With assistance, #N's is able to write a composition that includes a relatively main idea. 2=#E needs to talk about #h ideas at length before initiating any written work. Once #e has expressed #s orally, #e can begin to recognize key words and concepts which can aid the writing process. #E requires intensive support in this area to be successful. #E feels more successful in writing when the teacher initially scribes for #m. This helps #m organize #h thoughts and stay on task. #E has difficulty with completing written assignment without direct supervision. 3=Revision of own written work is done #routinely. 4=#Encouragement uses the proofreading checklist sheet. 5=Evidence (test results) shows that #N’s written work has improved due to independent, peer or teacher assisted proofreading and revision. 6=Lessons learned in class have always been applied to written work, and #N is to be congratulated on the consistent effort in this area. 7=#N’s work is always done to the very best of ability and displays eagerness to follow our planning, proofreading and editing routines. 8=#N continued to amaze everyone with #h progress in writing this term.

COMMENTS: TRA01: Introduction 1=In the unit 'Habitats' #N began to understand the concept of a habitat, how it provides organisms found there with conditions for life and how animals depend on plants or other animals which eat plants for food. Throughout the unit ways in which organisms are suited to the habitat was clearly emphasised. #H experimental and investigative work focused on #m turning #h ideas into a form that could be tested and making a prediction. #E has make observations. After this, #e had to decide COMMENTS: TRA02: Evaporation 1=Section 2: Water evaporation & Section 3: Evaporation of other liquids 2=#E was able to identify the process that takes place when water changes to a gas as evaporation. 3=#E could identify a range of contexts in which water evaporates. 4=#E has described some contexts in which other liquids evaporate. 5=#E is able to explain that #e can smell things when liquids evaporate and the gas reaches #h nose. COMMENTS: TRA02: Habitats 1=Section 2: Finding different habitats 2=#E has identified local habitats and recognised those which are similar in scale or diversity. 3=#E recognises that animals and plants are found in many places e.g. on window sills. COMMENTS: TRA03: Animals 1=Section 3: Different animals in different habitats 2=Children: 3=#E could make and justify a prediction e.g. the woodlice would be under the stones because it's damp there. 4=#E has described a habitat in terms of its environmental conditions eg leaf litter is cool, damp and dark. 5=#E was able to state that animals and plants are found in some places and not in others and #e could explain why. COMMENTS: TRA03: Investigation 1=Sections 4-6: Planning to investigate evaporation 2=#E is able to identify factors that could affect how fast water evaporates. 3=#E was able to make a reasonable prediction and, with some help, suggest a fair test to test the prediction. 4=#E could, with help in choosing what to do, present #h results in a graph. 5=#E was able to compare #h results and draw #h own conclusions. 6=#E is able to explain how to make things 'dry' more quickly using #h own ideas about the factors affecting evaporation. COMMENTS: TRA04: Condensation 1=Section 7: Condensation & Section 8: Finding condensation 2=#E was able to identify the process which takes place when water vapour turns to a liquid as condensation. 3=#E is able to explain why condensation occurs in a number of situations such as on kitchen windows on a cold day or on cold taps in the bathroom. 4=#E was able to explain where condensation wasn't so frequently seen. 5=#E knows that air contains water vapour which cannot be seen but its vapour may condense when it hits a cold surface. 6=#E recognises condensation in the bathroom as droplets of water forming on a cold surface. COMMENTS: TRA04: Grouping 1=Section 4: Grouping living things 2=#E is able to identify similarities and differences between similar organisms. 3=#E can group animals and explain #h criteria on which the groups are based. COMMENTS: TRA05: Boiling 1=Section 9: Boiling 2=#E was able to identify the pattern in #h data and use this to make predictions. 3=#E has recognised that simply heating water at its boiling point will not result in it getting hotter. 4=#E can state that the boiling temperature of water is 100C. COMMENTS: TRA05: Calculating 1=Foundation Stage Calculating objectives 2=----------------------------------------------- 3=#E is beginning to relate addition to combining two groups of objects and subtraction to 'taking away'. 4=In practical activities and discussion, #e is starting to use the vocabulary involved in adding and subtracting. 5=#E can count repeated groups of the same size. 6=#E has been able to share objects into equal groups and count how many there are in each group. 7=Year 1 Calculating objectives 8=----------------------------------- 9=#E can relate addition to counting on. 10=#E recognises that addition can be done in any order. 11=#E is able to use practical and informal written methods to support the addition of a one-digit number or a multiple of 10 to a one-digit or two-digit number. 12=#E understands subtraction as 'take away' and find a 'difference' by counting up. 13=#E is able to use practical and informal written methods to support the subtraction of a one-digit number from a one digit or two-digit number and a multiple of 10 from a two-digit number. 14=#E solves practical problems that involve combining groups of 2, 5 or 10, or sharing into equal groups. 15=#E has used the vocabulary related to addition and subtraction and symbols to describe and record addition and subtraction number sentences. 16=Year 2 Calculating objectives 17=----------------------------------- 18=#E adds or subtracts mentally a one-digit number or a multiple of 10 to or from any two-digit number. #N uses practical and informal written methods to add and subtract two-digit numbers. 19=#E understands that subtraction is the inverse of addition and vice versa. #N uses this to derive and record the related addition and subtraction number sentences. 20=#E can represent repeated addition and arrays as multiplication, and sharing and repeated subtraction (grouping) as division. COMMENTS: TRA05: Calculating--part2 1=#N has used practical and informal written methods and the related vocabulary to support multiplication and division, including calculations with remainders. 2=#E uses the symbols +, -, �, � and = to record and interpret number sentences involving all four operations. 3=#N has calculated the value of an unknown in a number sentence (e.g. ? � 2 = 6, 30 - ? = 24). COMMENTS: TRA05: Keys 1=Section 5: Using keys to identify plants and animals 2=#E has used simple keys to identify local plants and animals. COMMENTS: TRA06: Investigation 1=Section 6: Investigating plants and animals 2=#E was able to suggest a question which related to an organism in its natural habitat and #e was able to say what #e thought would happen. 3=#E could recognise what evidence was needed e.g. woodlice should be able to choose between a damp and a dry place and that a reasonable number of woodlice should be used. 4=#E has made observations which were relevant to the question under investigation. 5=#E could draw #h own conclusions which matched the observations made and #e was able to relate these to #h original prediction and to #h knowledge about the habitat. COMMENTS: TRA06: Melting 1=Section 10: Observing melting 2=#E is able to state that the freezing temperature of water is 0C. 3=#E recognises that the temperature in the classroom is usually around 18C - 22C.

COMMENTS: TRA06: Shapes--part2 1=#E knows that a right angle represents a quarter turn. COMMENTS: TRA07: Changes 1=#E has a good understanding that melting, freezing, evaporation and condensing are all changes which can be reversed and all changes which involved a change of state #independence 2=#N can give examples of melting, freezing, evaporation and condensing #support. COMMENTS: TRA07: Comment 7 1=Section 7: Finding out about food sources & Section 8: Identifying food chains 2=#E was able to describe what a particular animal eats and explain that it could only live where its food source was available and where the conditions e.g. warmth, moisture are suitable. 3=#E can identify the food of a specific animal e.g. the privet hawk moth prefers privet. 4=#E has stated that predators eat other animals. 5=#E is able to identify animals which are predators and their prey. 6=#E knows that many animals which are prey live on green plants. 7=#E has sequenced a valid food chains relating to a local habitats using the arrow convention correctly.
