The formative assessment leaflet

Just noticed, reading through this for the first time properly (have I really been that busy?? ) that it refers to tickled pink and green for growth, and also WALT and WILF. Thought I understood from Shirley that, while these were used a lot in the early days of formative assessment, now they're not considered so good. I havent used any of them, partly on that basis, so I think it would only confuse parents to issue this leaflet.
Maybe we should make an alternative - although I must say at parents night last week everyone seemed pretty happy with their child's progress, and didn't seem to have any problem with or questions about the teaching method. (thank goodness!)
*note - remember to ask Anne about the leaflet at next drop in*
