Math:
- Biggest area of challenge
- Moving across a range of topics as children not retaining strategies, or knowing when to apply them. A lot is based on Term 2 Gloss testing.
Staff discussion - consider how to begin to introduce the idea of choosing an appropriate strategy to solve problems from Y1 level rather than just pushing up with new strategy and number knowledge in isolation.
Reading:
- Biggest success area, especially Anna-Rose.
- 75% class are target readers. Started with Erin taking groups for reinforcement (second run of their books). Two children already on the Reading Recovery programme. Noting some significant progress. Children are self-correcting and correcting others.
- Issue between children’s progress and need to meet standards at particular points
Writing:
- Lesser focus on writing due to strong focus on reading. Team working on writing this term. Reintroducing the COPS model (Capitals, Organisation, Punctuation and Spelling)
- Writing motivation: Using teaching UK web site to work to as a starter
Anything we can help with?
- Query – can children see the application behind the strategy teaching
Teacher Aide use:
- Floats across the class while teacher works with lowest achieving writers.
