My Learning Goals

Description:

Today we looked through our reports from last year. We identified a next step (goal) for reading, writing and maths. Here are my goals:

Maths: Cruze's next step is to use 'tidy tys' when adding and subtracting e.g. 185 + 8 as 185 + 5 = 190 + 3.

To achieve this goal I will: master my number bonds to 10. There are links on our class blog to practise this.

Reading: His next step will continue to be using these strategies such as rereading, and to show persistence as texts get more difficult.

To achieve this goal I will: Read everyday at home and at school.

Writing: My next goal is to spell all high frequency Words correctly in his writing.

To achieve this goal I will: Learn my spelling words.

my next step is to  spell all high frequency words. My next goal is to spell all high frequency Words correctly in his writing.

We also looked at our STAR results.

• Word recognition I got 7 out of 10.
• Sentence comprehension I got 2 out of 10.
• Paragraph comprehension I got 1 out of 15.
• Vocabulary I got 1 out of 10.

I am going to focus on: Sentence & paragraph comprehension & vocabulary.

To improve in this area I will: Use the links on our blog.

Education Outside the Classroom

While the Year 5 & 6 students were at camp we had our own camp week.

On Monday we went to a boshworck and cidsripablic.

On Tuesday we had a cinstash day.

On Wednesday art day all day.

On Thursday  we did a worter day all day.

On Friday we did a  camp on the field.

The purpose of the week was to get better at working as a team.

My day was Friday because we got to make smores and pizzas! We all worked together to make the pizzas.

Music

In music with Jenny we are learning to play in a band. We are all learning different instruments and we are working on our rhythm. Check out our videos:

My Reflection:
In music we've done a poem its called hailstones.  we used instruments. I found it pretty good because it was fun.

Active Listening

We are learning about different types of listening. There are 3 main types of listening that we learnt about. Busy Listening - When the person listening is busy doing something. They are too busy to concentrate on what is being said. Me Too Listening - When the person listening has a story that they feel is more important than the person talking so they interrupt and share their story instead of listening. Active Listening - When the person listening looks at the person talking, concentrates, gives non-verbal feedback (e.g. nodding) and asks questions about the story. To learn about the different types of listening, we watched this video:

 

 As a class we created our own video to help us understand the different types.
After practising each type of listening, we realised…

• Busy listening makes us feel like you’re not listening to us. We found it really hard to keep talking. 
• Me too listening makes us feel frustrated and sad that you think your story is more important. 
• Active listening makes us feel valued. We know you are listening because you are looking, nodding, asking questions. 

 As a class we are all trying to get better at being active listeners.

My maths learning

I feel great doing this maths because the animal strips make it easy to work out the answer!
