Student Input Reflection- Implementing my plan

He Patai? 

 What feedback do my students have? 

 Is this what I expected?

 Should I be concerned Why?/Why not? 

 What further feedback do I need to refine what I am doing? 

 What is it about my practice that I need to have a closer look at? 

 Do I need to make changes to what I am doing or plan to do? 

At the end of Term 1 and throughout Term 2 was a chance to try and fail and try again with my planning and ideas for the target group. The reading levels of this groups are high and I think this allows me opportunites as such to spend our reading sessions unpacking new ideas and activites...as well as reading...however they are such independant readers that they do this in our reading programme therefore some of the pressure was taken off me to keep up the milage side of things during this two term trial! 

Planning reflect and update-

Here is a screenshot of my planning that I have adapted after researching, collating and fine tuning using known authors like Sheena Cameron/ Loiuse Dempsey/ Sunshine Decodables/ Emma Nahana. I created new terminalogy to hook the children into the new activity- such as Zooming in and out and made sure the LI in childs speaks changes daily to obvioulsy match the learning to give the children a sene of fun and shared understanding. These group LI/ actions are exactly the same as my big book teaching so all the children are starting to scaffold the vocab and organiser with SOLO assessment PRIOR to the activity. So my prompt is ...Today we are learning to Make Connections to our text. Can you show me using SOLO how you feel about this stragery? Could you go and do this on your own...and the children self reflect.

Learning Intentions- for all levels in childs speak and matching the suitable level- 

Achievable, visible, measurable. I made these all colour coded for example Making connections is Yellow, so that again these are reaching all abilities. Again placed on board with Big Book as well as with group learning.

Then ...the actual doing...is this the LCS? :-) Well on paper it is!

Grpahic organiser and collaborative activites to show thinking

Above is an example G.O LCS tasks linking comprehension and SOLO. I focused on making one for each day according to the LI and Comprehension stratgy/ Vocab lesson. My plan also included branching out and including HOT to our lessons. I have used De Bonos for quite a while so great to refresh that with this group and then the whole class.
