1. Assessing RECONCILIATION ~ INTER-RELATING
For our Catholic Schools

2. Assessing RECONCILIATION ~ INTER-RELATING
This term, the formally assessed theme is the SACRAMENTAL THEME – RECONCILIATION
We will be formally assessing AT1 (ii). The children may be informally assessed against the other strands.
Each year group will assess from an activity taken from or based on a Learning Focus in Reveal.
The activities are listed over the next few slides.
When planning please leave this task out.
Please teach all of Explore, Reveal (but not the task you will use for the formal assessment) and following Remember please formally assess.
This enables the children to have had opportunity to work through the topic in full to inform their assessment.
