There are a range of literacy, art and research tasks included.

This is a set of formative assessment strategies to use in class. I like to have a set of these printed out and on my desk or in my planner and I use it as a way to make sure I’m using lots of different strategies to formatively assess learning throughout the day! Hope they help!

This is a set of plenary sentence stems to use in class. I’ve added the matching questions for teachers to use (they are colour coded). I like to have a set of these printed out and on my desk or stuck to the back of my classroom door and I use it as a prompt for discussions during plenaries or when the children are completing learning logs. Hope they help!
