Challenge+Man

The Challenge Man was an idea from Rebecca Boyden (Harefield Primary school) and I have been meaning to try him for ages but felt it was best to wait until I got a new class and start with him from the outset. Every Monday a letter will appear on The Challenge Man board and the class will be set a new challenge - this is when we do the pre-assessment writing. The marking and analysis of this will determine the targets need for the chilldren and AFL to determine that I am teaching to the needs of the children. So it will have a direct impact upon my teaching. The first assignment is a letter from an alien from a dying planet wanting to know all about Earth in particular the Weather, as my first unit is Wht's in the News focus: Extreme Weather. I will photocopy the letters and put them in envelopes for use after the post assessment piece for children to self assess how much progress they have made. Hope that makes sense!
