Maths went good however my learners didn't meet the expected outcomes and I believe this is because they really only had 2 teaching sessions during the week. I will be continuing the same learning intentions next week.
Writing was ok, we started the week by going on a bear hunt and then writing about it. I then had Lisa from Te Toi Tupu Literacy and English Language Learning in my class on Thursday doing a modelled lesson. I found this really good and got a lot of ideas for how to run my writing lesson that I wouldn't have otherwise thought of. On the other hand it was a hard day because it really dawned on me how little I know and how much I have to learn but I am looking forward to the big challenge I have ahead of me.
Reading has been good, Kristen observed me this week and gave me some good feedback so I have taken that and built on it. One thing I was required to do was look at the triggers to move children from magenta to red and 3/5 children are displaying these so I have moved them up a group. The rest of my groups are learning decoding strategies and are working on being able to use these on their own.
We started learning small ball skills this week and I have tried to turn this time into games that help them use the skills they are leaning.
For topic we started looking at the scientific process. Our first experiment is looking at how plants grow in different conditions (I was sent a planting kit by Dairy NZ through Rosie's education so I am incorporating it into our science). I think that science is going to sit well with the majority of my students as they seem to have a keen interest already.
