ASSESSMENT

‘The Bible topic has 3 assessment tasks on the blue assessment CD. Before teaching the topic you should choose one assessment task to complete with the children at an appropriate time.

4.1 Abraham covers AT 1 strand (i) Level 1-2, (iii) Level 3 & AT 2 strand (i) Level 1

4.1 Jonah covers AT 1 strand (i) Level 3 & AT 2 strand (i) Level 3-4, (ii) Level 4

4.1 The Bible covers AT 1 strand (i) Level 1-2, (iii) Level 3

What follows is an optional assessment for learning grid that can be used to aid driver word led planning and assessment. It provides a map of assessment opportunities that goes beyond the assessment tasks on the Assessment CD. Pupils are not required to gain every statement in a section. Teachers can use the grid to tailor what assessment for learning takes place. It will aid those teachers with mixed aged classes.
