The recording and communication of this information about the child's progress will be facilitated by the use of a pupil profile card. The pupil's profile card, which may be developed for use in all primary schools, should contain a summative assessment of the child's progress in all curricular areas and of other aspects of his/her development. The teacher's professional judgement of the child's development in science, based on the outcomes of teaching, learning and assessment throughout the year, will form one aspect of the profile card. The section of the profile card for SESE should be sufficiently flexible to allow for the highly integrated nature of the area in infant, first and second classes. As the profile card should provide a basis for the planning of the child's future in another class or school, it should include, or be accompanied by, information regarding the selection of science topics that the child has explored.
