Just out of interest really (I'm a teacher myself, but working at secondary level), ds started in reception last week, and has come home today saying that he's been helping Mrs S (his class teacher) with a "passport".
He then started telling me all about it, and it seems to me that it may be some form of preliminary test ... he had to spot the odd one out in sequences of pictures, and (I think), had to say what the next shape would be in a sequence. He said there were other bits, but those were the things he particularly enjoyed doing (he likes jigsaw puzzles, dot-to-dot, and spot the difference anyway)
Am I right in thinking this is a test? (Perhaps I should say assessment really) If so, what's being measured?
DS thought it was great as Mrs S gave him a sticker!

Are there any reception teachers around? Question about whether they get tested at this stage ...
