Communion of Saints Strand Assessment

We have just completed our final assessments for 2015 and celebrated the end of our saints teaching by having a dress up day. Children dressed as their saint name or a saint that inspired them. 
In our teaching of this strand we looked at three key concepts of church teaching we want children to develop as they move through the school:

1. Mary is our first and most important saint because of her special relationship with Jesus.2. The Communion of Saints means all the members of the Church - living now, in purgatory and in heaven.3. The choices we make on earth affect what happens when we die, we will be judged on our choices.

Here is a link to possible reflections the children may have

Comparison between 2014 to 2015 . This shows that we have exceeded our projections and 2014. It also shows we have more consistent results across the school year 1-6. This could be due to staff moderation in teams (hubs) this year. Children are also getting used to celebrating their learning by sharing in Whanau groups. 

Here is a graph showing all of the strands taught across all year levels this year.
