Progress to learning goals Next Learning Steps

y In investigative work, Bob uses knowledge and

understanding to identify an appropriateapproach.

y Where appropriate, he can recall information and

draw conclusions.

y Graduated shading using different pencils.

y Understanding long division.

y Using onomatopoeia at appropriate times only.

Overall

Bob is a danger to all around him when conducting practical work and needs to quickly learn how to assess situations for potential hazards

and then avoid those hazards. That said, he is enthusiastic in his investigatory work, applying himself with due diligence and compilingexcellent results. His drawing is neat and accurate. His classwork can be exemplary, although sometimes he can drift off task. He does

need to remember his PE kit more often though.
