculum and your annual International Day. Music is a growing strength within your overall arts offer with lessons provided by a specialist music teacher. Your partnership with Hertfordshire Music Service is providing opportunities for children in Key Stage 2 to participate in instrumental tuition, including ukulele and Djembe drumming. Pupils can also participate in Choir extra-curricular club, and have opportunities to showcase and celebrate their musical achievements locally and at national events, such as at Young Voices. Astutely, you have capitalised on the skills and expertise of various school stakeholders, including a parent who is an animator. This opportunity, along with the chance for children to see a range of artists and makers at work at the Dacorum Arts Centre, has enabled pupils to develop an understanding of carer pathways and job opportunities in the Arts. Teachers' confidence has increased as a result of their training from local secondary colleagues in drawing, watercolour and collagraph printing. We suggest for the future that you strengthen your partnerships with arts and culture venues, and seek out new collaborations and opportunities with arts professionals which could help you to increase your range of offer and provide external, specialist training opportunities for your staff. It is great to hear that you are beginning to develop pupil voice through your Arts Ambassadors, and that they have relished the opportunity to work with your Forest Schools Leader to develop and implement plans to enhance the outdoor area. ​ Congratulations on your Artsmark Gold Award! ​ ​ ​ After a visit from Hertfordshire Music Service we have achieved a Music Mark to celebrate the value that we place on music here at South Hill. Music Mark schools are recognised for their commitment to music education. By being invited to be a Music mark school we can access resources for our staff and pupils and be kept up to date with the latest national and regional sector news and events. This is part of our recognition letter: 'Music Mark works to support and enable the music education sector to deliver high-quality musical and social outcomes for all children and young people. On behalf of Music Mark and from us at Hertfordshire Music Service, we would like to thank you for all the hard work your school does to support this collective vision. Music Mark Schools is supported through a partnership with ABRSM.' ​ ​ 1/16 Subject Overview Long term Plan Our Arts Ambassadors with the some pieces of Art completed as part of the Arts Mark Award.
