‘Come and See’ Assessment Tasks for Spring 2015
Lent/Easter – Giving
AT Focus :- AT 1 (iii)
Please find below a range of tasks to facilitate the process of moderation
within Primary Religious Education within AT 1 (iii).
We have placed the task into the context of the ‘Giving – Lent/Easter’ topic, in
the ‘Come and see’ programme.
The tasks are based on actual activities within the Reveal section of Come
and See and have been adapted to meet the focus of the strand AT1 (iii).
They can be amended in accordance with the appropriate ‘driver’ word to
facilitate all abilities within a given class e.g. a Level 3 task in Year 3 can be
adjusted accordingly to cater for pupils working at Levels 1 or 2.
You may also personalise it to your class/school.
The commentary section provides clarity on what is required to achieve a
specific level within a given task and you may choose to use this to
substantiate the reasons for the level you award.
We feel it is important that, as a class teacher, you are aware of the tasks set
within other levels/year groups. This will provide you with a wider
understanding as well as enabling you to cater for all of the pupils in your
class, regardless of ability.
Please take note of the key ‘driver’ words (bold text) within the tasks, as these
serve not only to guide you and the pupils but also guide the very direction of
the task itself.
It is also important to remember that this task only serves as evidence to
support the ‘best fit’ level of attainment achieved by the pupil each term.
Finally, it is essential that in accommodating the needs of all pupils, provision
is given to those whose literacy/writing skills may be below that of their peers.
To this end, evidence of a pupil’s achievement can be recorded orally and
annotated accordingly. This could, for example, take the form of a picture
surrounded by suggestions / comments that the pupil has made. You may
also wish to adapt the nature of the task to accommodate individual pupils’
needs whilst still retaining the appropriate AT focus.
