It is a brilliant all in one resource with interactive files, printables and SEND section

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Accessible for all children

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so

The children love it!! Very visual

How well supported is it by accompanying formative assessments?

Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

End of each block is normally an end of unit performance

How well does it support planning?

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation

Easy to follow on into the next lesson

Brilliantly: We’d have very few reservations about using this extensively to support home learning

It has a brilliant home log in area

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Well: It’s worth the money and effort to introduce – more so than many similar resources I’ve seen

Great resource.lt has everything you need
