Personalising Learning

The children had an assessment to help identify the areas of learning they can and cannot do. Now they have booklets which guide their learning on what to do next. We have organised the resources to be flexible and meet their needs. The numbers represent lessons in 'Mathsbuddy' which has been a fantastic resources as it focuses around understanding. Next up, Chromebooks. We can not wait to have the flexibility to create our own timetables and self-direct our learning. Very exciting times ahead!

Letter of Persuasion

We are running the stall for 'Sponge the Teacher' at the fair and without teachers we might have a problem! We are carefully crafting persuasive letters to convince them to help us out. Oliver has created a first draft already, most of it at home, and as a a class we gave him some feedback. We particularly liked the linking sentence of the first paragraph. Awesome effort Oliver! Please note the suggesting function on Google Docs, all Oliver has to do it click on the tick and it makes the changes - very clever!!

Google Classroom and Maths Buddy combined!

We have been using Maths Buddy to support our learning for Number Knowledge. Mr Bailey set up an assignment through Google Classroom which asked us to take a snapshot of our results once we finished the list of tasks. Evie was the first person to take a snapshot and share with Mr Bailey. Mr Bailey was excited because he combined the use of Google Classroom and Maths Buddy. Let us know what you think of Maths Buddy, we are hoping with Chromebooks it will really make a difference.

Cyber Safety

Welcome to Term 4!  We are very excited with the arrival of our Chromebooks. In preparation for these wonderful devices Room 20 are going through a Cyber Safety programme to ensure we have the necessary online etiquette. Also, we have introduced Habits of Mind which are skills to help us cope with the independence we are about to receive on the arrival of the Chromebooks. Very exciting times lie ahead!
