Print to A3, laminate and pop up on classroom doors. Teachers can add facts that the children have learnt so visitors to the classroom can discuss their learning with them/ check what they have remembered. E.g. Test us on our… 3 x table Ask us to spell… together Question us about… Fair Trade See if we can remember… how the water cycle works Use a dry wipe pen and you can keep updating through the year!
