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: my next step is to make connections e.g 1/3 of 12 is the same as 3x ? = 12

To achieve this goal I will: practice at home and get better and better. I need to learn all my times tables.

Reading: his next goal is to take time to work out the meanings

To achieve this goal I will: practice getting the meaning. I can use the clues in the story to help me.

Writing:my next step is to use a range of sentence starter

To achieve this goal I will: I will practice my sentence starter. I will use my writers notebook to collect ideas on ways to start sentences.

We also looked at our STAR results.

• Word recognition I got _10__ out of 10.
• Sentence comprehension I got _10__ out of 10.
• Paragraph comprehension I got _12__ out of 15.
• Vocabulary I got __10_ out of 10.

I am going to focus on: Paragraph comprehension

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

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.

Van Gogh Styled Art

We are learning to paint like Van Gogh. We have read lots of books and watched some tutorials. We've experimented with painting our portraits and now we have had a go at painting sunflowers.

Our paintings needs to have
