Hi Everyone,
This is mainly for primary teachers but I would be very interested in everone's opinion on this whatever age range you work with.
I have been looking very closely at the ready to progress documents and whilst I think there are some very good elements I am concerned about other apsects and also about how they are being regarded in school.
Here are a couple of examples of things that are ringing alarm bells for me
Year 1
'Pupils should also learn to recite the odd number sequence, both forwards and
backwards'
'Pupils must also be able to arrange 3D shapes to match an example compound shape.'
What are your thoughts?
I have posted the document on the padlet and here is the link also
