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 use 'tidy tys' when adding and subtracting e.g. 185-7 as- (185-5)-2

To achieve this goal I will: try my hardest.

Reading: My next step is to persevere when self-correcting words which I am unsure of.

To achieve this goal I will: chunk the words up like hard-est and chu-nk.

Writing: MY next step is to write for different purposes using a range of genres such as explanations and instructions.

To achieve this goal I will: try to do my extra hardest on my goal.

---

We also looked at our STAR results.

• Word recognition I got 8 out of 10.
• Sentence comprehension I got 10 out of 10.
• Paragraph comprehension I got 10 out of 15.
• Vocabulary I got 9 out of 10.

I am going to focus on: Paragraph comprehension

To improve in this area I will: practice practice and more practice until I get 10 out of 10 in Paragraph comprehension.

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.

We watched this video before starting to help us with our painting.
