[senco-forum] Assessment and intervention advice

Hi I'm not sure whether to count myself lucky or to panic!

Hi Emma,
If you'd like them, I could attach the 'can-do' assessment sheets for 
Literacy, Numeracy, Science and ICT that I've made available to other forum 
members in the past, to a separate off-forum e-mail. (The forum doesn't 
allow attachments - very sensible!) Just let me know if you'd like them,

All the best,

Barbara
