Assessment
Staff gather evidence on the children’s attainment. Evidence is kept in a Learning Journey for each child. Each week eight children wear a star badge and staff gather detailed observations on them. These children will bring an observation sheet home for parents and carers to record interests and achievements from home to be added to their learning journey. Learning journeys are available for parents and carers to see.
Every half term a Newsletter will be sent home outlining our topic and whole class learning intentions.
