ASSESSMENT

The topic ‘Mission of the Church’ has 2 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.

4.5 ‘Mission of the Church’ (Pupil Book 4 p. 62) covers AT 1 (i) L2; AT2 (i) L3, (ii) L4

4.4 ‘Mission of the Church’ covers AT 1 (i) L2, (iii) L3-4; AT 2 (i) L1, (ii) L2

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.
