Respect,Twister, Spelling and other things

This morning we had the usual 35-40 minute whole-school assembly where students listened to a story about respect, applauded birthdays and shared ideas on respect. This next month the whole school focus will be on respect. Following the assembly students and I went to the scheduled Japanese lesson where students learn the name of everyday school objects and how to play Twister in Japanese reinforcing their knowledge of colours and body parts.  Then it was Daily Phys Education,  P.E., Library which took us up to the lunch break. In the afternoon, as usual. we tackled spelling, this week looking at words with silent letters. These will be tested on Thursday.  Some students were publishing drafts into top copies and two were doing the subtraction lesson they missed on Friday. Students are learning to scan and print out a copy of their Marvellous Microorganism jigsaw puzzles. Tick off another part on the ICT checklist. One student presented his persuasive text which he didn't have prepared from last week, and received two peer assessments and a teacher assessment.  All these assessments are housed in the portfolios under the Smart Board. Students received back their Science books complete with assessments on the last four Science lessons. WB = Working Beyond, AA= Age Appropriate, WT = Working Towards. All spelling corrections were added to their ISL cards. A few students who finished early went on with their Softies. Monday done! The timetable will be adjusted after Easter so I have the students more in the morning blocks.
