Applying to secondary schools

It is very important that parents apply for their children's secondary school places by October 31st. Please read at the information below.

Knowledge Organisers

• Knowledge Organisers are documents which outline the main elements of the topics being learnt during the half term.
• You can access them online on the website to use regularly to support learning.
• Use the mini quiz to test knowledge at the start and then again at the end of the term.
• Learning the key vocabulary is essential.

Homework

Carousel Learning

What is Carousel Learning?

At Ryvers, we continue to use Carousel Learning as a useful retrieval and assessment tool that can be used for all subjects and enables teachers to build a solid picture of the learning of all children, continue building on a variety of skills - such as questioning, speaking and listening, identifying key information and retrieval of previous learning, and ensure that no learning opportunity is missed.

Why Carousel Learning?

Carousel Learning allows children to access retrieval tasks independently and take more ownership of their learning journey, which are important skills that teachers work to embed from Early Years through to Year 6. Carousel Learning allows children to assess their own tasks and learning across a range of subjects, enables them to learn from their mistakes and helps to promote discussion in class to support their speaking and listening skills as part of our Oracy focus.

We also use Carousel for homework as well as other websites such as My Maths and Purple Mash. Click the button below to view homework.

Activity Passports

Each year group has its own list of around twenty activities, which works out at about seven per term. They can be done in any order. The majority of these activities will cost little or nothing to complete. It is entirely up to you whether or not you do the activities, but there are some good ideas for when you can't think of something to do.
