Outdoor Activity Task Cards and Games
**can be used ALL year round!
It's Winter, NO, that does not mean you should be searching for indoor activities - of course, yes, there needs to be indoor learning but PLEASE, make sure you take your students outside in Winter.
I have compiled 110 task cards and games for Winter Outdoor Learning!
The cards are split - yellow are TASKS and green are GAMES.
You can laminate these and loop them with a key ring hoop for extra durability or you can use a plain old grip.
I have them in a big bin and the children choose one card every week for the following week (just incase prep is needed!)
These task cards cover ALL areas of the curriculum. They include; science, geography, understanding the world, literacy, art and maths.
110 Task Cards - you can choose ONE a day!! :)
SPAG - Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Preparation (2)
Assessment is changing- yes,again!
The NEW NC is being assessed for the first time in May 2016.
The KS1 SPAG 2016 ASSESSMENTS are currently still 'in design'.
The content of the tests is being drawn up from the statutory appendices that are already in place from 2014.
The test will consist of three parts; a short written task, it has been suggested that stimulus and prompts may be given. The second section will be themed questions, they may be represented in a number of ways and the third section will focus on Spelling.
All pupils at the end of key stage 1 will be expected to take all three papers. These will be marked 'in house'.
I've put together a 20 page 'mini assessment' covering all three areas.
File has been updated and now includes 29 pages.
This is the Second Workbook / Mini Assessment Book. You can find the first one below.

Self-Evaluation Exit Slips
This resource enables students to reflect on what they have learned and express what or how they are thinking about the new information. Exit Slips easily incorporate writing into the content area classroom and require students to think critically. Exit slips easily incorporate writing into many different content areas.
Furthermore, the Exit Slip strategy is an informal assessment that will allow educators to adapt and differentiate their planning and instruction. These Exit Slips can either be put into student portfolios and/or stuck into class notebooks alongside the lesson.
These Exit Slips ask students for feedback on their lesson, what they have learned, what they may need extra support and/or guidance with. Exit slips can be used for all subjects.
