Secondly, there are sections on writing targets on 'speaking and listening' and assessing each area every half term. e.g. HFW, number recognition, speaking and listening. I assess the children throughout the term and change my planning accordingly, should i be doing tick sheets at the end of each term for these areas? I don't know when this policy was written (quite possibly before the profil…
