Teaching Kids to Succeed In Assessment
Today I worked with a group of stage 5E/5 maths students to try to help them understand how and why they are working at that stage. We looked at the Gloss questions and it seemed that they didn't understand how the language of maths worked with the English language. I'm hoping that by understanding the literacy component of mathematics, their gloss results will improve.

We have just finished the 3-way conferences. To get ready for these conferences, we needed to ensure we had enough information for each student to allow us to make a judgement on whether the student would: not make the standard by the end of the year, make the standard by the end of the year or has already made the standard.
The conferences went very well. It was great to see how well the students are actually doing. For some reason, when you are teaching every day and managing behaviour every day, you don't seem to remember or notice how well things are going.
I think the students and parents are very proud of how well everybody is doing.

We will be doing a syndicate wide writing asttle based on our current topic. Janet has agreed that rather than using a narrative for our asttle, we can have the students explain about a topic. We will also be using a level 3 and level 4 reading asttle. Those students who scored 4+ on the term 1 asttle will be taking the level 4 asttle.
