A short story with 25 photographs to introduce aspects of the first world war. Ideal for assemblies or class discussions. Armistace Day. Wilfred Owen and Dulce et decorum est.
Photos can be used in teaching to focus on:
life in the trenches
propaganda posters of world war 1
under-age conscription
the meaning of the poppy
This is all through Wilfred Owen's poem the 'lie' of - dulce et decorum est (How sweet and honourable it is to die for one's country)
I wrote this initially for armistice day - useful for an 11th November assembly

Key STage 2 conversion tables for scaled score for 2018. Reading and maths. Also comparisons between 2017 and 2018 thresholds
to convert these to indicative progress scores please downloads my easy to use spreadsheets here
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/pag-progress-and-attainment-calculator-for-2018-ks2-sats-30-60-or-90-pupil-versions-11909586
Enter each pupil’s details - name, gender, PPG and SEN status as well as their KS1 and KS2 SATs outcomes and this spreadsheet automatically calculates:
The prior attainment group (PAG) group for each child
individual, class and group pupil progress and attainment
calculates children’s attainment and progress based on their cohort, gender, PPG and SEN status
See pictures for how the data is shown.
what to do:
enter each child’s name, gender, PPG and SEn status to the pupil info tab only
Enter KS1 results (includes P levels)
Enter KS2 results scaled scores for maths and reading. For writing the following codes are accepted - GD, EXS, WTS, PKG, PKE, PKF, BLW, P8, P7, P6, P5, P4, P3ii, P3i, P2ii, P2i ,P1ii, P1i
From here the spreadsheet does the rest
Calculates the PAG for each child and from this, sets the targets in reading, writing and maths for each child, based on a R&W average and then a KS1 average - see attached DfE document for further guidance
Once the KS2 data is added, the spreadsheet calculates each child’s progress and this is reflected in a green or red formatting for easy reference
On the summary tab, progress scores are calculated for the whole cohort, boys, girls, disadvantaged and other, SEN support and no SEN. The percentage achieving the standard or higher for each of these groups as well as the percentages achieving RWM for each category. This is mirrored for the percentage of children achieving the higher standard in for each group and RWM. Finally, the average scaled scores are calculated for overall and each group.
In addition, you can enter your 2017 data for easy comparison.
Each sheet fits neatly onto an A4 sheet for use by governors, SLT or school ‘visitors’
These 36 resources are based on the Collins maths scheme, but are easily transferable to any week’s learning as they are based on new expectations for each group.
Children stick these into their books at the start of the week’s learning journey and record at the end. I have chosen smiley faces as a sad, mixed and smiley can be too negative. I would suggest ways in which they can be used, though there will be more:
1. Either as a traffic light system, with children colouring them red, amber or green depending on how they see their progress, or
2. By adding hairs to the faces – 1 for not achieved, 2 for nearly and 3 for achieved.
I have created the 36 lists for each year group if you want to see progression of skills. I am in the process of developing assessments sheets for each core statement as well.
