What diagnostic assessment has taken place this semester?

We had task last week "test week" which runs to the wholes school, Math,
English, and science (reading test). Based on the that been doing "wolves
in the walls", two Math tests one problem solving and one Numeracy
number based which they do every half term and science test based on
the knowledge and one investigation. Science investigations and the
writing for English was a week worth were the children first do a plan and
then they edit and then they go back improve. And we look for the
content improvement over the days and then we assist like that.

Mostly.

7.

What information did you hope to get from the assessments?

Informed had they understood what we have taught them where are they
in comprehension to the level of other children in their age group, and
maybe with the children in the UK because they do the British curriculum
here. And for grouping.

8.

What decisions did you make based on the assessments?

The decisions I put the children in their reading groups, their

mathematics. Their literacy groups, I also used it for my planning, I
needed to reteach some concepts in mathematics and English because
those concepts a lot of children didnt understand, I saw through the tests.
9.

How did you group your students? (same/different academic levels,

friendship groups, similar interests, etc.)
I group differently over the time the groups changes, we sometimes have
ability group, lower, and then middle, and upper.
A lot of the time we put them in mixed groups. So, the lower one have the
role model of upper.

10.

Do the groups change for different learning subjects/topics?

Sometimes yes, so they help each other but depending on the activity, so
I might have children around all the time. They dont stay in the group for
long time.
If they show working hard and they can be moved to high level and one
child might be higher English low level math.
