Knowledge Organisers

At the beginning of each half term, every child is given a  pack of Knowledge Organisers. These are documents which outline the main elements of the topics being learnt during the half term. Please do keep them in a safe place and use them 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.

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. When your child has completed an activity, then please let the class teacher know by showing a photograph, ticket or postcard etc. At the end of the year, we will award bronze, silver or gold certificates according to the number of activities each child has completed.
