Inquiry at PES...!
We discussed our Inquiries today in our Staff Meeting. As Mrs Moala and Miss Scanlan were away, Mr Burt joined Mrs Nelson and I to discuss what we have been up to in Team 3.
Here is our slide of our thoughts:
It was a worthwhile discussion and good to bounce ideas around with Simone Nelson - we certainly were trialling some of the same approaches and seeing the benefit of our drama term, paying off in our literacy classes.
It has been a busy time at school testing and writing reports...
I have had a mixed bag of results from my priority learners but I am happy to see that overall progress is being made. Comprehension is definitely the right focus for these learners, as so often their achievement is depending on how familiar they already are with a topic.
Interestingly, using punctuation when reading seems to be the other noticeable theme coming out from this group. Multiple children do not read to the full stop and will read over, into the next sentence. Understandably this will be adding to their confusion and affecting comprehension scores, so this will form a little side focus for my teaching.
Running record results for my priority learners are compiled below:
