Are they happy with their work, or could they do better? The ’smiley faces’ are for display and help reinforce the need to self assess. At the end of each lesson, the children can stamp (or draw) a face and then add the mouth. A smile, a straight line or a wiggly line (personally I don’t like sad faces).
