Speeches

Dear Parents,
All the students now have their speeches loaded with their assessment.
I was very impressed at how the students took up the challenge of researching their culture/country and then only writing keywords on their 3 cue cards.  There is a difference between presenting a speech and reading sentences from the cue cards.
The assessment sheet only marks the delivery of their speech not the content.  The first box is Seldom, followed by Sometimes and finally Always.

Multiplication

Dear Parents,
All students now have their Multiplication assessment loaded on their own blog (accessed using the link on the right hand side).  To share their learning, we have used the Explain Everything app.  This allowed the students to talk and write to solve the problems.  The questions given were relevant to the learning they had been doing in class.  I learnt that some students struggle to talk about how they solve problems.  Hopefully by watching your child's assessment you will get an insight into how they think.  Remember to comment positively on how they are doing.
