If your fed up with hunting for decent science assessments for Year 2 children, or paying well over the odds for them, then look no further. This resource includes four different assessments as well as a detailed mark scheme, designed to make marking efficient. Every single Year 2 science objective (NC 2014) is covered in each of the child friendly tests. Not enough? Well, also included is an excel spreadsheet which has been designed to make tracking progress a breeze. Simply fill in the marks for each child and the spreadsheet will do the rest of the work for you. It will give you a 'grade' for each individual objective, a total grade for each science topic and an overall science grade. This method of assessment quickly allows you not just to see individual pupils' weaknesses, but also weaknesses within the class as a whole and provides the teacher with an excellent evidence base. In this era of tracking without levels, this is an essential resource for all Year 2 teachers. Please, leave feedback for this amazing resource!

There are a lot of good spelling resources out there, but nothing like this. This super spreadsheet will create differentiated spelling sheets, practice sheets and handwriting sheets by selecting words randomly from a massive 1000+ word bank (included in spreadsheet). Simply, choose the spelling rule from a drop-down menu, randomise the lists (F9) and then print (sheets have been set up for easy printing). You will never need to create your own lists/practise sheets/handwriting sheets again, saving yourself hours of work, and the randomising feature means no two lists/sheets will ever be the same. In addition, a random activity is also generated for each spelling list, reinforcing learning and there is a spreadsheet for recording spelling test results that makes it easy to track pupils' progress.
ALL 25 spelling rules included. 1000s of sheets at your fingertips. Everything you need in one place. Easy to use. A massive TIME SAVER!
