James Nottingham This is my adapted version of Julia Donaldson's most famous story about The Gruffalo, as told to a group of 6 year olds. It is a great story to begin a P4C (see www.p4c.com) inquiry. I have used it with children between the ages of 4 and 12. Questions that are typically generated by primary school children from this story include: • Is the Gruffalo real? • How can you tell when someone is telling lies? • How did the mouse know what the Gruffalo was like? • Why were the animals scared of the little mouse? • Is it OK for animals to be eaten? Thanks to Mark Bailey for recording and editing the video. This is my adapted version of Julia Donaldson's story about discontentment, trust and wisdom. It is a nice story to begin a P4C (see www.p4c.com) inquiry. I have used it with children between the ages of 4 and 12. Typical questions arising from the story include: • Do we only realise the real value of what we have once it is gone? • Does wisdom come with age? • What does it mean to be wise? • How can we tell which advice we should trust? • Do we need to experience discontentment in order to achieve contentment? Thanks to Mark Bailey for recording and editing the video.

Moderation using e-asTTle & RSS Matrix
I was quite surprised to see both samples for each student gave the same result using the different assessment tools.
Compare & contrast the two assessment systemsSo what? What now?
e-asTTle is great because it is so specific and clear. There are examples for each of the categories (ideas, punctuation, etc) at each level. This makes it easy to justify why a piece of writing is a certain level - making it easier for students to see how they can push their writing to the next level - making learning visible.
