Example comments for the end of year reports in Grade/Year 1 - enjoy giving your brain a break!

10 example reports for a year 3 class (could apply to older or younger as differentiated).

A great thinking skills activity. Children to decide which is the odd one out from 3 given pictures, and explain their reasoning. I used this from Year 1 up as an early morning activity and also time filler. Children should be reminded that there are no wrong answers as long as their answer can be justified. I have heard some amazing ideas during this activity - enjoy!

Report card progress report comments for a Kinder class. The class I wrote these for were predominantly ESL so this aspect has also been included. These can be used directly or relevant parts can be cut and pasted. A time-saver for overworked teachers!!

Some examples of comments used in Grade one report cards. Can apply to Grade 2 also and transfers to UK year groups. No more raking your tired teacher brains!

3 differentiated sheets to promote the use of descriptive devices in writing. The resource was used as part of a traditional stories unit. Suitable from year 1 - 3.

A template that children can use to design their own game using a magnet. I used this resource as part of the science springs and magnets unit with Year 3, but this is easily transferable to other year groups.

A grid of activities to complete with given spelling words. A great resource for KS2.

2 differentiated worksheets for use in the teaching of data handling. Children should use the graph to answer questions and create their own questions.

A Word version of the publisher file

This resource contains 5 slides with wordsearches based on different parts of speech (prepositions of place, common nouns, action verbs and adjectives. The aim is for the students to find the words based on the picture/animation. This resource can be used as a recap, time filler or can be used in combination with the ‘What is Missing?’ resource available in my shop. This can be used with KS1 and 2, and also would be great for ESL students. Enjoy!

Children to cut out shapes and try halving them to see which can be halved equally. They should stick the shape into the table with a tick or cross to show their findings. Can be used across ks1 and lower Ks2.

These are some differentiated report card comments for 11 students in Maths. I have aimed these at a Year 3 level.

These resources ca be used to support the teaching of personification in poetry. I used these resources with a Year 3 class however they could be used up to Year 5.

This resource includes 3 differentiated activities. The children are given sentences/pieces of information, and pictures of different animal types. They should work to sort the text and pictures into 3 groups (carnivores, herbivores, omnivores) based on the information they read and see. The children then share how they have sorted in class and class can discuss differences and similarities in the ways they have sorted. This activity worked really well as a group activity but could also work as a paired activity. I used this as a warm up activity for one of my whole class sessions.

Children will use this frame to help them develop ideas about a new character. I used this after the children created characters using the 'draw, fold and switch' method. They stuck their characters onto the sheet and then wrote details about the character they had created. There are 3 different versions of the sheet - a really fun way to promote creative, detailed writing.

A letter from the tooth Fairy, used as a launch for informal letter writing as part of a teeth and healthy eating topic. Used with Year 3 but could be used across KS1 and Lower KS2. The tooth fairy "visited" the classroom while the children were in assembly and left this along with a lot of fairy dust!!

Children generate adjectives, similes and metaphors from a range of picture prompts. Resource can be used as a follow up to whole class teaching. I used these as part of a poetry unit in Year 3.

Here are some sample end of year report comments to be used with a year 3 class (could be easily adapted up or down). The comments cover reading, writing, speaking and listening and are differentiated. Enjoy resting your brain!

I used this resource with a year 3/4 class when introducing the concept of line graphs. This is a great way to get the children to understand trends before actually having to plot or read graphs. The children create their own 'graph story' by looking at the data and coming up with a feasible explanation of what might have happened to create the data. Comparing ideas was also fun!
