Writing and comparing Information Texts (including 2xA3 VCOP'd poster version)

Writing and comparing Information Texts (including 2xA3 VCOP'd poster version)

(0)
Two information texts about the same subject (volcanoes). One is significantly better written than the other. A good activity to get children to compare and contrast written text, particularly good for getting children to spot grammar features and high-level punctuation. The details are not glaringly obvious but word choice is markedly improved in the better version, as well as more detail having been added. A VCOP'd poster version has been included to display the features in your class. Also excellent for getting children to summarize a text.

KS2 Example Newspaper with blank templates.

This resource pack includes a everything you need for the children to have a go at writing a high-level Newspaper. Included is: - An example modeled newspaper article, complete with headline, text, pictures, advertisement and Year Six standard Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (in pdf and .doc format) - A blank template. I've set this so that the text automatically flows into the other text boxes as children write more. This will save a lot of teacher time in lessons. Helpful to allow a bit more independence! Please give feedback or rate this resource. I also take requests.
KS1 2017 SATs GPS Gap Analysis Grid (including tests and conversion tables) - SATs Prep

KS1 2017 SATs GPS Gap Analysis Grid (including tests and conversion tables) - SATs Prep

(0)
These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the 2017 Year Two SATs Papers for GPS. The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability. If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2017 SATs with that score. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject. I have also included an instructions and document page, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included a link to the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score. All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s, 2’s or 3’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong. The sheets are set up for 32 pupils but more can be added/deleted and instructions are on the first page/sheet. Some cells are locked/protected in this document but the parts that you need to insert yourself are editable. This is so that the formulas/algorithms do not break and render the spreadsheet’s functionalities as broken. I take requests for Gap Analysis Grids. Please leave feedback if you like this resource as I am planning to produce more for each SATs paper going forward, as well as CGP Practice Papers. Please remember to rate this resource as I made this to save teachers time. Thank-you.

White Rose Summer end of term Assessment Gap Analysis / QLA Year 5 (2021-2022)

Applicable for the 2021-2022 WRM assessments. This resource will save you many hours work when trying to use Assessment for Learning in your class. There are two QLA grids included in one Excel document for help with Gap Analysis. Arithmetic Reasoning Input the data using the marks from the papers and the grid will change colour to show where a child has been successful or not answered a question correctly, or at all. The spreadsheet will auto-calculate how successful the whole cohort has been on particular questions. These are linked directly to the WRM small steps so you can see which lessons and steps need to be revised. 30 children can be entered in this document. The total score thresholds auto-calculate and change colour to help indicate which children are working at approximately an expected standard (EXS) level or a Greater Depth (GDS) level. These thresholds use historical KS2 SATs thresholds to make them as accurate as possible. Please note, some of the cells are locked for editing so that users do not break the spreadsheet functionality. Passwords will not be given out. However, I am more than happy to assist with any adaptations you need. Additionally, I am in no way affiliated with White Rose Maths. No White Rose Maths resources are included in this product. Freely available content is linked to within it.
